OBJECTIVES: We sought to develop a prediction score with data from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) EVAR in efforts to assist endovascular specialists in deciding whether or not a patient is appropriate for short-stay discharge.

BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with periods of flares and remission. Designing personalized treatment strategies for AD is challenging, given the apparent unpredictability and large variation in AD symptoms ...
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions worldwide since March 2020. The experience of the 1918 influenza pandemic demonstrated that decreases in the infection rates of COVID-19 do not guarantee continuity of the trend.

This study is concerned with the state estimation issue for a kind of delayed artificial neural networks with multiplicative noises. The occurrence of the time delay is in a random way that is modeled by a Bernoulli distributed stochastic variable wh...
BACKGROUND: Hospital readmissions are a key quality metric, which has been tied to reimbursement. One strategy to reduce readmissions is to direct resources to patients at the highest risk of readmission. This strategy necessitates a robust predictiv...

The aims of this study were to decrease the Lu-SPECT acquisition time by reducing the number of projections and to circumvent image degradation by adding deep-learning-generated synthesized projections. We constructed a deep convolutional U-net-shap...
The mechanisms underlying the resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) patients are not clear. It is of great significance to discern mUC patients who could benefit from ICI therapy in clinica...
OBJECTIVES: The study evaluates the plausibility and applicability of prediction, pattern recognition and modelling of complications post-endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) by artificial intelligence for more accurate surveillance in practice.
