BACKGROUND: Advanced unresectable gastric cancer (GC) patients were previously treated with chemotherapy alone as the first-line therapy. However, with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2022 approval of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) i...
BACKGROUND: Although vascularized bone graft (VBG) transfer is the current standard for mandibular reconstruction, reconstruction with a mandibular reconstruction plate (MRP) and with a soft-tissue flap (STF) alone remain crucial options for patients...
This retrospective study applied machine-learning models to predict treatment outcomes of women undergoing elective fertility preservation. Two-hundred-fifty women who underwent elective fertility preservation at a tertiary center, 2019-2022 were inc...

The cited article reports on a convolutional neural network trained to predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy from pre-treatment breast MRI scans. The proposed algorithm attains impressive performance on the test dataset with a mean Area Under ...
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) effectively treats brain metastases. It can provide local control, symptom relief, and improved survival rates, but it poses challenges in selecting optimal candidates, determining dose and fractionation, m...
The response variability to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) challenges the effective use of this treatment option in patients with schizophrenia. This variability may be deciphered by leveraging predictive information in structura...
BACKGROUND: Healthcare providers currently calculate risk of the composite outcome of morbidity or mortality associated with a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery through manual input of variables into a logistic regression-based risk calc...
OBJECTIVE: Failure-to-mature and early stenosis remains the Achille's heel of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. The maturation and patency of an AVF can be influenced by a variety of demographic, comorbidity, and anatomical factors. ...
BACKGROUND: Although high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an established treatment option for medial compartment osteoarthritis, predictive factors for HTO treatment success remain unclear. This study aimed to identify informative variables associated with...
