Background: POEMS syndrome (POEMS) is a rare plasma cell clonal paraneoplastic syndrome consisting of polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes presenting with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD)...

Background: To develop and validate a radiomics model based on 18F-FDG PET/CT images to preoperatively predict occult axillary lymph node (ALN) metastases in patients with invasive ductal breast cancer (IDC) with clinically node-negative (cN0); Metho...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a haematological neoplasm resulting from the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations. Patients’ prognoses vary with AML genetic heterogeneity, which hampers successful treatments. Single-cell approache...

Electroencephalography-based motor imagery (EEG-MI) classification is a critical component of the brain-computer interface (BCI), which enables people with physical limitations to communicate with the outside world via assistive technology. Regrettab...

No studies have investigated whether optimizing implantable cardiac monitors (ICM) programming can reduce false-positive (FP) alerts. We identified patients implanted with an ICM (BIOMONITOR III) who had more than 10 FP alerts in a 1-month retrospect...

Background: The Septin 9 test analyzes the methylation status of the SEPT9 gene, which appears to be hypermethylated in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This has been validated as a colorectal cancer screening test. Due to the high sensitivity...

Background: Power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) with spectral wave analysis (SWA) has been compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in documenting active sacroiliitis in early spondyloarthritis (SpA) but, to date, PDUS/SWA has not been yet applied...

Background: The presence of heavy calcification in the coronary artery always presents a challenge for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in assessing the degree of coronary stenosis due to blooming artifacts associated with calcified pl...

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women globally. In clinical practice, pathologists visually scan over enormous amounts of gigapixel microscopic tissue slide images, which is a tedious and challenging task. In breast cancer diagnosis,...
