Cryptorchidism (CO) is a risk factor for the development of testicular germ-cell tumors (TGCT). This is supported by reports showing the persistence of gonocytes in CO patients. These cells are proposed to be related to the development of germ-cell n...

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening complication of heparin therapy (both unfractionated heparin and low-molecular-weight heparin). In our study, we examined a group of 122 patients with suspected HIT. The samples of all pati...

Background: The present study was designed to assess the feasibility and reliability of a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) in a population of asphyxiated neonates during therapeutic hypothermia. Methods: This non-randomized feasibility stu...

We performed a retrospective, observational study of 51 eyes in 51 treatment-naïve patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), whose lesion ranged within the 6 × 6 mm scope of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The...

Background: Numerous mortality prediction tools are currently available to assist patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, an algorithm that utilizes various machine learning methods and employs diverse combinations of...

Dielectric characterization has significant potential in several medical applications, providing valuable insights into the electromagnetic properties of biological tissues for disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of therapeutic inte...

In the context of liver surgery, predicting postoperative liver dysfunction is essential. This study explored the potential of preoperative liver function assessment by MRI for predicting postoperative liver dysfunction and compared these results wit...

High-resolution intraoperative PET/CT specimen imaging, coupled with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) molecular targeting, holds great potential for the rapid ex vivo identification of disease localizations in high-risk prostate cancer patie...

Distant metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma is most commonly diagnosed in the liver; however, it can also be found in the lungs, distant lymph nodes, bones, and brain. Distant lymph node metastasis outside the abdominal region without concurrent abdomin...

It is rare to use the one-stage model without segmentation for the automatic detection of coronary lesions. This study sequentially enrolled 200 patients with significant stenoses and occlusions of the right coronary and categorized their angiography...
