Background/Objectives: A new LED endoscopy system featuring advanced noise-reduction technology, the EP-8000 with the EC-860ZP colonoscope (Fujifilm), was introduced in 2024. We evaluated the improvements in colonoscopic image quality of this system,...

The electrocardiogram (ECG) remains a cornerstone of modern cardiology, providing rapid, non-invasive, and widely accessible diagnostic insights. While ECG interpretation is an essential skill for clinicians, certain patterns can be subtle or atypica...

Background/Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignancy of the oral cavity and is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage, resulting in poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Identifying reliable biomarker...

Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital mammography (DM) screening holds promise for early breast cancer detection, potentially enhancing accuracy and efficiency. However, AI performance is not identical to that of huma...

Background: Respiratory infections (RIs) are a common cause of care by Prehospital Emergency Medical Services (PEMS). Early Warning Scores (EWS) are tools used by PEMS to assess patients with acute pathology. However, there is little evidence of thei...

Introduction: Fertility is fundamental to human well-being, significantly impacting both individual lives and societal development. In particular, sperm morphology—referring to the shape, size, and structural integrity of sperm cells—is a...

Background/Objectives: Trauma scoring systems are essential tools for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with multiple injuries. This study aimed to compare the performance of various anatomical and physiological scoring systems in predicting m...

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, largely due to late-stage diagnoses. While low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has improved early detection and reduced mortality in high-risk populations, traditional screen...

Background/Objectives: Diagnostic reasoning is essential in clinical practice and medical education, yet it often becomes an automated process, making its cognitive mechanisms less visible. Despite the widespread use of electronic medical records, fe...

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common joint diseases. Hematologic markers have been investigated to determine its severity and predict the prognosis of joint diseases. In this study, we investigated whether the systemic immune-inflamma...
