Background and Objectives: Optic disc drusen (ODD) can mimic papilledema and are linked to structural crowding, microvascular change, and visual-field loss. We synthesized structural/microvascular differences, functional status and change, diagnostic...

Background/Objectives: Silicosis caused by dust from engineered stone (ES) exposure is an emerging occupational lung disease that severely impacts respiratory health. This study aimed to analyze the association between cytokine profiles and disease s...

Background/Objectives: Soluble ST2 (sST2) has gained recognition as a clinically relevant biomarker across a spectrum of inflammatory, cardiovascular, and respiratory conditions. However, the lack of assay standardization raises concerns about result...

Background/Objectives: Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare peripheral T-cell lymphoma of follicular helper T-cell (TFH) origin, often associated with immune dysregulation and EBV-positive B-cell proliferation. Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a...

Background/Objectives: Relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is often characterized by clonal evolution and acquired genomic abnormalities, which can inform prognosis and direct therapeutic decisions. The emergence of high-risk chromosomal rearrangem...

Background/Objectives: In clinical informatics, the term ‘information overload’ is increasingly used to describe the operational impediments of excessive documentation. While electronic health records (EHRs) are growing in abundance, many...

Background: Segmenting nerve fibres in histological images is a tricky job because of how much the tissue looks can change. Modern neural network architectures, including U-Net and transformers, demonstrate varying degrees of effectiveness in this ar...

Background/Objectives: Hepatic steatosis, a hallmark of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is closely associated with systemic metabolic dysfunction. However, the cumulative impact of metabolic risk factors on liver fat...

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA, mm2) and clinical findings, blood test results, and electrodiagnostic (EDX) measurements in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Meth...

Objectives: Accurate preoperative staging and prediction of extraprostatic extension (EPE) are critical for optimal surgical planning in prostate cancer (PCa). This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET for EPE assessment, compared...
