Background/Objectives: This study demonstrates improved generalization in pressure-ulcer stage classification. In medical imaging, training data are often scarce and disease specific. For skin conditions such as pressure ulcers, variation in camera t...

Background: Lynch syndrome (LS) is a cancer-susceptibility syndrome associated with autosomal dominant predisposition to a spectrum of cancers, primarily of the colorectum and endometrium, which exhibit impaired DNA mismatch repair (MMR) activity. LS...

Background/Objectives: Some classification problems involve ordered categories (e.g., low–medium–high), which are better modeled as ordinal regression. This study aimed to propose and evaluate a dual loss framework—Ordinal Residual...

Background: Tacrolimus is a cornerstone immunosuppressant in kidney transplantation, but its narrow therapeutic index and marked inter-patient variability complicate dose optimization. Conventional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) relies on empirica...

Background/Objectives: Infectious gastroenteritis (IGE) is a major global health concern due to its high morbidity and healthcare burden. The BioFire FilmArray Gastrointestinal Panel (FA-GIP) enables rapid multiplex detection of enteric pathogens, of...

Objectives: Anti-TNF-α therapies have transformed the management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), yet a substantial proportion of patients fail to respond, highlighting the urgent need for predictive biomarkers. Mucosal TNF-α mRNA qua...

Background: Rapid molecular detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can shorten time to effective therapy in complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), but the ability of gene presence and quantitative PCR signal (Ct, and ΔCt = Ct_marker...

Bloodstream infections and sepsis necessitate rapid, sensitive, and clinically relevant diagnostics to minimize treatment delays and improve clinical outcomes. Next-generation sequencing enables culture-independent pathogen detection, antimicrobial r...

Background: Leiomyomas are benign tumors that may cause symptoms and affect fertility, requiring careful assessment. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) becomes crucial when ultrasonography results are inconclusive; however, it is expensive and time-con...

After publication, the authors identified several errors in the manuscript, including inconsistencies between the manuscript’s reported results and the corresponding figures, a missing citation, and incorrect reference citations [...]
