Multi-Gene Panel for Thrombophilia Testing in Venous Thromboembolism.

Background: Conventional tests for inherited thrombophilia focus on the five most-established inherited thrombophilias; i.e. deficiencies in antithrombin, protein C, and protein S, and the factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A variants.

Assessing the deep learning based image quality enhancements for the BGO based GE omni legend PET/CT.

Background: This study investigates the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in compensating the lack of time-of-flight (TOF) of the GE Omni Legend PET/CT, which utilizes BGO scintillation crystals.

Methods: The current study evaluates the image quality of the GE Omni Legend PET/CT using a NEMA IQ phantom. It investigates the impact on imaging performance of various deep learning precision levels (low, medium, high) across different data acquisition durations.

Human genetics implicate thromboembolism in the pathogenesis of long COVID in individuals of European ancestry.

SARS-CoV-2 infection can result in long COVID, characterized by post-acute symptoms from multiple organs. Current hypotheses on mechanisms underlying long COVID include persistent inflammation and thromboembolism; however, compelling evidence from humans is limited and causal associations remain unclear. Here, we tested the association of thromboembolism-related genetic variants with long COVID in the Long COVID Host Genetics Initiative ( =3,018; =994,582).
