Background: The DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a multi-target neuroprotective drug, improving cognitive impairment in patient with vascular cognitive impairment has been confirmed. The efficacy of NBP in patients with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NBP in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD though a clinical randomized controlled trail.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assesses a novel MRI radiomics stacking ensemble learning model for predicting outcomes of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation in patients with uterine fibroids.
  • Data from 360 patients is analyzed, utilizing deep learning for automated segmentation and various statistical methods for feature selection to enhance predictive accuracy.
  • Results showed that among the models tested, the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) performed the best with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.858, indicating strong potential for preoperative prognosis using MRI features.
