Targeting Oncogenic RET Kinase by Simultaneously Inhibiting Kinase Activity and Degrading the Protein.

The rearranged-during-transfection (RET) kinase is a validated target for the treatment of RET-altered cancers. Currently approved RET-selective kinase inhibitors, selpercatinib (LOXO-292) and pralsetinib (BLU-667), increase the oncogenic RET protein level upon treatment, which may affect their efficacy. We seek to reduce the oncogenic RET protein level and RET kinase activity simultaneously.

Identifying the presence of atrial fibrillation during sinus rhythm using a dual-input mixed neural network with ECG coloring technology.

Background: Undetected atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a significant risk of stroke and cardiovascular mortality. However, diagnosing AF in real-time can be challenging as the arrhythmia is often not captured instantly. To address this issue, a deep-learning model was developed to diagnose AF even during periods of arrhythmia-free windows.

Deep learning for endometrial cancer subtyping and predicting tumor mutational burden from histopathological slides.

Endometrial cancer (EC) diagnosis traditionally relies on tumor morphology and nuclear grade, but personalized therapy demands a deeper understanding of tumor mutational burden (TMB), i.e., a key biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibition and immunotherapy response.

Impact of diagnostic coding schemas on major bleeding risk assessment for oral anticoagulants in patients with atrial fibrillation using administrative claims data.

Introduction: This study evaluated how different published diagnostic coding schemas impact the assessment of major bleeding risks associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with atrial fibrillation who initiated DOACs or warfarin between 2012 and 2019, using Taiwan's national claims database. Major bleeding events, including gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and other major bleeding events, were identified using coding schemas from Cunningham et al, the Mini-Sentinel protocol, and Yao et al.

Impulsivity and Cognitive Functioning in Inpatients with Concurrent Disorders: A Comparative Study with Healthy Controls and Evaluation of Treatment-Related Changes: Impulsivité et fonctionnement cognitif chez les patients hospitalisés présentant des troubles concomitants : étude comparative avec des témoins sains et évaluation des changements liés au traitement.

Objective: This study investigated impulsivity and working memory among CD inpatients across treatment and compared to controls.

Methods: Patients (= 56,  = 38.2, = 11.
