Quantifying aortic valve calcification is critical for assessing the severity of aortic stenosis, predicting cardiovascular risk, and guiding treatment decisions. This study evaluated the feasibility of a deep learning-based automatic quantification of aortic valve calcification using contrast-enhanced coronary CT angiography and compared the results with manual calcium scoring. A retrospective analysis of 177 patients undergoing aortic stenosis evaluation was conducted, divided into a development set (n = 97) and an internal validation set (n = 80).

- - The South Korean government has been implementing strategies since 2008 to combat dementia, including expanding long-term care insurance (LTCI) eligibility for people with dementia in 2014, which provided better access to care services.
- - A study of 3,997 newly diagnosed Alzheimer's patients from 17 hospitals compared treatment patterns before (Cohort 1) and after (Cohort 2) the LTCI revision, revealing that Cohort 2 had a longer duration of initial treatment and lower treatment discontinuation rates.
- - Despite similar cognitive scores at diagnosis, patients from Cohort 2 showed improved treatment outcomes, indicating that the revised LTCI system positively influenced care for Alzheimer's patients in South Korea. *
