Differentiating between POP and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is challenging due to similar clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings, which can delay the diagnosis and treatment of endobronchial tumors.
Methods: We compared general demographic information, laboratory test results, lung CT images, bronchoscopic observations, pathological findings between the POP group and the CAP group.
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect and heart valve defects are the most common cardiac defect, accounting for over 25% of all congenital heart diseases. To date, more than 400 genes have been linked to CHD, the genetic analysis of CHD cases is crucial for both clinical management and etiological determination. Patients with autosomal-recessive variants of are predisposed to Cardiac Valvular Dysplasia-1 (CVDP1), which predominantly affects the right-sided heart valves, including the pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral valves.

Our goal was to compare the performance of the clinical characteristics, radiomics and deep learning model from computed tomography enterography (CTE) for identifying individuals at high risk of IFX treatment failure.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 263 CD patients from three medical centers between 2017 and 2023 patients received CTE examinations within 1 month before IFX commencement.
Rationale And Objectives: The objective was to assess and examine radiomics models derived from contrast-enhanced CT for their predictive capacity using the sub-regional radiomics regarding the Ki-67 proliferation index (PI) in patients with pathologically confirmed gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 412 GIST patients across three institutions (223 from center 1, 106 from center 2, and 83 from center 3) was enrolled. Radiomic features were derived from various sub-regions of the tumor region of interest employing the K-means approach.
Rabbit coccidiosis is caused by infection with one or, more commonly, several species that parasitize the hepatobiliary ducts or intestinal epithelium of rabbits. Currently, there are eleven internationally recognized species of rabbit coccidia, with the complete mitochondrial (mt) genomes of six species commonly infecting rabbits having been sequenced and annotated. was initially discovered in 2011 and prompted a preliminary study on this species.

Lung cancer has the worst prognosis with an average 5-year survival rate of only 10%-20%. Lung cancer has the highest prevalence rate and a second most common cause of cancer-associated mortalities worldwide. The present study was planned to explore the anticancer effects of pelargonidin against the lung cancer A549 cells via analyzing oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis.

Background: The non-invasive biomarkers for predicting immunotherapy response are urgently needed to prevent both premature cessation of treatment and ineffective extension. This study aimed to construct a non-invasive model for predicting immunotherapy response, based on the integration of deep learning and habitat radiomics in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Independent patient cohorts from three medical centers were enrolled for training (n = 164) and test (n = 82).

Tendon defect repair remains a tough clinical procedure that hinders functional motion in patients. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) three-dimensional (3D) printing, as a novel strategy, can controllably fabricate biomimetic micro/nanoscale architecture, but the hydrophobic and bioinert nature of polymers might be adverse to cell-material interplay. In this work, 3D EHD printed polycaprolactone (PCL) was immobilized on basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) using polydopamine (PDA), and the proliferation and tenogenic differentiation of tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) in vitro was researched.

Herein, we describe an asynchronous response fluorescence sensor constructed based on Zn-based metal-organic framework and Ru(bpy) (denoted as Ru@Zn-BTEC) for the qualitative and quantitative detection of tetracyclines in foods. Under excitation at 365 nm, the sensor emitted red fluorescence at 609 nm.

The massive memory accesses of feature maps (FMs) in deep neural network (DNN) processors lead to huge power consumption, which becomes a major energy bottleneck of DNN accelerators. In this article, we propose a unified framework named Transform and Entropy-based COmpression (TECO) scheme to efficiently compress FMs with various attributes in DNN inference. We explore, for the first time, the intrinsic unimodal distribution characteristic that widely exists in the frequency domain of various FMs.
