Background: Several recent studies have found that the efficacy of computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) on the adenoma detection rate (ADR) diminished in real-world settings. The role of unmeasured factors in AI-human interaction, such as monitor approaches, remains unknown. This study aimed to validate the effectiveness of CADe in the real world and assess the impact of monitor approaches.

We performed an epidemiological meta-analysis to assess cancer likelihood in AD patients and vice versa and explored the role of APOE in tumor immunity across 33 The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cancer types. Our analysis revealed that people with AD are epidemiologically less likely to develop cancer than individuals without AD (RR: 0.

However, there is still insufficient evidence of their use in real-life clinical practice.

Decoding gene regulatory networks is essential for understanding the mechanisms underlying many complex diseases. GENET is developed, an automated system designed to extract and visualize extensive molecular relationships from published biomedical literature. Using natural language processing, entities and relations are identified from a randomly selected set of 1788 scientific articles, and visualized in a filterable knowledge graph.

Gliomas are highly heterogeneous in molecular, histology, and microenvironment. However, a classification of gliomas by integrating different tumor microenvironment (TME) components remains unexplored. Based on the enrichment scores of 17 pathways involved in immune, stromal, DNA repair, and nervous system signatures in diffuse gliomas, we performed consensus clustering to uncover novel subtypes of gliomas.

We comprehensively investigated the risk factors associated with PEP by constructing and validating a model incorporating multimodal data through multiple steps.
Methods: Cases (n = 1916) of ERCP were retrospectively collected from multiple centers for model construction.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). An interesting question is how different are the molecular and phenotypic profiles between HBV-infected (HBV+) and non-HBV-infected (HBV-) HCCs? Based on the publicly available multi-omics data for HCC, including bulk and single-cell data, and the data we collected and sequenced, we performed a comprehensive comparison of molecular and phenotypic features between HBV+ and HBV- HCCs. Our analysis showed that compared to HBV- HCCs, HBV+ HCCs had significantly better clinical outcomes, higher degree of genomic instability, higher enrichment of DNA repair and immune-related pathways, lower enrichment of stromal and oncogenic signaling pathways, and better response to immunotherapy.

We aim to build a deep learning (DL) model to diagnose whitish gastric neoplasms and explore the effect of adding domain knowledge in model construction.

Study Objective: To explore how American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification affects different machine learning models in hypotension prediction and whether the prediction uncertainty could be quantified.
Design: Observational Studies SETTING: UofL health hospital PATIENTS: This study involved 562 hysterectomy surgeries performed on patients (≥ 18 years) between June 2020 and July 2021.
Interventions: None MEASUREMENTS: Preoperative and intraoperative data is collected.
Importance: The adherence of physicians and patients to published colorectal postpolypectomy surveillance guidelines varies greatly, and patient follow-up is critical but time consuming.
Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of an automatic surveillance (AS) system in identifying patients after polypectomy, assigning surveillance intervals for different risks of patients, and proactively following up with patients on time.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this diagnostic/prognostic study, endoscopic and pathological reports of 47 544 patients undergoing colonoscopy at 3 hospitals between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2022, were collected to develop an AS system based on natural language processing.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cancer are common age-related diseases, and epidemiological evidence suggests an inverse relationship between them. However, investigating the potential mechanism underlying their relationship remains insufficient.
Methods: Based on genome-wide association summary statistics for 42,034 AD patients and 609,951 cancer patients from the GWAS Catalog using the two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method.
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) performed variously among test sets with different diversity due to sample selection bias, which can be stumbling block for AI applications. We previously tested AI named ENDOANGEL, diagnosing early gastric cancer (EGC) on single-center videos in man-machine competition. We aimed to re-test ENDOANGEL on multi-center videos to explore challenges applying AI in multiple centers, then upgrade ENDOANGEL and explore solutions to the challenge.

Studies of how positive and negative coping styles affect social anxiety show mixed results. Hence, our two meta-analyses determined the overall effect sizes of problem solving-focused coping (PSC) styles and emotion-focused coping (EFC) styles on social anxiety in mainland China (PSC: k = 49 studies, N = 34,669; EFC: k = 52, N = 36,531). PSC was negatively linked to social anxiety (- .

Stereo matching in binocular endoscopic scenarios is difficult due to the radiometric distortion caused by restricted light conditions. Traditional matching algorithms suffer from poor performance in challenging areas, while deep learning ones are limited by their generalizability and complexity. We introduce a non-deep learning cost volume generation method whose performance is close to a deep learning algorithm, but with far less computation.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Although transcriptomic data have been widely applied to explore various diseases, few studies have investigated the association between transcriptomic perturbations and disease development in a wide variety of diseases.
Methods: Based on a previously developed algorithm for quantifying intratumor heterogeneity at the transcriptomic level, we defined the variation of transcriptomic perturbations (VTP) of a disease relative to the health status. Based on publicly available transcriptome datasets, we compared VTP values between the disease and health status and analyzed correlations between VTP values and disease progression or severity in various diseases, including neurological disorders, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, liver diseases, kidney diseases, digestive diseases, and endocrine diseases.
