Introduction: The study is a register follow-up on a group of patients with a diagnosis of neurosis according to the Danish psychiatric/psychoanalytical tradition. The study group consists of the 'hospital material' used by the late Erling Jacobsen, M.D., in his doctoral thesis of 1965.

Materials And Methods: The cohort consists of 112 patients (30 males (26.8%) and 82 females (73.2%)) hospitalized in the years 1952 to 1957. These patients were suffering from anxiety neuroses, obsessive-compulsive states or hysterical neuroses. In an early phase of the study, a systematic review of all records was made in order to re-diagnose the patients according to DSM-III. The results presented in the study are therefore mainly based on the DSM-III categories.

Results: The original categorization of patients into anxiety neurosis, obsessive-compulsive states or hysterical neurosis did not have any prognostic significance as to readmission or death. DSM-III diagnoses result in a similar picture. During follow-up a total of 67 patients died. There was a weak but insignificant excess mortality of 1.16 for men and 1.14 for women. Death by suicide was significantly increased for both sexes. Most suicides occurred relatively soon after discharge. Of all the 112 patients, 81.2% remained in the original diagnostic main category, while 14.3% received a psychosis diagnosis.

Conclusion: The neurosis diagnosis according to Danish psychiatric tradition appears rather stable. On the other side, a minor fraction of patients were later diagnosed as being psychotic. The opinion that 'real' neurotics could not be later re-diagnosed as non-neurotics has therefore not been confirmed.

Objectives: To clarify the risk factors affecting prognosis after primary tumor resection (PTR) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with synchronous peritoneal metastasis (mCRC-SPM).

Methods: Patients were enrolled prospectively in the JSCCR project "Grading of Peritoneal Seeding in Colorectal Cancer." Factors that may influence overall survival-age, sex, location of the primary tumor, lymph node metastasis, presence of liver metastasis, degree of peritoneal metastasis, peritoneal cancer index (PCI), cancer cure, and postoperative chemotherapy-in the PTR group were examined using multivariate analysis.

Objectives: This study explored the clinical utility of CT radiomics-driven machine learning as a predictive marker for chemotherapy response in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients.

Methods: We included 150 CRLM patients who underwent first-line doublet chemotherapy, dividing them into a training cohort (n=112) and a test cohort (n=38). We manually delineated three-dimensional tumor volumes, selecting the largest liver metastasis for measurement, using pretreatment portal-phase CT images and extracted 107 radiomics features.

An AI-assisted algorithm has been developed to improve the detection of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in high-risk individuals who have normal electrocardiograms (ECGs). This retrospective study analyzed ECGs from patients aged ≥ 18 years who were undergoing coronary angiography to obtain a clinical diagnosis at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan. Utilizing 12-lead ECG datasets, the algorithm integrated features like time intervals, amplitudes, and slope between peaks, a total of 561 features, with the XGBoost model yielding the best performance.
