Although multi-modality neuroimages have advanced the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), missing modality issue still poses a unique challenge in the clinical practice. Recent studies have tried to impute the missing data so as to utilize all available subjects for training robust multi-modality models. However, these studies may overlook the modality-specific information inherent in multi-modality data, that is, different modalities possess distinct imaging characteristics and focus on different aspects of the disease.

Heart failure (HF) remains a significant public health issue, with heart transplantation (HT) being the gold standard treatment for end-stage HF. The increasing use of mechanical circulatory support, particularly left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), as a bridge to transplant (BTT), presents new perspectives for increasingly complex clinical scenarios. This study aimed to compare long-term clinical outcomes in patients in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) receiving an LVAD as BTT to those undergoing direct-to-transplant (DTT) without mechanical support, focusing on survival and post-transplant complications.

Monitoring existing cracks is a critical component of structural health monitoring in bridges, as temperature fluctuations significantly influence crack development. The study of the Huai'an Bridge indicated that concrete cracks predominantly occur near the central tower, primarily due to temperature variations between the inner and outer surfaces. This research aims to develop a deep learning model utilizing Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks to predict crack depth based on the thermal variations experienced by the main tower.

Sandblasting and acid etching are common procedures used to treat implant surfaces, enhancing osseointegration and improving clinical success rates. This clinical study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of sandblasted and acid-etched implants. A total of 303 implants were placed in 114 partially and totally edentulous patients using a two-stage surgical technique and an early loading protocol (6-8 weeks).
