Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the rate, location, and characteristics of bifid mandibular canals (BMCs) in the population of the Shanghai area using cone beam computed tomography to avoid complications during surgical procedures.
Methods: Two hundred eighty patients were recruited for this study, and the presence and morphology of BMCs were evaluated.
Results: The occurrence rate of BMCs in the Shanghai area was relatively high compared with that in other populations, reaching 31.1%. In addition, the study also found some far less-common trifid mandibular canals, as well as a peculiarly shaped special type, which we called v-type canal that has yet to be described.
Conclusions: Our study underlined the different characteristics and occurrence rates of BMCs in the population of the Shanghai area and the importance of using cone beam computed tomography for a reliable detection, providing useful information to help prevent presurgery and postsurgery complications.

A convenient but efficient tool for evaluating dietary intakes in Chinese professional athletes has yet to be established. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of a short semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) through comparison with 3-day weighed food records (3DWFRs) and corresponding serum biomarkers from a cohort of 102 professional athletes, while also evaluating its reproducibility. The relative validity was assessed using Spearman correlation coefficients, cross-quintiles classification, weighted kappa, and Bland-Altman analysis, while reproducibility was evaluated using the Spearman correlation coefficients and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between two FFQs.

Objectives: To develop and validate the performance of CT-based radiomics models for predicting the prognosis of acute pancreatitis.
Methods: All 344 patients (51 ± 15 years, 171 men) in a first episode of acute pancreatitis (AP) were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into training (n = 206), validation (n = 69), and test (n = 69) sets with the ratio of 6:2:2. The patients were dichotomized into good and poor prognosis subgroups based on follow-up CT and clinical data.

Background: Previous studies have found that AD-related plasma markers are associated with Aβ deposition, but the specific effects remain unclear.
Method: Data were obtained from the Longitudinal Study of Cognitive Decline in China (SILCODE). Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments, MRI, plasma samples, and amyloid positron-emission tomography (Aβ-PET) data were collected.

Background: About 50-90% people with dementia would develop behavioral disturbances, namely, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Antipsychotic medications are widely used to control severe BPSD symptoms which suffers serious safety risks. It is challenge for individualized precise prediction of antipsychotic drug doses.
