Objective:: The purpose of this study was to use patient data gathered by a hospital information system (HIS) to improve the safe performance of bedside radiography.
Method:: Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to investigate the factors of hospitalised patients who had undergone radiography in the X-ray room or at the bedside. Logistic regression analysis was then performed to quantify patient factors and calculate the probability of undergoing general radiography or bedside radiography.
Results:: Patients were grouped into six clusters by hierarchical cluster analysis on the basis of their factors. We found a remarkable difference between clusters for the ratio of bedside radiography. Results indicated that "types of transportation" and "level of mobility" related to the ratio of bedside radiography. Logistic regression analysis of the associations between the probability of undergoing bedside radiography and patient factors indicated that type of transportation and level of mobility were highly correlated with bedside radiography or general radiography.
Conclusion:: Our results suggested that the secondary use of HIS data for the quantitative evaluation of patient factors and implementation of those quantitative values in medical records may be useful for the safe performance of bedside radiography as well as providing a method of decision support for doctors to order bedside radiography.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown great potential for treating various diseases. Translating EVs-based therapy from bench to bedside remains challenging due to inefficient delivery of EVs to the injured area and lack of techniques to visualize the entire targeting process. Here we developed a dopamine surface functionalization platform that facilitates easy and simultaneous conjugation of targeting peptide and multi-mode imaging probes to the surface of EVs.

Background: Muscle quality and mass in cancer patients have prognostic and diagnostic importance.
Objectives: The objectives are to analyze agreement between gold-standard and bedside techniques for morphofunctional assessment.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 156 consecutive colorectal cancer outpatients that underwent computed tomography (CT) scanning at lumbar level 3 (L3), whole-body bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), point-of-care nutritional ultrasound (US), anthropometry, and handgrip strength in the same day.

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a common and potentially life-threatening condition in preterm infants, primarily due to surfactant deficiency. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical to guide timely interventions such as surfactant administration and respiratory support. Traditionally, chest X-rays have been used for diagnosis, but lung ultrasound (LUS) has gained prominence due to its non-invasive, radiation-free, and bedside applicability.

A 58-year-old hypertensive man was admitted with severe central chest pain and palpitation. His electrocardiogram (ECG) showed fast atrial fibrillation with features suggestive of left main coronary artery occlusion. He was taken to the Cath-lab but surprisingly, coronary angiogram (CAG) showed no stenosis.
