Emergency department is a key component of the health system where the management of crowding situations is crucial to the well-being of patients. This study proposes a new machine learning methodology and a queuing network model to measure and optimize crowding through a congestion indicator, which indicates a real-time level saturation.

Care pathway for patients hospitalized with venous thromboembolism.
Eur J Clin Invest
January 2025
URC PNVS, CIC-EC 1425, INSERM, Bichat - Claude Bernard Hospital, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, Paris, France.
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is a potentially fatal disease with a multifactorial nature, impacting different medical and surgical specialties. Recently, new guidelines and direct oral anticoagulants facilitated early discharge for most DVT patients and non-severe PE patients.
Objective: The aim of this study is to illustrate the distribution of VTE patients throughout the hospital and map their care pathway from Emergency Department (ED) to hospital discharge.
Artificial intelligence-powered solutions for automated aortic diameter measurement in computed tomography: a narrative review.

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China.
Background And Objective: Patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) are often asymptomatic but present acutely with life threatening complications that necessitate emergency intervention. Aortic diameter measurement using computed tomography (CT) is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, surgical planning, and monitoring. However, manual measurement can create challenges in clinical workflows due to its time-consuming, labour-intensive nature and susceptibility to human error.

World J Gastrointest Oncol
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest 050474, Romania.
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive lethal malignancy with limited options for treatment and a 5-year survival rate of 11% in the United States. As for other types of tumors, such as colorectal cancer, aberrant lipid synthesis and reprogrammed lipid metabolism have been suggested to be associated with PDAC development and progression.
Aim: To identify the possible involvement of lipid metabolism in PDAC by analyzing in tumoral and non-tumoral tissues the expression level of the most relevant genes involved in the long-chain fatty acid (FA) import into cell.
Lipid levels and insulin resistance markers in patients with colorectal cancer: Propensity score matching analysis.
World J Gastrointest Oncol
January 2025
Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Shanghai East Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai 200120, China.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant neoplasm characterized by subtle early manifestations.
Aim: To investigate the correlation among serum lipid profiles, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, and the atherosclerotic index (AI) in patients with CRC. Furthermore, it explored the clinical diagnostic utility of combining serum lipids with cancer antigens in the context of CRC.
Understanding Adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) during a Health Emergency: An Analysis of EMR Usage Logs from Rural Health Facilities in the Philippines.
Acta Med Philipp

Department of Physics, School of Science and Engineering, Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City, Philippines.
Background And Objective: The adoption of electronic medical records (EMRs) in the Philippines has been initiated and adjusted since the last decade through the Philippine eHealth Agenda framework. EMRs are known to improve clinical management and have been widely adopted in advanced economies. However, empirical research on EMR implementation remains limited.
