Field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors can be used to measure the charge information carried by biomolecules. However, insurmountable hysteresis in the long-term and large-range transfer characteristic curve exists and affects the measurements. Noise signal, caused by the interference coefficient of external factors, may destroy the quantitative analysis of trace targets in complex biological systems. In this report, a "rectified signal" in the output characteristic curve, instead of the "absolute value signal" in the transfer characteristic curve, is obtained and analyzed to solve these problems. The proposed asymmetric Schottky barrier-generated MoS/WTe FET biosensor achieved a 10 rectified signal, sufficient reliability and stability (maintained for 60 days), ultra-sensitive detection (10 aM) of the Down syndrome-related DYRK1A gene, and excellent specificity in base recognition. This biosensor with a response range of 10 aM-100 pM has significant application potential in the screening and rapid diagnosis of Down syndrome.

Lymphadenopathy is associated with lymph node abnormal size or consistency due to many causes. We employed the deep convolutional neural network ResNet-34 to detect and classify CT images from patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy and healthy controls. We created a single database containing 1400 source CT images for patients with abdominal lymphadenopathy (n = 700) and healthy controls (n = 700).

Objective: This study aimed to develop a simple machine-learning model incorporating lymph node metastasis status with F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) and clinical information for predicting regional lymph node metastasis in patients with colon cancer.
Methods: This retrospective study included 193 patients diagnosed with colon cancer between January 2014 and December 2017. All patients underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT and blood test before surgery.

Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is overtreated, in part because of inability to predict which DCIS cases diagnosed at core needle biopsy (CNB) will be upstaged at excision. This study aimed to determine whether quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features can identify DCIS at risk of upstaging to invasive cancer.
Methods: This prospective observational clinical trial analyzed women with a diagnosis of DCIS on CNB.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the leading surgically treatable cause of hypertension, with adrenalectomy as the definitive treatment for unilateral PA (UPA). However, some patients have persistent hypertension after surgery. This study aims to identify preoperative factors affecting surgical outcomes and develop a predictive model for postoperative hypertension resolution.

Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.
