The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy of the concurrent utilization of estradiol valerate and kuntai capsule (a Chinese herbal preparation) in addressing premature ovarian failure (POF) and its ramifications for ovarian hemodynamics and sex hormone levels. A retrospective study of 104 patients with POF was conducted, dividing them into control (n=50) and observation groups (n=54). The control group received estradiol valerate, while the observation group received estradiol valerate and KunTai capsules over 12 weeks.

Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), also known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In severe cases, SOS/VOD progresses to multiple organ failure with a mortality rate higher than 80%. Early diagnosis and treatment based on severity assessment improve the prognosis of severe SOS/VOD, but conventional diagnostic criteria may be insufficient for an early diagnosis.

Assessing myocardial viability is crucial for managing ischemic heart disease. While late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for viability evaluation, it has limitations, including contraindications in patients with renal dysfunction and lengthy scan times. This study investigates the potential of non-contrast CMR techniques-feature tracking strain analysis and T1/T2 mapping-combined with machine learning (ML) models, as an alternative to LGE-CMR for myocardial viability assessment.
