BACKGROUND. The recently released Myeloma Response Assessment and Diagnosis System (MY-RADS) for multiple myeloma (MM) evaluation using whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) describes the total burden score. However, assessment is confounded by red bone marrow hyperplasia in anemia. OBJECTIVE. purpose of this study to assess utility MY-RADS score, ADC, fat fraction (FF) from WB-MRI predicting early treatment response patients with newly diagnosed MM compare these measures between without METHODS. This...

Introduction To analyze the influencing factors for progression from newly diagnosed prediabetes (PreDM) to diabetes within 3 years and establish a prediction model assess 3-year risk of developing in patients with PreDM. Methods Subjects who were new-onset PreDM at Physical Examination Center First Affiliated Hospital Soochow University October 1, 2015 May 31, 2023 completed follow-up selected as study population. Data on gender, age, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, etc....

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer caused by the unlimited proliferation of intramedullary plasma cells. The presence focal lesions (FLs) presumed to be more relevant factor for patient outcomes and risk distribution than diffuse bone marrow signal abnormalities. Signal changes in these FLs also have good correlation with prognosis. As cell density increased, lower apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value was found diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequence. Therefore, whole-body...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between high intraocular pressure (IOP) and uric acid.In a retrospective cross-sectional study, 19,147 participants were included in 2018. Serum acid (SUA) cut four groups as Q1 Q4, according quartiles. odds ratio (OR) 95% confidence interval (CI) different SUA levels estimated by binomial logistic regression model men women. A restrictive cubic spline method used estimate dose-response IOP. Subgroup analysis performed find...

ABSTRACT COVID-19 caused by Omicron BA.1 has resulted in a global humanitarian crisis. In this pandemic era, hypertension been receiving increased attention. infection combined with created serious public health problem and complicated the treatment prognosis of COVID-19. The aim our study was to assess implications for clinical manifestations adult patients (APs) infected BA.1. This single-center retrospective cohort enrolled consecutive APs, who were admitted Tianjin First Central Hospital...

This study aimed to explore the importance of an MRI-based radiomics nomogram in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) endometrial cancer.

Motivation: There is no appropriate index to assess the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer after surgery. Goal(s): Our goal was explore value an MRI-based radiomics nomogram in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) cancer. Approach: A established using multivariable Cox regression by incorporating significant clinical-pathological predictors and signatures developed another least absolute shrinkage selection operator regression. Results: The proved itself valuable PFS....

Background: Although the spatial heterogeneity of glioblastoma (GBM) can be clearly mapped by habitats generated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), means to accurately predicting location local recurrence (SLLR) remains a significant challenge. The aim this study was identify different degrees enhancement GBM, including nontumor component and tumor component, determine their relationship with SLLR. Methods: A retrospective analysis performed from three tertiary medical centers, totaling 728...

As the field of Large Language Models (LLMs) continues to evolve, context length in inference is steadily growing. Key-Value Cache (KVCache), a crucial component LLM inference, has now become primary memory bottleneck due limited GPU memory. Current methods selectively determine suitable keys and values for self-attention computation LLMs address issue. However, they either fall short maintaining model quality or result high serving latency. Drawing inspiration from advanced embedding...

Aim: This study aimed to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with early glottic cancer using radiomic features on dual-energy computed tomography iodine maps. Methods: Radiomic were extracted from arterial and venous phase maps, risk scores determined by univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis least absolute shrinkage selection operator tenfold cross-validation. The Kaplan-Meier method was used evaluate the association between PFS. Results: Patients stratified...

A single-link, flexible manipulator system was set up in the laboratory. The recursive least square (RLS) parameter estimation method time domain and empirical transfer function estimate (ETFE) frequency were used to identify autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model of system.
