This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based Delta radiomics characteristics extrapolated from Ax LAVA + C series identify intermediary- and high-risk factors in patients with cervical cancer undergoing surgery following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. A total 157 were divided into two groups: those without any or one intermediary-risk factor (negative group; n = 75). Those more than (positive 82). Radiomics extracted Ax-LAVA MRI sequences. The...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic diseases. Studies have shown that sleep apnea associated with NAFLD. However, studies on association between disorders in general and NAFLD are limited. We conducted a nationwide population-based longitudinal study to evaluate this potential association.We identified patients diagnosed years 2000 through 2005 Taiwan using National Health Insurance Research Database selected an equal number without from same database...
Purpose This study aimed to determine the risk and time trends of herpes zoster among patients with head neck cancer, or without radiotherapy. Methods A total 2160 cancer were enrolled. The radiotherapy non- cohorts frequency-matched at a 1:1 ratio according sex, age, index date. Moreover, 1080 matched non-cancer individuals considered normal controls. Data obtained from National Health Insurance Research Database Cancer Registry. primary end point was incidence zoster, adjusted confounding...
ABSTRACT Introduction: There are emerging but inconsistent evidences about anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) as radio- or chemo-sensitizers to improve survival in glioblastoma patients. We conducted a nationwide population-based study evaluate the impact of concurrent AED during post-operative chemo-radiotherapy on outcome. Material and Methods: A total 1057 patients were identified by National Health Insurance Research Database Cancer Registry 2008–2015. Eligible criteria included those receiving...
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the effect of radiotherapy (RT) on risk herpes zoster (HZ) in patients with gynecological cancers via a nationwide population-based study. METHODS Based patient data obtained from National Health Insurance Research Database, 1928 cancer were identified 1:1 matching for RT and non-RT cohorts by age, index date, type. Another cohort consisting 964 non-cancer individuals matched was used as normal control. The incidence HZ compared between without RT....
Major trauma has been one of the leading causes morbidity, mortality, and functional disability, resulting in substantial societal burden. The aim this study was to estimate trends burden adult major Taiwan during 2003-2015. Adult patients with initial encounter (injury severity score ≥ 16) were abstracted from claim data National Health Insurance (NHI) January 2003 December 2015. We explored incidence mortality rates over time stratified by age sex, as well life expectancy (LE), loss-of-LE,...
Purpose This study found that the enhancer of rudimentary homolog (ERH) knockdown can inhibit cell migration and invasion in human bladder cancer (BUC) T24 cells.We further it may through NF-jB pathway regulating EMT to produce this biological effect.Methods We used wound healing scratch assay, transwell migration/invasion chamber experiments nude mouse tail vein transfer assay find ability after ERH was vitro vivo.EMT marker protein were detect BUC cells.Moreover, we gene expression...
Abstract OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based Delta radiomics characteristics extrapolated from Ax LAVA+C series identify intermediary- and high-risk factors in patients with cervical cancer undergoing surgery following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total 157 were divided into two groups, namely, those without absence or presence any intermediary-risk (negative set; n = 75) more than one factor...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly becoming the most common cause of chronic disease. In smaller studies, sleep disorder has been previously associated with NAFLD. The aim this study was to assess independent associations NAFLD among patients disorders using a nationwide population-based data. A cohort design conducted Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database from 2000 2013. We identified during 2005. equal number without were randomly selected as comparison...
Abstract Background There are emerging but inconsistent evidences about anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) as radiosensitizers to improve survival in glioblastoma (GBM) patients. We conducted a population-based study evaluate the impact of concurrent AED during post-operative chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) on outcome. Methods 1057 GBM patients were identified by National Health Insurance Research Database and Cancer Registry 2008-2015. Eligible criteria included those receiving surgery, adjuvant RT...
