A multilevel, three-dimensional, deep learning segmentation algorithm applied to noncontrast chest CT images delineated distinct bone mineral density patterns from whole thoracic vertebrae and provided incremental value in predicting vertebral fractures.
There is no evidence linking specific osteoarthritis (OA) types, such as erosive hand OA (EHOA), with distant generalised changes in muscle composition (sarcopenia), which can potentially be modified. This study pioneers the exploration of association between EHOA and sarcopenia, both are predominantly observed older adults.
Background: A number of patients with periampullary carcinoma deemed resectable on preoperative CT have their curative-intent surgery aborted the basis intraoperative findings. Objective: This study sought to identify imaging and clinical factors associated Whipple procedures for adenocarcinoma. Methods: Ten U.S., Canadian, French institutions contributed data this retrospective case-control 360 adults (220 men, 140 women; mean age, 68.6 ± 8.4 [SD] years) adenocarcinoma who underwent between...
To determine the association between Intra-articular mineralization (IAM) and knee osteoarthritis (OA) outcomes stratified according to participants' age.
Background Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are a known risk factor for incident knee osteoarthritis (OA), and deep learning (DL) methods can assist in automated segmentation prediction. Purpose To develop validate DL model quantifying tibiofemoral BML volume on MRI scans knees without radiographic OA to assess the association between longitudinal changes OA. Materials Methods This retrospective study included from Osteoarthritis Initiative prospective cohort (February 2004-October 2015). The...
Hyperthyroidism is associated with lower lean body mass, as a result of catabolic actions thyroid hormone. Therefore, higher hormone levels could be factor in the development sarcopenia and age functional decline. The relationship between muscle mass ambulatory, euthyroid older adults not known.
To develop a deep learning algorithm capable of extracting pectoralis muscle and adipose measurements to longitudinally investigate associations between these incident heart failure (HF) in participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis (MESA).
Empathy is a cognitive attribute that forms the cornerstone for good doctor-patient encounters. The formative period development of empathy toward patients begins with clinical encounters within medical school. An individual student's levels may in part be product their resilience and perfectionist attitudes. A cross-sectional study 320 students across all years was conducted to determine correlation perfectionism students. JSE-S, CD-RISC 10, APS-R scales were used assess empathy,...
Since its introduction, four dimensional computed tomography (4D CT) has improved the precision of a variety diagnostic challenges such as radiation therapy in oncology and also been expanded into cardiovascular assessments well. Its use musculoskeletal imaging marks breakthrough peripheral joint imaging, enabling detailed analysis biomechanics stability across various joints knee, wrist, shoulder, ankle. Studies employing 4D CT have offered new insights normative altered biomechanics,...
Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection that primarily targets the immunosuppressed. We investigated differences in demographics and characteristics between immunosuppressed immunocompetent patients with nocardiosis a tertiary care hospital Pakistan. Retrospective records were reviewed for diagnosed pulmonary 2010 2020. Immunosuppressed individuals identified as those autoimmune diseases, hematologic diseases malignancies, HIV, immunosuppressant therapy, etc. Data collected included basic...
To assess the demographic and clinical characteristics treatment of patients with sarcoidosis in tertiary care settings.The descriptive retrospective study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, comprised data from 2017 to 2019 established diagnosis sarcoidosis. Data collected on a predesigned proforma it analysed using SPSS 23.Of 974 evaluated, 108(11.1%); 58(53.7%) them being females. The overall mean age 50.9±12.9 years. Hypertension 49(45.4%) diabetes mellitus 37(34.3%)...
Deep learning (DL) is a relatively newer subdomain of machine (ML) with incredible potential for certain applications in the medical field. Given recent advances its use neuro-oncology, role diagnosing, prognosticating, and managing care cancer patients has been subject many research studies. The gamut studies shown that landscape algorithmic methods constantly improving each iteration from inception. With increase availability high-quality data, more training sets will allow higher fidelity...
<b>Objective:</b> Nocardiosis is an opportunistic infection that primarily targets the immunocompromised. We investigate differences in demographics and characteristics between immunocompromised immunocompetent patients with nocardiosis at a tertiary care hospital Pakistan. Methods Materials: Retrospective records were reviewed for diagnosed pulmonary 2003 2020. Immunosuppressed individuals identified as those autoimmune hematologic disease, malignancies, HIV, immunosuppressant therapy etc....
