We aimed to identify hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who will respond repetitive transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) improve the treatment algorithm. Retrospectively, 61 (mean age, 65.3 years ± 10.0 [SD]; 49 men) with 94 HCC mRECIST target-lesions had three consecutive TACE between 01/2012 and 01/2020 were included. Robust non-redundant radiomics features extracted from 24 h post-embolization CT. Five different clinical TACE-scores assessed. Seven feature selection methods machine...
Background Most data on COVID-19 was collected in hospitalized cases. Much less is known about the spectrum of disease entire populations. In this study, we examine a representative cohort primarily symptomatic cases an administrative district Southern Germany. Methods We contacted all confirmed SARS-CoV-2 district. Consenting participants answered retrospective survey either via telephone, electronically or mail. Clinical and sociodemographic features were compared between non-hospitalized...
Widely available tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics use sputum samples. However, many patients, particularly children and patients living with HIV (PLHIV), struggle to provide sputum. Urine are a promising approach circumvent this challenge while delivering reliable timely diagnosis. This qualitative study in two high TB/HIV burden countries assesses values preferences of end-users, along potential barriers for the implementation novel Fujifilm SILVAMP TB-LAM (FujiLAM, Fujifilm, Japan) urine...
Abstract Background After infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and virus-specific neutralizing (nAbs) develop. This study describes antibody responses in a cohort of recovered COVID-19 patients to identify predictors. Methods We recruited confirmed SARS-CoV-2 from Heidelberg, Germany. Blood samples were collected three weeks after symptoms ended. Participants high titers invited for follow-up visits. IgG measured by the...
