Objective Whether varying degrees of glycaemic control impact colonic neoplasm risk in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) remains uncertain. Design Patients newly diagnosed DM were retrieved from 2005 to 2013. Optimal at baseline was defined as mean haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)<7%. Outcomes interest included colorectal cancer (CRC) and adenoma development. We used propensity score (PS) matching competing models estimate subdistribution HRs (SHRs). further analysed the combined effect...
Background Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have higher pancreatic cancer (PC) risk. While aspirin has chemopreventive effects on digestive cancers, its effect PC among patients T2DM is unclear. Methods This retrospective cohort study identified newly diagnosed adult in Hong Kong between 2001 and 2015 from a territory-wide healthcare registry. Exclusion criteria were history of PC, cyst, IgG4 disease, or pancreatectomy. To address reverse causality T2DM, we excluded within 1...
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence frequently occurs after curative surgery. Histological microvascular-invasion (MVI) predicts but cannot provide pre-operative prognostication, whereas clinical prediction scores have variable performances. Methods: Recurr-NET, a multimodal multiphasic residual-network random survival forest deep-learning model incorporating CT and parameters, was developed to predict HCC recurrence. Pre-operative triphasic scans were retrieved from...

In this work, we propose a new segmentation network by integrating DenseUNet and bidirectional LSTM together with attention mechanism, termed as DA-BDense-UNet. allows learning enough diverse features enhancing the representative power of networks regulating information flow. Bidirectional is responsible to explore relationships between encoded up-sampled in encoding decoding paths. Meanwhile, introduce gates (AG) into diminish responses unrelated background regions magnify salient...
Purpose: To evaluate the radiation dose and image quality on Varian cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) system of software Version 1.4.13. This study investigated organ absorbed dose, total effective CBCT for 200 degrees head‐and‐neck 360 pelvic scanning protocols.Methods: A calibrated Farmer chamber two standard cylindrical Perspex CT dosimetry phantoms with diameter 16 cm head 32 body were used to measure weighted index (CBCTDIw) system. The different organs was measured in a female...
Background: Glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) has well-established health benefits, but it remains uncertain if risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver-related mortality would be reduced.Methods: We identified newly-diagnosed DM from a population-wide registry, using mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurements <7% within three-year lead-in period to define optimal glycemic control. By applying propensity score balance covariates, we analyzed variability via...
