Meta-analysis of MitraClip and PASCAL for transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair

Abstract Background Despite the promising results of both MitraClip and PASCAL systems for the treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR), there is limited data on the comparison of both systems regarding their safety and efficacy. We aim to co...

Identification and reporting of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in Sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review of diagnostic approaches, echocardiographic assessment, and evidence gaps

Abstract Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly recognized as a major heart failure phenotype globally; however, its diagnosis is complex and is recommended to require integrated assessment of clin...

The Effects of N-acetylcysteine on Inflammatory Markers and Homocysteine: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Recently a number of trials investigated the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration on inflammatory markers and homocysteine (Hcy). However, their findings are controversial. The aim of this paper is to present a meta-a...

QG-WRN: A Quantum-Enhanced Graph Convolutional Wide Residual Network for ASD Diagnosis via Neuroimaging Sensing Technology

The pathological mechanism of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits dual heterogeneity: abnormal local energy metabolism and brain-wide high-order topological failure. To synergistically characterize these complex signals captured by adva...

Multi-scale attention and collaborative fusion for enhanced RGB-D salient object detection in weld quality inspection

Abstract Salient object detection (SOD) plays a crucial role in computer vision by mimicking human visual attention to identify and segment the most prominent objects in a scene. The advent of depth sensing technologies has propelled RGB-D ...

A new perspective on delusional states: Evidence for claustrum involvement

Delusions are a hallmark positive symptom of schizophrenia, although they are also associated with a wide variety of other psychiatric and neurological disorders. The heterogeneity of clinical presentation and underlying disease, along with...

Identifying urban villages using graph neural network and transfer learning in Southern Jiangsu, China

China’s rapid urbanization has led to the emergence of urban villages (UVs), whose governance is crucial for urban quality and built environment management. However, conventional identification methods rely on high-resolution remote sensing...

Deep-learning–based non-contrast CT for detecting acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review and HSROC meta-analysis of patient-level diagnostic accuracy

Abstract Background Non-contrast CT (NCCT) is first-line imaging for suspected acute ischemic stroke (AIS) but has limited early sensitivity; deep learning (DL) may improve patient-level detection. Objectives To estimate the diagnostic accu...

Automated segmentation of brain metastases in T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MR images pre and post stereotactic radiosurgery

Abstract Background and purpose Accurate segmentation of brain metastases on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is tedious and time-consuming for radiologists that could be optimized with deep learning (DL). Previous studies assessed several ...

Integrative multiomics analysis of platelet-related genes unveils molecular subtypes and prognostic signatures in acute myeloid leukemia
