Deep learning predicts Alzheimer’s disease up to 4 years before onset
A graph convolutional and recurrent neural network model can identify patients who are likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease at around 80 percent accuracy, according to a recent Singapore study.
Depressive symptoms confer increased HFpEF hospitalization risk in absence of prevalent CHD
Depressive symptoms appear to put individuals who are free of coronary heart disease (CHD) at risk of hospitalization for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) but not HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), a study has found.
COPD, smoking aggravate complication risk after lung cancer resection
Smoking and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) worsen the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after lung cancer resection, a recent study has found. Focusing on COPD treatment, rather than smoking cessation alone, may be a more optimal approach to improve postoperative outcomes in this population.
BMI mediates pain severity in hands, lower extremities in patients with hand OA
