BackgroundBreastfeeding is widely acknowledged as the optimal feeding method for neonatal health. Remote breastfeeding guidance (e.g., using the telephone, text messages, mobile applications, and so on) may improve breas...

Button batteries, which serve as essential power sources in consumer electronics, are susceptible to various manufacturing defects that pose potential safety risks. This study proposes LMG-YOLO, an enhanced algorithm bas...

External ventricular drain (EVD) placement is a standard neurosurgical procedure for cerebrospinal fluid diversion and intracranial pressure monitoring, yet conventional freehand techniques are associated with substantia...

Abstract Introduction Self-harm and suicide among young people are major public health concerns and delivering prevention and postvention support is crucial. Educational and youth organisations play a vital role in both ...

Abstract When human instructors guide learners through motor tasks, they seamlessly coordinate physical touch with verbal explanations - a dance teacher positions a student’s arms while describing the movement, a thera...

Abstract Recently, numerous lightweight image super-resolution methods with low computational complexity have been proposed, achieving a promising trade-off between reconstruction quality and efficiency. However, most ex...

Transformer-based protein language models (PLMs) learn meaningful representations from millions of unlabeled sequences, capturing evolutionary patterns and functional relationships. Recent advances include ESM-2’s syst...

Abstract Objective “One-stop” interventional therapy for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) traditionally relies on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance, which carries limitations including anesthe...

Abstract Background Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a neuropathic pain syndrome that can be resistant to traditional therapies and severely impairs quality of life. The serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block...

Abstract Background The benefit of ultrasound (US) guidance for arterial blood gas sampling has not been shown in non-preselected emergency department patients; however, it has been shown to be useful in difficult cases....

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous lung needle biopsy (US-PLNB) is a pivotal diagnostic technique for subpleural pulmonary lesions, offering significant advantages such as real-time imaging, absence of ionizing radiation, an...

Abstract Single-image dehazing is essential for safety-critical vision systems, yet existing CNN-based methods are often too heavy for edge devices or fail to adapt to spatially varying haze density. This paper introduce...

Radiography or X-ray imaging is a diagnostic imaging used in medicine to produce images of inner anatomical structures such as bones, teeth, lungs, and chest organs. Impulse noise is one of the major factors that degrade...

OBJECTIVES: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) affect over 1.7 billion people globally with a huge economic burden. Despite decades with legislations, policies and risk-reduction interventions, we see no decrea...

Abstract Background The internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation in the decubitus position is required in some urgent and special clinical situations, increasing the difficulty of performance. Although ultrasound guidance...

IntroductionRhythm-game learning naturally couples auditory and visual information, but always-available sensory cues may act as guidance and limit performance when those cues are withdrawn. We tested whether congruent s...

ObjectiveThe “Internet+” initiative offers new possibilities for addressing the complex health needs of aging populations. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the demands for long-term continuous care amon...

Efficient UAV path planning in large and dynamic environments requires adaptive strategies that account for varying regional importance. Traditional coverage or Reinforcement Learning-based methods often suffer from redu...

Purpose: Dental caries is one of the most prevalent oral diseases worldwide, and predicting Early Enamel Caries (EEC) and Advanced Enamel Caries (AEC) in intraoral imaging is a significant clinical research challenge. To...

Background: Long COVID presents with a wide range of persistent symptoms which can significantly affect daily functioning and increases pressure on already stretched National Health Service. A Digital Patient-Reported Ou...

Despite decades of global attention, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) remain a significant challenge, with substantial personal and societal costs (1). The lack of progress in addressing this prevalent proble...

BackgroundReducing under-5 mortality remains a global health priority. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used by the public to access medical information. However, current evidence evaluating LLMs’ performa...

Background and purpose: Intrafraction motion degrades the efficacy of radiation therapy. We reported on the implementation of focal dose-escalated stereotactic body radiation therapy (HypoFocal-SBRT) for prostate carcino...

Provisional stenting is the preferred percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy for bifurcation lesions, aiming for a single-stent strategy. When implanting the second stent becomes necessary, T-and-small protrus...
