Machine learning model for predicting recurrence following intensity-modulated radiation therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) exhibits unique histopathological characteristics compared to other head and neck cancers. The prognosis of NPC patients after intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has not been fully studied, and there remains a high risk of recurrence. This study aims to construct a reliable model for predicting post-treatment recurrence by integrating high-accuracy machine learning (ML) models.

Immediate extubation after heart transplantation in a child by remifentanil-based ultra-fast anesthesia: A case report.

Rationale: Ventilator-associated complications comprise important fatal aetiologies during heart transplantation. Ultra-fast anesthesia might provide the most effective measure to prevent this type of complication. Immediate extubation after heart transplantation (IEAHT) has recently been reported in adult patients.

Inhibition of human and rat 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases activities by bisphenol A.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a potential endocrine disruptor. It has been shown that it can interfere with steroid biosynthesis and metabolism. However, the mechanism is unclear.
