The Frailty Index and colon cancer: a 2-sample Mendelian-randomization study.

Background: Frailty is closely related to cancer. Previous research has shown that cancer patients are prone to frailty, and frailty increases the risk of adverse outcomes in cancer patients. However, it is unclear whether frailty increases the risk of cancer.

Deep learning to diagnose Hashimoto's thyroiditis from sonographic images.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the main cause of hypothyroidism. We develop a deep learning model called HTNet for diagnosis of HT by training on 106,513 thyroid ultrasound images from 17,934 patients and test its performance on 5051 patients from 2 datasets of static images and 1 dataset of video data. HTNet achieves an area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 0.

Improved diagnosis of thyroid cancer aided with deep learning applied to sonographic text reports: a retrospective, multi-cohort, diagnostic study.

Objective: Large volume radiological text data have been accumulated since the incorporation of electronic health record (EHR) systems in clinical practice. We aimed to determine whether deep natural language processing algorithms could aid radiologists in improving thyroid cancer diagnosis.

Methods: Sonographic EHR data were obtained from the EHR database.
