The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Background: Primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses significant clinical challenges due to late-stage diagnosis, tumor heterogeneity, and rapidly evolving therapeutic strategies. While systematic reviews and meta-analyses are essential for updating clinical guidelines, their labor-intensive nature limits timely evidence synthesis.

Objective: This study proposes an automated literature screening workflow powered by large language models (LLMs) to accelerate evidence synthesis for HCC treatment guidelines.

Introduction: Accurate liver volumetry is crucial for hepatectomy. In this study, we developed and validated a deep learning system for automated liver volumetry in patients undergoing hepatectomy, both preoperatively and at 7 days and 3 months postoperatively.

Methods: A 3D U-Net model was trained on CT images from three time points using a five-fold cross-validation approach.

Background: The approach to appropriate risk stratification for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is variable, and the adoption of non-invasive liver disease assessments in clinical practice is suboptimal. In this study, we implemented an electronic decision support tool for primary care patients with MASLD to assess its influence on linkage to care.

Methods: We performed a prospective, before-and-after pilot study in which post-implementation providers were presented with an electronic decision aid automating non-invasive liver disease assessments with the Fibrosis-4 score and providing individualized, guideline-directed recommendations.

Background: Patient-specific dosimetry in radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) offers a promising approach to optimize the balance between treatment efficacy and toxicity. The introduction of 360° CZT gamma cameras enables the development of personalized dosimetry studies using whole-body single photon emission computed tomography and computed tomography (SPECT/CT) data.

Purpose: This study proposes to validate the collapsed-cone superposition (CCS) approach against Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for whole-body dosimetry of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
