Background: Designing a feasible risk prediction model for advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) can enhance colonoscopy screening efficiency. Abdominal obesity is associated with colorectal cancer development.
Aim: To propose and evaluate a modified scoring model incorporating waist-hip ratio for the prediction of ACN.
Methods: A total of 6483 patients who underwent their first screening or diagnostic colonoscopy in our center between 2020 and 2023 were recruited, in which 4592 were in the derivation cohort and 1891 formed a validation cohort. Multivariate logistic regression was used to investigate the risk factors of ACN in the derivation cohort based on endoscopic findings, and a new scoring model for ACN prediction was developed. The discriminatory capability of the scoring model was validated by the validation cohort.
Results: Age, male gender, smoking, and wait-to-hip ratio were identified as independent risk factors for ACN, and a 7-point scoring model was developed. The prevalence of ACN was 3.3%, 9.3% and 18.5% in participants with scores of 0-2 [low risk (LR)], 3-4 [moderate risk (MR)], and 5-7 [high risk (HR)], respectively, in the derivation cohort. With the scoring model, 49.9%, 38.4%, and 11.7% of patients in the validation cohort were categorized as LR, MR, and HR, respectively. The corresponding prevalence rates of ACN were 5.0%, 10.3%, and 17.6%, respectively. The C-statistic of the new scoring model was 0.66, which was higher than that of the Asia-Pacific Colorectal Screening model (0.63).
Conclusion: A modified scoring model incorporating waist-hip ratio has an improved predictive performance in the prediction of ACN.

Purpose: The present study aimed to develop a noninvasive predictive framework that integrates clinical data, conventional radiomics, habitat imaging, and deep learning for the preoperative stratification of MGMT gene promoter methylation in glioma.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 410 patients from the University of California, San Francisco, USA, and 102 patients from our hospital. Seven models were constructed using preoperative contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI with gadobenate dimeglumine as the contrast agent.

The Buchwald-Hartwig (B-H) reaction graph, a novel graph for deep learning models, is designed to simulate the interactions among multiple chemical components in the B-H reaction by representing each reactant as an individual node within a custom-designed reaction graph, thereby capturing both single-molecule and intermolecular relationship features. Trained on a high-throughput B-H reaction data set, B-H Reaction Graph Neural Network (BH-RGNN) achieves near-state-of-the-art performance with an score of 0.971 while maintaining low computational costs.

Background: Despite the Coronary Artery Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) providing a standardized approach, radiologists continue to favor free-text reports. This preference creates significant challenges for data extraction and analysis in longitudinal studies, potentially limiting large-scale research and quality assessment initiatives.
Objective: To evaluate the ability of the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-4o model to convert real-world coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) free-text reports into structured data and automatically identify CAD-RADS categories and P categories.

Background: Circumcision is a widely practiced procedure with cultural and medical significance. However, certain penile abnormalities-such as hypospadias or webbed penis-may contraindicate the procedure and require specialized care. In low-resource settings, limited access to pediatric urologists often leads to missed or delayed diagnoses.

This study aimed to develop a deep-learning model for the automatic classification of mandibular fractures using panoramic radiographs. A pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to classify fractures based on a novel, clinically relevant classification system. The dataset comprised 800 panoramic radiographs obtained from patients with facial trauma.
