The age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index as a predictor of survival in surgically treated vulvar cancer patients [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) in predicting disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS) among surgically treated patients with vulvar carcinoma.

Comorbid CAD and Ventricular Hypertrophy Compromise The Perfusion of Myocardial Tissue at Subcritical Stenosis of Epicardial Coronaries [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Most studies of CAD revascularization have been based on and reported according to angiographic criteria which don't consider the relation between the resulting effective flow distal to the stenosis and the demand of a hypertrophied myocardial tissue.

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...

Management and Outcomes in Confirmed or Suspected Acute Symptomatic Seizure: Role of Structured Outpatient Care

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Post‐discharge management and outcomes of acute symptomatic seizures (ASyS) remain underexplored. We analyzed post‐discharge ASM management and outcomes in ASyS patients undergoing continuous EEG (cEEG), including the role of outpatient care through a post‐acute symptomatic seizure (PASS) clinic. Methods We performed a single‐center,

Improving Disease Comorbidity Prediction Based on Human Interactome with Biologically Supervised Graph Embedding [PDF]

International Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS 2023). Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 14548
Comorbidity carries significant implications for disease understanding and management. The genetic causes for comorbidity often trace back to mutations occurred either in the same gene associated with two diseases or in different genes associated with different diseases respectively but coming into connection via protein-protein interactions. Therefore,
