A multivariable logistic regression model was performed using covariates that were significant in the bivariable analyses, including bile duct cancer, longer operative times, and greater blood loss. Prefrail or frail status combined with sarcopenia remained significant in this model (OR 4.74; 95% CI, 1.10–20.29; p = 0.04).

Multi-Label Annotation of Chest Abdomen Pelvis Computed Tomography Text Reports Using Deep Learning [PDF]
Purpose: To develop high throughput multi-label annotators for body (chest, abdomen, and pelvis) Computed Tomography (CT) reports that can be applied across a variety of abnormalities, organs, and disease states. Approach: We used a dictionary approach to develop rule-based algorithms (RBA) for extraction of disease labels from radiology text reports.

Association of diverse bacterial communities in human bile samples with biliary tract disorders: a survey using culture and polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis methods [PDF]
Bacterial infection is considered a predisposing factor for disorders of the biliary tract. This study aimed to determine the diversity of bacterial communities in bile samples and their involvement in the occurrence of biliary tract diseases. A total of

This retrospective study suggests that gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis. Especially in terms of the differences in reconstruction methods, the median time from gastrectomy to development of choledocholithiasis was 5.5 years for Roux‐en‐Y, which was significantly faster than 20 years for Billroth I and 35 years for Billroth II ...

Conjugated polymers as photocatalysts for hydrogen therapy
Conjugated polymers, including linear polymers and crosslinked conjugated materials, are promising photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution due to their excellent optical properties. Hydrogen therapy based on photocatalytic hydrogen evolution presented significant effects in the fields of anti‐inflammatory, free radical scavenging, and cancer treatment ...
