Medical image segmentation is a focus research and foundation in developing intelligent medical systems. Recently, deep learning for medical image segmentation has become a standard process and succeeded significantly, promoting the development of
BACKGROUND: Vaccines reduce the severity of symptoms, and risk of hospitalisation and death from infectious diseases. Yet, vaccination hesitancy persists. Research identifying psychological risk factors for vaccination hesitancy is limited and
CONCLUSIONS: The use of oral antivirals and vaccinations causes lower risks of all-cause mortality and progression to severe COVID-19 for hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: . The unexpected virulence of COVID19 pandemic determined worse clinical outcomes for patients with CVD during the first year. The adopted preventive measures allowed in the following two pandemic years improved clinical outcomes
CONCLUSION: Data-driven modeling based on CFD simulations can expedite the PIU design process by offering predictive capabilities and clarifying important performance factors. Reducing the time required to design a PIU is critical when a rapid
The role of platelets in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) severity requires further exploration. To determine whether the platelet index is useful in predicting COVID-19 severity, we compared the platelet index in patients with higher and lower oxygen
CONCLUSIONS: Vitiligo as an autoimmune AE was noted to be substantially higher in the COVID-19-vaccinated group compared with the controls. Therefore, the occurrence of vitiligo could be considered as one of the significant AEs post-COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Interventions may be safely delayed for patients with venous disease requiring elective surgical intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. This finding supports the American College of Surgeons' recommendations for the management of
CONCLUSIONS: Both synchronous and asynchronous online teaching methods demonstrated improvements in learning outcomes and high levels of student satisfaction. However, the cognitive load experienced by students was lower in the synchronous setting
