Mathematical Expansion and Clinical Application of Chronic Kidney Disease Stage as Vector Field
There are cases in which CKD progression is difficult to evaluate because the changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR and proteinuria sometimes show opposite directions as CKD progresses Indices and models that enable the easy
Deep Learning-based Prediction of Major Arrhythmic Events in Dilated Cardiomyopathy: a Proof of Concept Study
Prediction of major arrhythmic events MAEs in dilated cardiomyopathy represents an unmet clinical goal Computational models and artificial intelligence AI are new technological tools that could offer a significant improvement in our ability to predict MAEs In this proof
Impact of Interstitial Lung Disease on Left Ventricular Myocardial Function
Interstitial lung disease ILD comprises a wide variety of pulmonary parenchymal disorders within which progressive fibrosing ILD PFILD constitutes a phenotypic subset By use of speckle trackingbased strain analysis we aimed to evaluate the degree of left ventricular LV dysfunction
Effect of Antiplatelet Therapy After Covid-19 Diagnosis: a Systematic Review With Meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis
Coronavirus disease COVID may predispose patients to thrombotic disease in the venous and arterial circulations Based on the current debate on antiplatelet therapy in COVID patients we performed a systematic review and metaanalysis to investigate the effect of antiplatelet

Survival According to the Site of Metastasis in Triple-negative Breast Cancer Patients: the Peruvian Experience
Evidence regarding differences in survival associated with the site of metastasis in triplenegative breast cancer TNBC remains limited Our aim was to analyze the overall survival OS distant relapse free survival DRFS
Agreement between Arterial and End-tidal Carbon Dioxide in Adult Patients Admitted With Serious Traumatic Brain Injury
Lownormal levels of arterial carbon dioxide PaCO are recommended in the acute phase of traumatic brain injury TBI to optimize oxygen and CO tension and to maintain cerebral perfusion Endtidal CO ETCO may be used as a surrogate for PaCO when arterial sampling
Deep Learning to Estimate Impaired Glucose Metabolism From Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Liver: an Opportunistic Population Screening Approach
Diabetes is a global health challenge and many individuals are undiagnosed and not aware of their increased risk of morbiditymortality although dedicated tests are available which indicates the need
