An interactive image segmentation method for the anatomical structures of the main olfactory bulb with micro-level resolution

The main olfactory bulb is the key element of the olfactory pathway of rodents. To precisely dissect the neural pathway in the main olfactory bulb (MOB), it is necessary to construct the three-dimensional morphologies of the anatomical structures within it with micro-level resolution. However, the construction remains challenging due to the complicated shape of the […]

Different impulse control disorder evolution patterns and white matter microstructural damage in the progression of Parkinson’s disease

BackgroundThe course of impulse control disorders (ICD) varies in the early stage of Parkinson’s disease (PD).AimWe aimed to delineate the association between the evolution pattern of ICD and the progression of PD.MethodsA total of 321 de novo PD patients from the Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative database were included. Patients were followed up for a mean […]

Establishing a nomogram to predict refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty by logistic regression

IntroductionSeveral studies have examined the risk factors for post-percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) refractures and developed many clinical prognostic models. However, no prior research exists using the Random Forest (RF) model, a favored tool for model development, to predict the occurrence of new vertebral compression fractures (NVCFs). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the risk factors for […]
