CONCLUSION: The LACE index potentially identified patients who could benefit from a TOC visit better than current methods. No difference was found between the methods for readmission rate, although significant limitations in study design could have affected the results. A method targeting patients for TOC visits could be explored by payors, as their patients could benefit from this service.

Background Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs) are associated with high recurrence risks following surgical evacuation. The EMBOLISE trial demonstrated that, compared with surgery alone, adjunctive middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) significantly reduced reoperation rates. However, given the limitations of the clinical end points of the trial, which may be subject to interrater variability and certain biases, the quantitative imaging metrics need to be evaluated. Purpose To evaluate the...

Background/Objectives: Our previous study showed that the dietary structure is imbalanced in a majority of colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. These patients had higher risk of developing malnutrition. In the present study, we aimed to identify factors associated with nutritional risk in this cohort of patients. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of a dataset that was originally collected to identify the factors that are associated with an imbalanced dietary structure in...

Accurate six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) camera pose estimation is essential for augmented reality, robotics navigation, and indoor mapping. Existing pipelines often depend on detailed floorplans, strict Manhattan-world priors, and dense structural annotations, which lead to failures in ambiguous room layouts where multiple rooms appear in a query image and their boundaries may overlap or be partially occluded. We present Render-Rank-Refine, a two-stage framework operating on coarse semantic...
