Medical devices and drugs play essential roles in diagnosis and treatment, and companies that manufacture medical devices and drugs make substantial annual payments to medical institutions and healthcare professionals. These payments can include monetary compensation for education, research, and consultation, as well as in-kind benefits, such as meals. These financial relationships create potential conflicts of interest (COI), which may lead to inappropriate medical care and generate ethical con…

Predictors of early resistance to catheter-directed thrombolysis in patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis
To determine predictors of immediate thrombolysis resistance (iTR) in patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), defined as thrombosis involving the femoral or more proximal veins, with or without concomitant popliteal vein involvement, and to investigate its impact on long-term post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) outcomes.

Semi-automatic and automatic segmentation in the preoperative assessment of graft volume before living donor liver transplantation
Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) has become an effective treatment option for patients with end-stage liver cirrhosis, particularly in countries with underdeveloped cadaveric donation programs [1,2]. For successful adult LDLT, a donor must retain at least 30 % to 40 % of their total liver weight, while the recipient requires a graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR) of at least 0.8 % [3,4]. Grafts with a GRWR below 0.8 % are associated with a higher risk of graft failure and adverse outc…
