Tumor grade-titude: XGBoost radiomics paves the way for RCC classification
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common kidney malignancy, accounting for approximately 2.2 % of all newly diagnosed cancer cases worldwide [1]. Clear cell RCC is the most prevalent histologic subtype, constituting around 75 % of RCC cases [2]. The International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading system classifies RCC tumours into four grades, with the degree of nucleolar prominence assessed to determine grades 1–3 and the presence of highly atypical pleomorphic cells and/or sarcomato…

The association between peripheral medial and intimal arterial calcification patterns with central arterial stiffness in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus: The cross-sectional Early-HFpEF study
Animal studies suggest that medial arterial calcification (MAC) increases arterial stiffness, which in turn could lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD), but human studies are lacking. We evaluated the associations of peripheral arterial calcification pattern and quantity with arterial stiffness in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
