Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) remains one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders worldwide, representing a primary cause of chronic pain and long-term disability among middle-aged and older adult populations [1]. Current epidemiological projections indicate a concerning rise in the global burden of KOA, with an estimated increase of 74.9 % (range: 59.4 %–89.9 %) by 2050, compared to 2020 figures [2]. Beyond its clinical impact, KOA constitutes a substantial driver of healthcare expenditures…

A novel pendulum-based impulse method to measure CT temporal resolution
High temporal resolution (TR) in CT is essential for reducing motion artifacts from rapidly moving structures like the heart. Although the conventional impulse method can measure TR, it requires specialized equipment to accelerate a sphere, which limits its practicality.

Development and validation of a radiomics model for lactate metabolism genes-based stratification and prognostic prediction in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a notably diverse group of malignant neoplasms that arise from the mucosal epithelium found in the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. This type of carcinoma accounts for nearly 90 % of all tumors located in the head and neck region [1]. Globally, there are over 830,000 new cases of HNSCC each year and 430,000 deaths; the 5-year survival rate has long hovered around 40 %-60 % [2]. Current standard treatment regimens primarily involve surgica…
