The diagnosis of sonographically indeterminate adnexal masses (AM) signifies a major challenge in clinical practice. Early detection and characterization have increased the need for accurate imaging evaluation before treatment. To assess the validity and reproducibility of the ADNEX MR Scoring system in the diagnosis of sonographically indeterminat...

Accurate and fast path calculation is essential for applications such as vehicle navigation systems and transportation network routing. Although many shortest path algorithms for restricted search areas have been developed in the past ten years to speed up the efficiency of path query, the performance including the practicability still needs to be ...

Simple Summary In biological terms, the term "pathway" is used to describe a collection of processes within a cell that lead to one or more actions. The graphical representation of these processes enables the reader to understand complex relationships and interactions much more easily compared to free-text descriptions. While there is usually agree...
In the Spring of 2020, we launched a rigor and reproducibility curriculum for medical students in research training programs. This required class consisted of eight, two-hour sessions which transitioned to remote learning in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. The class was graded as Pass/Fail. Flipped classroom techniques, with multiple hands-on ex...

Irreproducibility is a well-recognized problem in biomedical animal experimentation. Phenotypic variation in animal models is one of the many challenging causes of irreproducibility. How to deal with phenotypic variation in experimental designs is a topic of debate. Both reducing and embracing variation are highlighted as strategies for reproducibi...

Multi-omics, variously called integrated omics, pan-omics, and trans-omics, aims to combine two or more omics data sets to aid in data analysis, visualization and interpretation to determine the mechanism of a biological process. Multi-omics efforts have taken center stage in biomedical research leading to the development of new insights into biolo...

Left atrium (LA) volume is a biomarker of cardiovascular outcomes. Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) provides an accurate LA evaluation, but data regarding the optimal 3DE method is scarce. We assessed the feasibility and reproducibility of LA measurements using different 3DE methods. One hundred and ninety-four patients were prospectively a...

Aims: To evaluate the repeatability of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) radiomics features on test-retest scanning using a multi-centre multi-vendor dataset with a varied case-mix. Methods and Results: The sample included 54 test-retest studies from the VOLUMES resource (thevolumesresource.com). Images were segmented according to a pre-defined prot...
