Risk factors for misclassification in predicting EGFR mutation status using PET/CT imaging in non-small cell lung cancer patients

ObjectiveThis study aims to develop 10 machine learning models based on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) radiomic features to predic Introduction Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting...

Evaluation of eGFR Equations Highlights Need for Accurate Kidney Function Assessment in Chinese Children

Evaluation of eGFR Equations Highlights Need for Accurate Kidney Function Assessment in Chinese Children A recent evaluation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations in Chinese children highlights the importance of accurate kidney function assessment in pediatric nephrology. The study...

Keller/eGFR ratio as a simple and useful tool to make a first differentiation between renal aging and chronic nephropathy in large populations

AbstractBackground Chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence increases with age, but distinguishing physiological renal ageing from pathological CKD remains a major diagnostic challenge. Current CKD definitions based solely on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) often lead to overdiagnosis in elderly individuals...

N-phenylquinazolin-4-amine-based EGFR TKIs suppress pulmonary fibrosis by modulating the EGFR/ERBB3 axis in epithelial–macrophage interaction

Although EGFR signaling plays a key role in pulmonary fibrosis (PF), its therapeutic targeting remains limited. This study evaluates N-phenylquinazolin-4-amine-based EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in murine models of bleomycin- and radiation-induced PF. These TKIs attenuated fibrosis by modulating the...
