Efficacy of Combination Therapy with Osimertinib and Afatinib in epidermal growth factor receptor-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer Patients
Abstract: Treatment options for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who have epidermal growth factor receptor mutations are constrained by the emergence of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Osimertinib or afatinib alone, when tested in a laboratory model, led to the formation of drug-resistant clones harboring epidermal growth factor receptor secondary mutations. However, combining these drugs prevented the emergence of such mutations. In a Phase II clinical trial, …

Development of a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Based Model Aimed at Forecasting the Prognostic Impact of C-Reactive Protein in Myocarditis
Abstract: The specific role of inflammation markers in myocarditis remains uncertain. We investigated the diagnostic and prognostic significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at the initial diagnosis among myocarditis patients. Our retrospective study enrolled patients clinically suspected (CS) or biopsy-proven (BP) with myocarditis, with available CRP data at diagnosis. We collected patient information, including clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings at diagnosis and follow-up visits. We utilized machine learning methods, specifically random …
