Screening and Early Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Cancer and Optimization of Diagnostic Imaging Techniques: A Review and Conclusion of the Expert Panel by V. V. Breder, R. B. Alikhanov, S. S. Bagnenko, E. N. Bessonova, V. A. Isakov, N. E. Kudashkin, B. M. Medvedeva, A. V. Mishchenko, M. S. Novruzbekov, V. S.  Rudakov

“…At an AFP level of ≥ 20 ng/ml, even in the absence of changes according to ultrasound data, it is advisable to perform MRI with a hepatospecific contrast agent (gadoxetic acid) which makes it possible to detect very small focal liver lesions. If focal liver lesions of 1–2 cm are detected on ultrasound, additional imaging of the liver using MRI with a hepatospecific contrast agent gadoxetic acid helps to identify HCC at an earlier stage or high degree dysplastic nodes. …”

The impact of precompetition state on athletic performance among track and field athletes using machine learning by Yuting Zhang, Pengyu Fu, Qi Yu, Qingmei Niu, Dongfeng Nie, Xiangya Dou, Xiaoqin Zhang

“…The absolute values of blood basophils and triglycerides (TGs) in the BnP group were significantly higher than those in the BP group (P < 0.05). The positive detection rate of urinary leukocytes in the BnP group was higher than that in the BP group, and the positive detection rate of urinary occult blood and vitamin C in the BP group was higher than that in the BnP group. (2) One week before the competition, the blood lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the BP group was significantly higher than that in the BnP group (P < 0.05). …”
