Winners of the 2021 honor awards for excellence at the annual meeting of the Chinese Medical Association-Taipei: Part I

Abstract

We congratulate all outstanding researchers who won the 2021 Outstanding Research Paper Awards at the Annual Meeting of the Chinese Medical Association-Taipei (CMA-Taipei) on July 16, 2022, held at Taipei, Taiwan. All research articles have been selected from the 2021 issues of the Journal of the Chinese Medical Association (JCMA), which is one of the most popular medical journals with the achievement of 2021 new impact factor (IF) as 3.396. The current editorial is a "Part I," which introduces five excellent works with the development of new innovations.The first winner is Dr. Liu who won the CMA-Taipei Outstanding Research Work Award for her publication, entitled "Concordance analysis of intrapartum cardiotocography between physicians and artificial intelligence-based technique using modified one-dimensional fully convolutional networks." 1 The detailed introduction has been shown before. 2 In brief, they used a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool with a combination of fully convolutional networks and deep learning to provide a chance to monitor fetal well-being (fetal heart rate) and adequate uterine contraction during labor continuously and precisely. Their attempt, although too immature, is a really big advanced step, since with the assistance of AI, an immediate, prompt, uninterrupted, and possibly cost-effective supplement may be much valuable in the crisis setting or in contexts where the traditional medical care system is out of date, or when there is a shortage of medical care providers. 2 Second, the winner of the outstanding research for gastroenterology and hepatology is Dr. Huang for his excellent work investigating the association between genetic background and the development of a relatively complicated hepatic diseasenonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). 3 It is well known that

A trend to minimize the radicality of surgery

“…1 Therefore, efforts have been made to minimize cancer-related morbidity and mortality. 2 Similar to all other chronic or acute illnesses, many strategies, such as risk identification in the general population, 3 healthy life style, and behavior, 4,5 a cost-effective screening method, 6 and an early detection 7,8 for the slowing down development and/or reducing disease-related mobility and mortality have been approved effectively, although many struggles still impede to reach the satisfactory results. All need further continuous development of advanced technology and more effective therapeutic strategies to provide a better chance to prolong the life span of diseased people and minimize therapy-related adverse events (AEs).…”

Winners of the 2021 honor awards for excellence at the annual meeting of the Chinese Medical Association-Taipei: Part II

“…In Part I, 1 we congratulated five outstanding researchers winning the 2021 Outstanding Research Paper Awards who were selected from all research articles published in 2021 issues of the Journal of the Chinese Medical Association (JCMA) which got a new achievement of 2021 impact factor (IF) as 3.396 at the Annual Meeting of the Chinese Medical Association-Taipei (CMA-Taipei) on July 16, 2022, Taipei, Taiwan. 1,2 The current editorial is a "Part II," which introduces another four excellent researchers with their academic professions to explore a brandnew vision for future patient's care.
