Machine learning algorithms as new screening approach for patients with endometriosis.

Endometriosis-a systemic and chronic condition occurring in women of childbearing age-is a highly enigmatic disease with unresolved questions. While multiple biomarkers, genomic analysis, questionnaires, and imaging techniques have been advocated as screening and triage tests for endometriosis to replace diagnostic laparoscopy, none have been implemented routinely in clinical practice. We investig...

Does single-site robotic surgery makes sense for gallbladder surgery?

BACKGROUND: Cholecystectomy is one of the most performed surgeries. Several techniques were created, generating less pain, better aesthetic results and faster return to activities. Robotic surgery through a single portal combined the advantages of single-incision surgery with the principles of conventional laparoscopy, making it a safe and feasible procedure. However, due to the high costs, this t...

Anti-Mullerian Hormone Levels in Indian Women Seeking Infertility Treatment: Are Indian Women Facing Early Ovarian Senescence?

BACKGROUND: Antimullerian hormone (AMH) is a key marker of ovarian reserve and predictor of response to fertility treatment.

Computational Models for Diagnosing and Treating Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common but poorly understood disease. Symptoms can begin early in adolescence, with menarche, and can be debilitating. Despite this...

Laparoscopy/New Technology.

Proof of concept and development of a couple-based machine learning model to stratify infertile patients with idiopathic infertility.

We aimed to develop and evaluate a machine learning model that can stratify infertile/fertile couples on the basis of their bioclinical signature help...
