Advancements in natural language processing (NLP) have led to the emergence of large language models (LLMs) as potential tools for patient consultations. This study investigates the ability of reasoning-capable models to provide diagnostic and treatm...
Maxillofacial trauma is a significant concern in emergency departments (EDs) due to its high prevalence and the complexity of its management. However, many ED physicians lack specialized training and confidence in handling these cases, leading to a h...
BACKGROUND: Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that is performed to alter the size, shape, or position of the ear by using permanent stitches. Its main purpose is to correct protruding ears, a condition known as prominauris. After the surgery, it is cru...
INTRODUCTION: Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) can be classified into 5 severity types using the Argenta scale (AS). Patients with type III or higher require referral to craniofacial surgery for management. Primary care pediatricians (PCPs) are often...
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) is constantly developing in several medical areas and has become useful to assist with treatment planning. Orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery use AI-based technology to identify and select cephalometric ...
BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) risk correlates with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, suggesting systemic inflammation is present well before AMI. Studying different types of periodontal disease (PD), extremely common in individuals at ...
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) usually requires a comprehensive examination, including clinical symptoms, radiological examinations, and blood tests. Therefore, cost-effective and noninvasive methods for the dete...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)-based computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) system to detect facial asymmetry on posteroanterior (PA) cephalograms and compare the results o...
Facial bone fractures are relatively common, with the nasal bone the most frequently fractured facial bone. Computed tomography is the gold standard for diagnosing such fractures. Most nasal bone fractures can be treated using a closed reduction. How...
