BACKGROUND: Unplanned reoperation postspinal surgery (URPS) leads to prolonged hospital stays, higher costs, decreased patient satisfaction, and adversely affects postoperative rehabilitation. This study aimed to develop and validate prediction model...
BACKGROUND: ChatGPT is a natural language processing chatbot with a significant prevalence in modern media with a clear application in the medical triage workflow. ChatGPT has shown significant capacity for understanding clinical vignettes, radiology...
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a reversible cause of dementia, typically treated with shunt surgery, although outcomes vary. Artificial intelligence (AI) advancements could improve predictions of shunt response (SR) by...
OBJECTIVE: Pain is a complex sensory and emotional experience that significantly impacts individuals' well-being. Lumbar radicular pain (LRP) is a prevalent neuropathic pain affecting 9.9% to 25% of the population annually. Accurate identification of...
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning enables precise hand tracking without the need for physical sensors, allowing for unsupervised quantitative evaluation of surgical motion and tasks. We quantitatively assessed the hand motions of experienced cerebrovascular n...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterize long-term cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) trajectory in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and construct an interpretable prediction model to assess the risk of unfavorable CPP evolution patterns.
BACKGROUND: Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is the leading adverse event in transsphenoidal surgery. Intraoperative CSF (ioCSF) leakage is one of the most important predictive factors for postoperative CSF leakage. This systematic rev...
BACKGROUND: The skull base is a complex region in neurosurgery, featuring numerous foramina. Accurate identification of these foramina is imperative to avoid intraoperative complications and to facilitate educational progress in neurosurgical trainee...
Japanese neurosurgery faces challenges such as a declining number of neurosurgeons and their concentration in urban areas. Particularly in rural areas, access to neurosurgical care for patients with conditions, such as stroke, is limited, raising con...
