INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Urosymphyseal fistula (UF) with osteomyelitis most commonly occurs as a result of prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia therapy. UF presentation typically includes debilitating pelvic pain exacerbated with ambula...
Artificial neural network (ANN) is the main tool to dig data and was inspired by the human brain and nervous system. Several studies clarified its application in medicine. However, none has applied ANN to predict the efficacy of folic acid treatment ...
Short-term reattendances to emergency departments are a key quality of care indicator. Identifying patients at increased risk of early reattendance could help reduce the number of missed critical illnesses and could reduce avoidable utilization of em...
BACKGROUND: Focal therapy (FT) for prostate cancer is less invasive than radical treatment but carries a risk of recurrence. Salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (S-RARP) is a possible option after FT failure.
BACKGROUND: The initial phases of robotic surgical skills acquisition are associated with poor technical performance, such as low knot-tensile strength (KTS). Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) can improve force and accuracy in motor task...
Neuroimaging biomarkers are valuable predictors of motor improvement after stroke, but there is a gap between published evidence and clinical usage. In this work, we aimed to investigate whether machine learning techniques, when applied to a combin...

OBJECTIVES: The disruption to surgical training and medical education caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for realistic, reliable, and engaging educational opportunities available outside of the operating theatre and accessibl...
Depression is one of the most common mental health problems in middle-aged and elderly people. The establishment of risk factor-based depression risk assessment model is conducive to early detection and early treatment of high-risk groups of depressi...
IMPORTANCE: The current understanding of epidemiological mechanisms and temporal trends in hospitalizations for worsening heart failure (WHF) is based on claims and national reporting databases. However, these data sources are inherently limited by t...
IMPORTANCE: Detecting cognitive decline earlier among older adults can facilitate enrollment in clinical trials and early interventions. Clinical notes in longitudinal electronic health records (EHRs) provide opportunities to detect cognitive decline...
