AIM: We investigated the prognostic value of preoperative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in non-cardiac surgery in elderly patients who showed normal left ventricular function on preoperative echocardiography.
OBJECTIVE: Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) carries a high mortality rate, even with prompt transfer to a medical center. An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model that improves predictive ability through pattern recognitio...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to elucidate factors contributing to early recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) from the perspective of urethral and vesical anatomical features after...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy has become a widespread technique despite a lack of randomised trials showing its superiority over open radical prostatectomy.
BACKGROUND: Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems could assist endoscopists in detecting early neoplasia in Barrett's oesophagus, which could be difficult to detect in endoscopic images. The aim of this study was to develop, test, and benchmark a C...
