To compare short- and midterm outcomes of the first 55 patients undergoing robot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) with patients undergoing open kidney transplant (OKT) during the same period in a tertiary care hospital. Data of all end-stage renal...
The cumulative sum (CUSUM) approach has been adopted to evaluate surgical competence in various contexts. The CUSUM method comprises sequential monitoring of cumulative differences from a target level in performance quality over time, allowing the d...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted retinal vein cannulation with Ocriplasmin infusion for central retinal vein occlusion.
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the ability of feed-forward neural networks (fNNs) to predict the neurodevelopmental outcome (NDO) of very preterm neonates (VPIs) at 12 months corrected age by using biomarkers of cerebral MR proton spectroscopy (H-M...

PURPOSE: Multiparametric positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a one-stop shop for radiation therapy (RT) planning has great potential but is technically challenging. We studied the feasibility of performing multipara...
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) are commonly used techniques for treating small renal masses. Regarding renal function (RF) preservation, no superiority of one technique over the other has yet bee...
Predicting outcome in comatose patients after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation is challenging. Our primary aim was to assess the potential contribution of resting-state-functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) in predicting neurologica...

OBJECTIVE: Diagnosis and treatment of Ménière's disease remains a significant challenge because of our inability to understand what is occurring on a molecular level. MicroRNA (miRNA) perilymph profiling is a safe methodology and may serve as a "liqu...
BACKGROUND: The early life risk factors of childhood obesity among preterm infants are unclear and little is known about the influence of the feeding practices. We aimed to identify early life risk factors for childhood overweight/obesity among prete...
OBJECTIVE: Current urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnostic strategies that rely on leukocyte esterase have limited accuracy. We performed an aptamer-based proteomics pilot study to identify urine protein levels that could differentiate a culture pro...
