The Impact of New Surgical Techniques on Geographical Unwarranted Variation: The Case of Benign Hysterectomy.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Since the 1980s, the international literature has reported variations for healthcare services, especially for elective ones. Variations are positive if they reflect patient preferences, while if they do not, they are unwarranted, and thus avoidable. ...

Detecting neonatal acute bilirubin encephalopathy based on T1-weighted MRI images and learning-based approaches.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a common clinical condition that requires medical attention in newborns, which may develop into acute bilirubin encephalopathy with a significant risk of long-term neurological deficits. The current clinical...

Machine Learning Strategies When Transitioning between Biological Assays.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Machine learning is widely used in drug development to predict activity in biological assays based on chemical structure. However, the process of transitioning from one experimental setup to another for the same biological endpoint has not been exten...

Machine learning-based analysis of operator pupillary response to assess cognitive workload in clinical ultrasound imaging.

Computers in biology and medicine
INTRODUCTION: Pupillometry, the measurement of eye pupil diameter, is a well-established and objective modality correlated with cognitive workload. In this paper, we analyse the pupillary response of ultrasound imaging operators to assess their cogni...

Laparotomic versus robotic surgery in elderly patients with endometrial cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics
BACKGROUND: Although robotics has been shown to improve outcomes in some high-difficulty surgical category patients, it is unclear if such an approach may improve outcomes in elderly patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).

A Nomogram Based on a Collagen Feature Support Vector Machine for Predicting the Treatment Response to Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy in Rectal Cancer Patients.

Annals of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: The relationship between collagen features (CFs) in the tumor microenvironment and the treatment response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is still unknown. This study aimed to develop and validate a perdition model based on the CF...

Diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy by deep learning analysis of en face images of choroidal vasculature: A pilot study.

PloS one
PURPOSE: To diagnose central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) by deep learning (DL) analyses of en face images of the choroidal vasculature obtained by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to analyze the regions of interest for the DL from heatmaps.

Initial experience of Chinese surgical robot "Micro Hand S″-assisted versus open and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer: Short-term outcomes in a single center.

Asian journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: A Chinese surgical robot, Micro Hand S, was introduced for clinical use as a novel robotic platform. This study aimed to comprehensively compare the early experience of the Micro Hand S robot-assisted total mesorectal excision (TME) with ...
