Study Design: Systematic review and meta analysis.
Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of staged versus same-day spinal fusion surgeries in Adult spinal deformity (ASD).
Background: ASD surgeries are associated with high complication rates, ranging from 10% to 40%.
Aims And Background: Carbapenem-resistant (CRAb), a major public health threat, causes severe infections in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. It resists β-lactam antibiotics through mechanisms like New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM).
Materials And Methods: In ICU patients, 69 species were isolated from 86 non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli.
Background: Depression among the elderly is a growing public health concern, especially in India. This study aimed to investigate the predictive validity of physiological, psychological, and functional health factors in classifying the level of depressive symptoms among the elderly using the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) technique.
