Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta.

High-energy deceleration injuries of the thoracic aorta are associated with high mortality. But among long term survivors, just 2 %-5 % of traumatic aortic injuries fail initial detection and are discovered later (Pozek et al., 2012 [1]).

Beyond the burn: An observational study of cardiovascular risk in burn survivors in the north of Iran.

Burn survivors experience profound physiological changes following injury, which may have lasting implications for cardiovascular health. This study aims to investigate the cardiovascular risk profile among burn survivors treated at a burn center in northern Iran. This observational study was conducted from 2022 to 2023 at the burn centre affiliated with Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Rasht, Iran.

Inguinal hernia: Lichtenstein VS Shouldice technique repair: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair is the most frequent operation in general surgery. The chance of a person having to undergo an inguinal hernia operation during his/her life is quite high, 27 % in men and 3 % in women. European Hernia Society guidelines state that the Lichtenstein technique (mesh-based repair) is the standard treatment of elective inguinal hernia in adults.

Evaluation of carbohydrate loading on clinical results and metabolic responses in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective: Insulin resistance is associated with a number of postoperative complication and delays recovery. Carbohydrate rich drinks given preoperatively may decrease these deleterious effects. This study evaluated the clinical effects of a preoperative carbohydrate loading in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

A Robust Deep-Learning Model for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping: A Case Study of Kurdistan Province, Iran.

We mapped landslide susceptibility in Kamyaran city of Kurdistan Province, Iran, using a robust deep-learning (DP) model based on a combination of extreme learning machine (ELM), deep belief network (DBN), back propagation (BP), and genetic algorithm (GA). A total of 118 landslide locations were recorded and divided in the training and testing datasets. We selected 25 conditioning factors, and of these, we specified the most important ones by an information gain ratio (IGR) technique.
