In orthopaedics, wound care is crucial as surgical site infections carry disease burden due to increased length of stay, decreased quality of life and poorer patient outcomes. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a vital role in revolutionising wound care in orthopaedics: ranging from wound assessment, early detection of complications, risk stratifying patients, and remote patient monitoring. Incorporating AI in orthopaedics has reduced dependency on manual physician assessment which is time-consuming.

The number of cancer survivors is increasing steadily due to an aging population, continuing improvement in early detection, and treatment. Comparative effectiveness studies and clinical trials are being done to assess late effects of treatment and health-related quality of life. This is in addition to long-term follow-up to assess survival.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to segment CT images using a k-means clustering algorithm and extract textural features with the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM).
  • It compared the effectiveness of machine learning classifiers (Naïve Bayes, Bagging, REPTree) to classify images as COVID or non-COVID, alongside three pre-trained CNN models (AlexNet, ResNet50, SqueezeNet).
  • The results showed that the Naïve Bayes classifier achieved a 97% accuracy, while the ResNet50 model led with 99%, indicating that deep learning networks were more effective than traditional machine learning methods for classifying COVID-19 images.

Mandibular resections decision is one of the most important steps in oral cavity malignant or nonmalignant lesions associated with the mandible. The role of mandibular reconstruction is not only for cosmesis, but it is also indicated for functional rehabilitation such as swallowing, phonetics, and for facial symmetrical. Even though the free tissue transfer is considered a gold standard for mandibular reconstruction, the importance of nonvascularized bone grafts (NVBGs) such as fibula, calvarium, rib, sternum, and iliac are still persisting in mandibulectomies condition like patient who have not taken radiotherapy or not willing to undergo radiotherapy or not fit for free tissue transfer and provides a good contour of mandibular replacement.

Unlabelled: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a cheap and powerful drug that has several uses in surgery and is well established in elective orthopaedic surgery. At present, limited small studies have looked into its role in the acute hip fracture. Transfusion in the geriatric population presents risks and increased costs to healthcare systems around the world.
