Background Due to conflicting findings in the literature, there are concerns about a lack of objectivity in grading knee osteoarthritis (KOA) on radiographs. Purpose To examine how artificial intelligence (AI) assistance affects the performance and interobserver agreement of radiologists and orthopedists of various experience levels when evaluating KOA on radiographs according to the established Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system. Materials and Methods In this retrospective observer performance study, consecutive standing knee radiographs from patients with suspected KOA were collected from three participating European centers between April 2019 and May 2022.

- The study explored differences between men and women with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), focusing on factors like abdominal fat, muscle density, tumor characteristics, and survival rates.
- It included 470 patients who underwent nephrectomy from 2006 to 2019 and found that women had more subcutaneous fat, while men had more visceral fat and higher muscle density.
- Results indicated that higher psoas muscle index linked to lower tumor grades and better survival, especially in men, while abdominal fat did not significantly impact tumor characteristics or outcomes.
