Introduction: Mechanical thrombectomy (MTB) is a critical procedure for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. However, the free-text format of MTB surgical records limits the formulation of effective postoperative patient management and rehabilitation plans. This study compares the efficacy of large language models (LLMs) in structuring data from these free-text MTB surgical record.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. In approximately 30%-40% of lung cancer patients, bone metastases ensues with osteolytic destruction. Worse still, intractable pain, pathological fracture, and nerve compression caused by bone metastases are currently the bottleneck of research, diagnosis, and treatment of lung cancer.

Background: The optimal treatment for some symptomatic, benign osteopathy lesions is yet to be identified.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical efficiency of cementoplasty in managing symptomatic, benign osteopathy.

Material And Methods: Between June 2006 and January 2020, we retrospectively enrolled 31 patients (10 men, 21 women; mean age = 46.

Bone metastases are highly prevalent in patients with advanced prostate cancer and breast cancer and have a serious impact on the survival time and quality of life of these patients. It has been reported that microRNAs (miRNAs) are expressed abnormally in different types of cancer and metastases. However, it remains unknown whether the underlying miRNAs are associated with prostate and breast cancer bone metastasis.

Background: The presence of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) has been demonstrated to be significantly associated with poor outcome in endometrial cancer (EC). No effective clinical tools could be used for the prediction of LVSI preoperatively in early-stage EC. A radiomics nomogram based on MRI was established to predict LVSI in patients with early-stage EC.

Background: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is an important risk factor affecting treatment strategy and prognosis for endometrial cancer (EC) patients. A radiomics nomogram was established in assisting lymphadenectomy decisions preoperatively by predicting LNM status in early-stage EC patients.

Methods: A total of 707 retrospective clinical early-stage EC patients were enrolled and randomly divided into a training cohort and a test cohort.

It is difficult to identify eligible candidates for fertility-preserving treatment (FPT) among endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC) and atypical hyperplasia (AH) patients. Therefore, new approaches for improving the accuracy of candidate selection are warranted. From December 2014 to January 2020, 236 EAC/AH patients (age <50 and premenopausal) were retrospectively reviewed and randomly divided into the primary group (n=158) and validation group 1 (n=78).

Objectives: This study aims to determine the diagnostic performance of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing the distance between the tumor and the internal os, stromal infiltration, lymph node metastasis, and parametrial invasion in patients with cervical cancer.

Methods: A systematic English-language literature search of conventional MRI in the evaluation of human cervical cancer was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases from 1995 to 2018. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and positive and negative likelihood ratios (PLR and NLR) of all studies were calculated.
