Machine learning to predict the early recurrence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta‑analysis.

The prediction of early recurrent of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has been widely investigated; however, the predictive value is currently insufficient. To determine the effectiveness of machine learning (ML) for the diagnosis of early recurrent intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), particularly in comparison with clinical models, the present study aimed to determine which ML model had the best diagnostic performance for inpatients with recurrent ICC. In order to search for studies which could be included, three electronic databases were screened from inception to November 2023.

Population-Specific Glucose Prediction in Diabetes Care With Transformer-Based Deep Learning on the Edge.

Leveraging continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, real-time blood glucose (BG) forecasting is essential for proactive interventions, playing a crucial role in enhancing the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, developing a model generalized to a population and subsequently embedding it within a microchip of a wearable device presents significant technical challenges. Furthermore, the domain of BG prediction in T2D remains under-explored in the literature.

[Application status of open-wedge high tibial osteotomy assisted by three-dimensional printing patient-specific cutting guides].

Objective: To review the application of three-dimensional (3D) printing patient-specific cutting guides (PSCG) in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO).

Methods: The domestic and foreign literature about the use of 3D printing PSCG to assist the OWHTO in recent years was reviewed, and the effectiveness of different types of 3D printing PSCG to assist OWHTO was summarized.

Results: Many scholars design and use different 3D printing PSCGs to confirm the precise positioning of the osteotomy site (the bone surface around the cutting line, the "H" point of the proximal tibia, the internal and external malleolus fixators, .

Does Garden type I incomplete femoral neck fracture really exist in older adults? To evaluate the stability and consistency of Garden classification.

Background: Accurate classification of femoral neck fracture (FNF) is crucial for treatment plan and therapeutic outcomes. Garden classification is commonly used in the clinic, but its stability and consistency remain controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability and consistency of Garden classification based on X and CT images, and to analyze whether it is valid for Garden I in the elderly.

The Effect of Video Game-Based Interventions on Performance and Cognitive Function in Older Adults: Bayesian Network Meta-analysis.

Background: The decline in performance of older people includes balance function, physical function, and fear of falling and depression. General cognitive function decline is described in terms of processing speed, working memory, attention, and executive functioning, and video game interventions may be effective.

Objective: This study evaluates the effect of video game interventions on performance and cognitive function in older participants in terms of 6 indicators: balance function, executive function, general cognitive function, physical function, processing speed, and fear of falling and depression.

Accuracy of CT for measuring femoral neck anteversion in children with developmental dislocation of the hip verified using 3D printing technology.

Background: Accurate femoral neck anteversion angle (FNA) measurement is of great significance in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children. The FNA measurement still remains a controversy. We aimed to verify the accuracy of our CT method by 3D printing technology and to evaluate its clinical value.

Bone cement leaking into iliac vein during artificial femoral head replacement: A case report.

Rationale: Leakage of bone cement from femoral medullary cavity is a rare complication after hip arthroplasty, and there is no report on the leaked bone cement entering into iliac vessels.

Patient Concerns: An 89-year-old woman presented with a fracture in the right femoral neck. She had well-fixed right femoral head replacement after careful preoperative examinations, and no adverse reactions appeared.

Topical application of honey in the management of chemo/radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Mucositis is an inflammatory response of mucosal epithelial cells to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. To assess the comparative efficacy of honey for patients with cancer undergoing chemo/radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Methods: A network meta-analysis was used to identify evidence from relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
