A method for predicting mortality in acute mesenteric ischemia: Machine learning.

Background: This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model using machine learning (ML) to predict hospital mortality in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI).

Methods: A total of 122 patients diagnosed with AMI at Sakarya University Training and Research Hospital between January 2011 and June 2023 were included in the study. These patients were divided into a training cohort (n=97) and a validation cohort (n=25), and further categorized as survivors and non-survivors during hospitalization.

The importance of leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein-1 in acute calculus cholecystitis.

Objective: The aim of this prospective, single-center cohort study was to analyze serum leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) expression in patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) and to investigate its variation depending on symptom duration.

Patients And Methods: Participants were divided into patients with AC and a healthy control group. At the time of diagnosis, blood samples were collected, and symptom onset times were questioned.

A different way to diagnosis acute appendicitis: machine learning.

<b><br>Indroduction:</b> Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention.</br> <b><br>Aim:</b> Our aim is to predict acute appendicitis, which is the most common indication for emergency surgery, using machine learning algorithms with an easy and inexpensive method.</br> <b><br>Materials and methods:</b> Patients who were treated surgically with a prediagnosis of acute appendicitis in a single center between 2011 and 2021 were analyzed.

Comparison of treatment methods in plastron appendicitis: a tertiary center experience.

Background: It is controversial which treatment method is superior in plastron appendicitis and the research is still going on. The aim of this study is to compare treatment methods for plastron appendicitis in the adult population with our experience.

Materials And Methods: The data of 92 patients who were diagnosed with plastron appendicitis in university hospital between 2015 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.

Does primer appendagitis epiploica require surgical intervention?

Background: Although primer appendagitis epiploica (PAE) is an acute condition, there is no consensus about a standard first-choice treatment. Different non-surgical and surgical interventions for PAE are available.

Methods: In this study, a total of 39 patients who were diagnosed as PAE between 2013-2018 were evaluated retrospectively concerning recurrences of the disease, medical intervention, and the requirement of hospitalization.
