Background and objective Bladder cancer (BC) is a common urothelial neoplasm, with non-muscle invasive forms comprising about 75% of cases and generally having better outcomes than muscle-invasive types. Accurate preoperative grading and staging of BC are essential for appropriate treatment planning. This study investigates the efficacy of computerized tomography (CT) in correlating the morphological features of tumors to predict the histopathological grades of BC.

Materials And Methods: This prospective case-control study included 126 patients with PE (lifelong PE [LPE] in 94 and acquired PE [APE] in 32) who presented to the urology outpatient clinic between April 2016 and January 2023 and 92 healthy men as a control group. The diagnosis of PE was based on the criteria defined by the International Society for Sexual Medicine.
Objectives: In this prospective cross-sectional clinical study, we aimed to determine the efficiency of preoperative hematological markers namely SIRI (systemic inflammatory response index) and SII (systemic inflammatory index) for renal cell cancer to predict the possibility of postoperative metastases.
Methods: Istanbul Education and Research Hospital, Clinic of Urology and Medical Oncology in the clinic between the dates of June 2022 to 2023 February, a diagnosis of renal cell cancer by surgical or medical oncology units imported into the treatment planning of 72 patients were included in the study. All cases with diagnoses of renal cell carcinoma were searched from hospital records.
EEG signals are interpreted, analyzed and classified by many researchers for use in brain-computer interfaces. Although there are many different EEG signal acquisition methods, one of the most interesting is motor imagery signals. Many different signal processing methods, machine learning and deep learning models have been developed for the classification of motor imagery signals.
