ROAD2H: Development and evaluation of an open-source explainable artificial intelligence approach for managing co-morbidity and clinical guidelines.

Introduction: Clinical decision support (CDS) systems (CDSSs) that integrate clinical guidelines need to reflect real-world co-morbidity. In patient-specific clinical contexts, transparent recommendations that allow for contraindications and other conflicts arising from co-morbidity are a requirement. In this work, we develop and evaluate a non-proprietary, standards-based approach to the deployment of computable guidelines with explainable argumentation, integrated with a commercial electronic health record (EHR) system in Serbia, a middle-income country in West Balkans.

Achieving descriptive accuracy in explanations argumentation: The case of probabilistic classifiers.

The pursuit of trust in and fairness of AI systems in order to enable human-centric goals has been gathering pace of late, often supported by the use of for the outputs of these systems. Several properties of explanations have been highlighted as critical for achieving trustworthy and fair AI systems, but one that has thus far been overlooked is that of (DA), i.e.

Surgical treatment of arteriovenous malformations of the buttock.

For symptomatic buttock arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), embolization techniques and surgical resection have been suggested as treatment options. Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility and long-term results after a single surgical resection. Twelve patients had undergone surgical resection without preoperative embolization.

Hip subluxation in Italian cerebral palsy children and its determinants: a retrospective cohort study.

The study's aim was two-fold: to describe the trend of hip subluxation in the largest sample of Italian nonambulatory cerebral palsy (CP) children ever published; to investigate its determinants. This single-centre retrospective cohort study included patients with spastic or dyskinetic CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level IV or V, age 0-18 years, having been referred to our unit before March 2020. The hip subluxation was measured by means of the migration percentage (MP).

A retrospective cohort study about hip luxation in non-ambulatory cerebral palsy patients: The point of no return.

Purpose: The migration percentage is a widely used criterion for surgery in displaced hips. Literature suggests that no hip can spontaneously improve if the migration percentage exceeds 45%, in a mixed population of cerebral palsy children. The aim of the present article was to identify the point of no return of the migration percentage in a selected sample of non-ambulatory cerebral palsy children, being the most exposed to hip luxation.

Surgical treatment of vulvar venous malformations without preoperative sclerotherapy: Outcomes of 18 patients.

Background: Our aim was to evaluate the benefit of surgical resection of the venous malformations (VMs) of the external female genitalia.

Methods: Over the period of 2009-2019, 18 consecutive females underwent surgical resection for vulvar VM. Evaluations included preoperative Doppler ultrasound, MRI, and pre-and postoperative photographic imaging.

Surgical Treatment of Venous Malformations of the Knee: Treatment Outcomes for 35 Patients.

Background: The place of open surgery in venous malformations (VMs) of knee joint is still discussed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of surgery in terms of pain, function, and quality of life.

Design: This was a retrospective observational study.

Unexpected granular cell tumor in abdominal wall: case report and literature review.

Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon benign neoplasms deriving from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve fibers. Although these tumors can be found anywhere in the body, the most frequent site is the tongue, followed by the chest wall and the arm. The abdominal wall is an extremely rare site for GCTs.
