Introduction: Metaphoric signs, which refer to a resemblance to something absent, are, like pareidolia, strong cognitive tools that help us understand abstract concepts by relating them to concrete, sensory experiences, and these have not been studied in student pilots. Evaluating the characteristics of students in aviation, including sensory experiences such as stress, decision-making, and pattern recognition, is important for safe flight. This study aims to investigate the cognitive and emotional impacts of face pareidolia among pilot students by using the digital Pareidolia Test (PT).

Methods: The study involved 41 patients. Sixteen facial landmarks, including six individual and five paired points, were marked on each participant's face.
Purpose: Aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) for overall survival (OS) in the localized RCC. We also tested the feasibility of incorporating the PIV into UCLA Integrated Staging System (UISS).
Materials And Methods: Retrospectively evaluated 197 consecutive ≥pT2a radical nephrectomy patients.
