Harnessing machine learning in diagnosing complex hoarseness cases.

Purpose: Traditional vocal fold pathology recognition typically requires expertise of laryngologists and advanced instruments, primarily through direct visualization. This study aims to augment this conventional paradigm by introducing a parallel diagnostic procedure. Our objective is to harness a machine-learning algorithm designed to discern intricate patterns within patients' voice recordings to distinguish not only between healthy and hoarse voices but also among various specific disorders.

Using Virtual Reality for Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap Preoperative Planning.

Unlabelled: This study was designed to compare VR stereoscopical three-dimensional (3D) imaging with two-dimensional computed tomography angiography (CTA) images for evaluating the abdominal vascular anatomy before autologous breast reconstruction.

Methods: This prospective case series feasibility study was conducted in two tertiary medical centers. Participants were women slated to undergo free transverse rectus abdominis muscle, unilateral or bilateral deep inferior epigastric perforator flap immediate breast reconstruction.

Treatment Algorithm for Hyaluronic Acid-Related Complication Based on a Systematic Review of Case Reports, Case Series, and Clinical Experience.

Study Design: Systematic review of hyaluronic acid (HA)-related complications.

Objective: To systematically review all available literature including case reports and case series to identify a pattern for the management of vascular compromise resulting in facial skin ischemia and ocular manifestations following HA injection.

Methods: This review was based on a systematic search of 3 electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus for all available literature including case series and case reports from database inception to July 2019.

[DIRECT TO IMPLANT IMMEDIATE BREAST RECONSTRUCTION USING THE FASCIAL SYSTEM IN THE INFRAMAMMARY FOLD, WITHOUT THE USE OF ACELLULAR DERMAL MATRIX].

Aims: We present our experience of direct to implant breast reconstruction with total musculofascial coverage, without the use of ADM.

Background: The prevalence of one-stage breast reconstruction with silicone implants has increased markedly in recent years. This is attributed to advances in the surgical technique of mastectomy and to the increased rate of preventive mastectomy.

Trends and risk factors for mortality in elderly burns patients: A retrospective review.

Introduction: The elderly experience higher mortality rates and poorer outcomes compared to younger burn survivors with similar injuries.

Methods: This epidemiological study reviewed records of all admitted elderly burn patients collected from five burns facilities in Israel between 1997-2016. Collected data was limited to the population aged 20+, focused on the population aged 60+.
