This study aims to provide an effective solution for the autonomous identification of dental implant brands through a deep learning-based computer diagnostic system. It also seeks to ascertain the system's potential in clinical practices and to offer a strategic framework for improving diagnosis and treatment processes in implantology. This study employed a total of 28 different deep learning models, including 18 convolutional neural network (CNN) models (VGG, ResNet, DenseNet, EfficientNet, RegNet, ConvNeXt) and 10 vision transformer models (Swin and Vision Transformer).

- The study aimed to investigate the occurrence and severity of postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions (POAs) in patients who underwent secondary laparoscopic surgeries, focusing on the role of inflammatory biomarkers like TNF-α and IL-1β in predicting these adhesions.
- A total of 103 patients with prior laparoscopic surgeries were analyzed for various inflammatory markers, revealing significant differences in age, adhesion scores, and certain biomarkers linked to the presence of adhesions.
- The findings suggest that preoperative levels of TNF-α can be used to predict the likelihood and extent of POAs, allowing for a tailored surgical approach to reduce complications in high-risk patients.
Background: Concerns about surgical site infection (SSI) give rise to practices and procedures not evidence-based.
Objectives: This study investigates whether the type of patient transfer to operating rooms plays a role in developing surgical site infection.
Methods: Three thousand four hundred and seventy-one patients were divided into two groups: transfer group with stretcher (ST) (n = 1699) and patient bed transfer group (PBT) (n = 1772).
Objective: To investigate the value of preoperative haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score in predicting tumour budding in colorectal carcinoma.
Study Design: Observational study.
Place And Duration Of Study: University of Health Sciences, Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital İstanbul/Turkey, between May 2020 and May 2021.
Zig Maneuver in Total Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair.
Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech
June 2022
Background: The difficulties in the hernia sac dissection in repairing large inguinal hernias with the endoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) technique prolong the operation and increase the risk of injury. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Zig maneuver (ligation of the hernia sac at the deep inguinal ring) in TEP in male patients with L3 inguinal hernia by European Hernia Society classification.
Materials And Methods: A total of 224 male patients with L3 inguinal hernia who underwent laparoscopic TEP surgery in 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively screened and included in the study.
