Estimating body weight in Sujiang pigs using artificial neural network, nearest neighbor, and CART algorithms: a comparative study using morphological measurements.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate different machine learning algorithms for predicting body weight (BW) in Sujiang pigs using the following morphological traits: age, body length (BL), backfat thickness (BFT), chest circumference (CC), body height (BH), chest width (CW), and hip width (HW). Additionally, this study also investigated which machine learning algorithms could accurately and efficiently predict body weight in pigs using a limited set of morphological traits. For this purpose, morphological measurements of 365 mature (180 ± 5 days) Sujiang pigs from the Jiangsu Sujiang Pig Breeding Farm in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, China were used.

The Future of Surgical Diagnostics: Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Detection of Ganglion Cells for Hirschsprung Disease.

Hirschsprung disease, a congenital disease characterized by the absence of ganglion cells, presents significant surgical challenges. Addressing a critical gap in intraoperative diagnostics, we introduce transformative artificial intelligence approach that significantly enhances the detection of ganglion cells in frozen sections. The data set comprises 366 frozen and 302 formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides obtained from 164 patients from 3 centers.

Emergency department triaging using ChatGPT based on emergency severity index principles: a cross-sectional study.

Erroneous and delayed triage in an increasingly crowded emergency department (ED). ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI and is being trained for use in natural language processing tasks. Our study aims to determine the accuracy of patient triage using ChatGPT according to the emergency severity index (ESI) for triage in EDs.

Can deciphering the growth of Meckel's diverticulum help us to decide the resection technique?

Introduction: The employment of laparoscopic surgical techniques has reignited the debate on managing Meckel's Diverticulum (MD) due to its low complication rates. Nevertheless, concerns have been raised regarding completely removing any potential heterotopic mucosa. Our study aimed to compare surgical approaches in MD and assess the effectiveness of simple diverticulectomy.

Microbial Diversity of Periprosthetic Joint Infections in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients Following Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major complication following hip arthroplasty, leading to prolonged hospital stays, increased health care costs, and major morbidity. Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent comorbidity among hip arthroplasty patients, contributing to an increased risk of surgical complications, including infections. However, limited evidence exists regarding the microbial profiles of PJIs in diabetic patients compared to nondiabetic counterparts.
