Background: Dental disorders are one of the most important health problems, affecting billions of people all over the world. Early diagnosis is important for effective treatment planning. Precise dental disease segmentation requires reliable tooth numbering, which may be prone to errors if performed manually.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 196 aSAH patients treated between 2013 and 2020 was conducted. Variables included age, sex, initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grades, Fisher's grades, rebleeding, hydrocephalus, and preoperative-postoperative neurological status.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and worse outcomes in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on identifying risk factors for new-onset AKI among septic patients who initially had no kidney issues.
- Conducted at Gazi University Hospital, the research involved analyzing data from septic patients aged 18 and older, looking at demographics and clinical factors to determine predictors of AKI development and mortality rates.
- Results showed a significant incidence of new-onset AKI (36%), particularly linked to factors like invasive mechanical ventilation, new-onset shock, and higher APACHE-II scores, all of which correlated with longer ICU stays and increased mortality risk.*
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between procalcitonin (PCT) kinetic and estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) in critically ill patients who had Gram-negative primary bloodstream infection (GN-BSI) and responded to the antimicrobial therapy.
Materials And Methods: This single-centered study was retrospective and observational. Critically ill GN-BSI patients over 18 years old who had clinical and microbiological responses to antibiotic treatment were included in the study.
Background: The coexistence of sepsis and hematological malignancies increases patient vulnerability, revealing the need for precise prognostic markers. This study explores the prognostic significance of lactate levels and clearance in septic patients with hematological malignancies.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study from January 2016 to December 2019 in a tertiary hematological intensive care unit (ICU) included 167 adults with hematological malignancies and sepsis.
