Interrater agreement and reliability of the Bosniak classification for cystic renal masses version 2019.

Background: The Bosniak classification for cystic renal masses has undergone refinements since its inception. The 2019 version provides more objective criteria to enhance interrater agreement but needs validation. This study compares the interrater agreement of the 2005 and 2019 Bosniak classifications for cystic renal masses.

The current status of health care indices and functional independence among older adults: data from HelpAge international-jordan study.

Background: Health services should anticipate the changing pattern of illnesses associated with population aging to promote healthy aging.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate health indices and chronic illnesses and their relationship with functional independence in community Syrian refugees & Jordanian elderly.

Methods: A stratified sample of 1,718 community older adults aged ≥ 60-year-old from four major Jordanian governorates was interviewed in this cross-sectional study.

THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY OF MENTAL DISORDERS: AN ANALYSIS OF PRACTICAL APPROACHES.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is an important psychological aspect that has a significant impact on the diagnosis and psychotherapy of mental disorders. It includes the ability to effectively recognise, understand, and regulate one's own emotions, as well as the ability to perceive and interact with the emotions of others. The purpose of the study was to assess and compare the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in different methods of diagnosing and treating mental disorders, as well as its impact on therapy outcomes.

Use of the flat panel detector fluoroscope reduces radiation exposure during periacetabular osteotomy.

The Periacetabular Osteotomy is a technically demanding procedure that requires precise intraoperative evaluation of pelvic anatomy. Fluoroscopic images pose a radiation risk to operating room staff, scrubbed personnel, and the patient. Most commonly, a Standard Fluoroscope with an Image Intensifier is used.

Impact of pulsed field ablation on intraluminal esophageal temperature.

Introduction: Atrio-esophageal fistula after esophageal thermal injury (ETI) is one of the most devastating complications of available energy sources for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) uses electroporation as a new energy source for catheter ablation with promising periprocedural safety advantages over existing methods due to its unique myocardial tissue sensitivity. In preclinical animal studies, a dose-dependent esophageal temperature rise has been reported.
