Association of CYP11A1 Polymorphisms with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss in the Female Population of Punjab.

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as the failure of two or more clinically recognised pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. The prevalence of clinically evident RPL is 1%-2% worldwide. The aetiologies of RPL include uterine anatomic anomalies, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, untreated hypothyroidism, parental chromosomal abnormalities, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, thrombophilia, genetic abnormalities and infections.

Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography compared with magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosing disc displacement of the temporomandibular joint: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: Diagnosing temporomandibular disorders without an adjunctive chairside diagnostic tool has made the management of temporomandibular disorders challenging and subjective. The use of magnetic resonance imaging, considered the standard imaging modality, is hindered because of high cost, a long learning curve, availability, and a longer examination time.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine whether ultrasonography could be a chairside tool to help clinicians diagnose disc displacement in temporomandibular disorders.

Evaluation of 30-day morbidity and mortality of laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a multicenter prospective observational Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (IAGES) Study.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard of care for benign gallstone disease. There are no robust Indian data on the 30-day morbidity and mortality of this procedure. A prospective multicentre observational study was conducted by the Indian Association of Gastro-Intestinal Endo Surgeons (IAGES) to assess the 30-day morbidity and mortality of LC in India.

A Novel Hybrid Deep Learning Approach for Skin Lesion Segmentation and Classification.

Skin cancer is one of the most common diseases that can be initially detected by visual observation and further with the help of dermoscopic analysis and other tests. As at an initial stage, visual observation gives the opportunity of utilizing artificial intelligence to intercept the different skin images, so several skin lesion classification methods using deep learning based on convolution neural network (CNN) and annotated skin photos exhibit improved results. In this respect, the paper presents a reliable approach for diagnosing skin cancer utilizing dermoscopy images in order to improve health care professionals' visual perception and diagnostic abilities to discriminate benign from malignant lesions.

Utility of Tokyo guidelines and intraoperative safety steps in improving the outcome of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in complex acute calculus cholecystitis: a prospective study.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in complicated acute calculus cholecystitis (ACC) poses multiple challenges. This prospective, observational study assessed the utility and safety of a set protocol and intraoperative steps in LC for complex ACC.

Methods: All cases of ACC from 2008 to 2018 were graded as per Tokyo guidelines; moderate and severe ACC were termed as 'complex ACC (CACC).
