Performance and clinical applicability of machine learning in liver computed tomography imaging: a systematic review.

Objectives: Machine learning (ML) for medical imaging is emerging for several organs and image modalities. Our objectives were to provide clinicians with an overview of this field by answering the following questions: (1) How is ML applied in liver computed tomography (CT) imaging? (2) How well do ML systems perform in liver CT imaging? (3) What are the clinical applications of ML in liver CT imaging?

Methods: A systematic review was carried out according to the guidelines from the PRISMA-P statement. The search string focused on studies containing content relating to artificial intelligence, liver, and computed tomography.

Group-based multimodal physical therapy in women with chronic pelvic pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Chronic pelvic pain in women is a complex condition, and physical therapy is recommended as part of a broader treatment approach. The objective of this study was to compare structured group-based multimodal physical therapy in a hospital setting (intervention group) with primary-care physical therapy (comparator group) for women with chronic pelvic pain.

Material And Methods: Women aged 20-65 years with pelvic pain ≥6 months and referred for physical therapy were eligible.

Telemedicine in postoperative follow-up of STOMa PAtients: a randomized clinical trial (the STOMPA trial).

Background: A stoma has severe impact on the patient's quality of life (QoL). Postoperative home community follow-up by teleconsultation (TC) and stoma nurses may reduce the burden of travel and improve QoL.

Methods: A university hospital and five district medical centres participated.

Using anchors from free text in electronic health records to diagnose postoperative delirium.

Objectives: Postoperative delirium is a common complication after major surgery among the elderly. Despite its potentially serious consequences, the complication often goes undetected and undiagnosed. In order to provide diagnosis support one could potentially exploit the information hidden in free text documents from electronic health records using data-driven clinical decision support tools.

Sacral neuromodulation for combined faecal and urinary incontinence following obstetric anal sphincter injury.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in the treatment of faecal incontinence and concomitant urinary incontinence in women with a history of obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASIS).

Method: In this prospective study, consecutive women with faecal incontinence following OASIS accepted for SNM were screened for concomitant urinary incontinence. The primary outcome was the change in urinary incontinence score on the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence, Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF), between baseline and 12 months.
