Background And Objectives: Electroencephalography (EEG) signals, often termed the letters of the brain, are one of the most cost-effective methods for gathering valuable information about brain activity. This study presents a new explainable feature engineering (XFE) model designed to classify EEG data for violence detection. The primary objective is to assess the classification capability of the proposed XFE model, which uses a next-generation feature extractor, and to obtain interpretable findings for EEG-based violence and stress detection.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute pancreatitis, a serious inflammation of the pancreas, can lead to high morbidity and mortality, often due to causes like gallstones, alcohol, and medications.
  • This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) and Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI) scores as tools for predicting necrotizing pancreatitis, a severe form of the condition.
  • Findings from a study of 339 patients indicated that higher CONUT scores and lower PNI scores were associated with necrotizing pancreatitis, suggesting these scores can help in early identification and potentially improve patient outcomes.

: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a life-threatening disease that requires early diagnosis and treatment. It is known that a positive culture result for SBP, which is a common reason for admission to the emergency department, is related to the severity and prognosis of the disease. However, as it is not possible to determine the culture result in the early stage of the disease, different methods are required to predict prognosis in the emergency department.

There is no consensus on whether cardiac troponins with high reliability values should be different diagnostic criteria for acute myocardial infarction in patients with and without renal dysfunction. Although it is often emphasized that the etiology of elevated troponin levels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear, elevated cardiac troponin (cTnT) levels have been associated with increased subclinical cardiac damage in these patient groups. In this study, we investigated the value of cTnT value in diagnosing acute coronary syndrome in CKD patients with high clinical suspicion of acute coronary syndrome and without acute ST segment elevation on electrocardiogram.

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious medical condition that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Early detection and treatment are essential for improving the outcome in patients with ICH. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive imaging technique that has been used to detect changes in brain tissue oxygenation and blood flow in various conditions.
