Method of prevention of post-operative peritoneal adhesions.

Objective: The purpose of the research was to assess the performance of the method of prevention of post-operative peritoneal adhesions (PAs) (author's method) in patients of different age groups.

Methods: Two hundred eighty-five patients were in total enrolled in the study.

Deep learning for early detection of pathological changes in X-ray bone microstructures: case of osteoarthritis.

Texture features are designed to quantitatively evaluate patterns of spatial distribution of image pixels for purposes of image analysis and interpretation. Unexplained variations in the texture patterns often lead to misinterpretation and undesirable consequences in medical image analysis. In this paper we explore the ability of machine learning (ML) methods to design a radiology test of Osteoarthritis (OA) at early stage when the number of patients' cases is small.

Multicenter assessment of ultrasound of the spermatic cord in children with acute scrotum.

Purpose: Intravaginal or extravaginal spermatic cord torsion is a diagnostic challenge for the surgeon and radiologist. Color Doppler sonography can be inaccurate, leading to dangerous false-negative results. To date, no single reliable test has been able to provide 100% diagnostic accuracy.
