Background: Radiation-induced late fecal incontinence (LFI) is one of the most quality-of-life impairing symptoms in prostate cancer. We aimed to assess the impact of radiotherapy (RT) technique and dose-volume effects on LFI using a robust score.
Methods: We identified 409 patients who underwent curative intent using standard fractionated radiation therapy, 190 of them were finally included and analyzed.

Background: Fecal incontinence (FI) is a prevalent condition that disproportionately impacts women. Although sphincter biomechanics are well studied, the integrity of the cortico-anal motor pathway remains elusive. We evaluated the cortico-spino-anorectal pathway in women with FI against age-matched (AM-HV) and young healthy (Y-HV) volunteers.

Aim: Anorectal diseases, often requiring surgical intervention and careful post-operative wound management, pose substantial challenges in healthcare. This study presents a novel application of artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning, aimed at improving the classification and analysis of post-surgical wound images. By doing so, it seeks to enhance patient outcomes through personalized and optimized wound care strategies.

Background: Pyroptosis is inflammation-associated programmed cell death triggered by activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which plays a crucial role in acute soft tissue injury (ASTI). This study aimed to explore whether methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) can regulate NLRP3 expression through N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification to mediate endothelial cell pyroptosis and thus affect soft tissue injury.
Methods: An experimental ASTI rat model was created by inducing muscle injury through striking the rat muscle.
