The purpose of this research was to investigate the differences in the effect of hysterectomy on body image, self-esteem, and marital adjustment in Turkish women with gynecologic cancer based on specific independent variables, including age, education, employment, having or not having children, and income. This cross-sectional study compared a group of women who underwent a hysterectomy (n = 100) with a healthy control group (n = 100). The study findings indicate that women who had a hysterectomy were found in worse conditions in terms of body image, self-esteem, and dyadic adjustment compared to healthy women. In terms of dyadic adjustment and body image among women who had undergone a hysterectomy, those with lower levels of income and education were found in poorer conditions. The study's findings show that hysterectomies have negative effects on body image, self-esteem, and dyadic adjustment in women affected by gynecologic cancer. Nursing assessment of self-esteem and marital adjustment indicators and implementation of strategies to increase self-confidence and self-esteem are needed for high-risk women.

Despite advances in precision oncology, clinical decision-making still relies on limited variables and expert knowledge. To address this limitation, we combined multimodal real-world data and explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) to introduce AI-derived (AID) markers for clinical decision support. We used xAI to decode the outcome of 15,726 patients across 38 solid cancer entities based on 350 markers, including clinical records, image-derived body compositions, and mutational tumor profiles.

Background: Metasurface coils (MCs) are a promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. Aiming to evaluate the image quality of MCs for knee and elbow imaging, we compared signal-to-noise ratio (SNRs) obtained in standard clinical setups.
Methods: Knee and elbow MRI routine sequences were applied at 1.
Interest in positive body image stems from its contrast with negative body image. Research shows self-compassion and physical activity enhance body appreciation and positive well-being, yet their interaction in young adults is not well understood. This study examined connections between self-compassion, planned physical activity and intrinsic exercise motivations in 386 adults aged 18-39 ( = 27.

The present study explored how patterns of sociocultural appearance pressures were linked to positive and negative facets of body image and eating behaviors in an adolescent sample (N = 438). Latent profile analyses indicated three distinct subgroups of perceived sociocultural appearance-related pressures: a Generalized-Pressure profile (28.8%) (moderate pressure from mother, father, and peers, and relatively high pressure from the media), a High-Media-Pressure profile (38.

Background: Indications for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and reduction of complications require evaluation of the plaque properties and location of the distal end of the plaque. High cervical location can be predicted from the anatomy of the vertebral body and mandibular bones, and the locations of the posterior belly of the digastric muscle and stylohyoid muscle. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging without contrast medium is useful for preoperative evaluation of the plaque, arteries, and bone characterization.
