This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models to predict the occurrence of delayed hyponatremia after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenoma. We retrospectively collected clinical data on patients with pituitary adenomas treated with transsphenoidal surgery between January 2010 and December 2020. From January 2021 to December 2022, patients with pituitary adenomas were prospectively enrolled.

Article Synopsis
  • A supraorbital keyhole craniotomy (SOKC) offers a new method for accessing brain tumors and aneurysms in the front of the skull, but is not suitable for all patients due to potential complications.
  • Researchers analyzed two cases involving the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) to assist in choosing suitable patients and planning surgeries for removing meningiomas using the SOKC method.
  • Results showed both patients successfully had their tumors removed with the SOKC approach, but faced some postoperative complications, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection and customized planning to improve outcomes using AR/VR technology.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied how low sodium levels (hyponatremia) in the blood could predict complicated appendicitis in patients.
  • They found that patients with complicated appendicitis had lower sodium levels before surgery compared to those with uncomplicated cases.
  • The results showed that low sodium levels were especially more important for predicting complications in kids than in adults.
