The authors analyzed the experience at the period from September 2000 to January 2014. The total exenterations of the small pelvis were performed on 23 patients (12 men and 11 women) at the age from 37 to 71 years old. Supralevator total exenterations with full visceral reconstruction were carried out in 13 cases out of 23. Total infralevator pelvic exenterations were used in 10 cases. There wasn't the intraoperative lethality. Patients (3 cases) died in postoperative period. Postoperative complications developed in 10 patients, though serious complications, which required an application of surgical strategy were noted only in 3 cases. The mean life span consisted of 29 months. The performance of total exenteration of the small pelvis considerably increased the life span of the patients and in case of application of reconstructive methods allowed restoration of quality of life to high level and obtaining moral, psychological and social rehabilitation.

Enhancing predictive accuracy for urinary tract infections post-pediatric pyeloplasty with explainable AI: an ensemble TabNet approach.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common pediatric condition often treated with pyeloplasty. Despite the surgical intervention, postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur in over 30% of cases within six months, adversely affecting recovery and increasing both clinical and economic burdens. Current prediction methods for postoperative UTIs rely on empirical judgment and limited clinical parameters, underscoring the need for a robust, multifactorial predictive model.

Gibbons, a type of lesser ape, are brachiators but also walk bipedally and without forelimb assistance, not only on the ground but also on tree branches. The arboreal bipedal walking strategy of the gibbons has been studied in previous studies in relation to two-dimensional (2D) kinematic analysis. However, because tree branches and the ground differ greatly in width, leading to a constrained foot contact point on the tree branches, gibbons must adjust their 3D joint motions of trunk and hindlimb on the tree branches.

We present a case of a young woman who presented with blurring of vision in her right eye, worsening on near work. Detailed ophthalmic and neurological evaluation was done, which revealed light near dissociation, vermiform iris movements, constriction to diluted pilocarpine with absent deep tendon reflexes. Laboratory investigation indicated mild iron deficiency anemia and reduced vitamin D3 level.

The differential diagnoses for patients presenting with right iliac fossa pain are broad, with appendicitis almost always on the top of the list. Although rare, diverticulosis of the appendix, complicated by inflammation, should be considered in these patients. We report a case of a middle-aged female with right iliac fossa pain with a high inflammatory marker.
