In advising the preferred therapy for the individual patient the expected results of the proposed intervention and possible side effects are the most relevant considerations. However, predicting the results of an intervention is difficult, especially when well designed randomized clinical trials (RCT's) are lacking or not conclusive. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms based on routine clinical data (real world data) can support clinical decision making, but in daily practice AI is still scarcely used. In this article one large radiotherapy facility and two health insurers describe their joint opinion on the possible role of AI based on real world data as an aid in clinical decision making when evidence from RCT's is not available. The introduction of proton radiotherapy in The Netherlands is being used as case model for AI model based clinical decision making.

Background: Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a challenging congenital cardiac lesion to surgically master. We utilize computed tomography-guided-three-dimensional (3D) modeling/printing and novel in-house software to delineate anatomical relationships providing operative insight into the surgical approach. Our intent is to highlight this and showcase our technology.

Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL) is a type of skin T-cell lymphoma with a favorable prognosis. Some patients may experience recurrence, but systemic involvement is rare. Some studies suggest that systemic progression is associated with poor prognosis.

Objective: To explore the risk factors for the reactivate of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and to construct a nomogram model to predict the risk of ROP reactivate.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 185 ROP children who underwent anti-VEGF treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to October 2023. They were randomly divided into a training set (129 cases) and a validation set (56 cases) at a ratio of 7:3.

Purpose: Clinical genetic testing is increasingly integrated in managing and diagnosing cardiac conditions and disease. It is important to identify ongoing challenges. This study aimed to better understand how genetic testing is integrated into pediatric cardiac care and identify barriers and opportunities for improvement.

Introduction: Hemorrhoidal artery embolization, also known as Emborrhoid, has emerged in recent years as a minimally invasive treatment option for patients with recurrent and unresponsive to medical therapies hemorrhoidal bleeding symptoms. We present here an overview of the profile of rectal artery embolization based on the most relevant and recent literature.
Methods: A comprehensive review of literature on Hemorrhoidal artery embolization, was conducted on PubMed-Medline.
