Article Synopsis
  • Augmented reality in laparoscopic liver surgery helps surgeons pinpoint tumors and vessels by overlaying them onto live images, using preoperative 3D models from imaging data.
  • The Preoperative-to-Intraoperative Laparoscopic Fusion challenge (P2ILF) at the MICCAI 2022 conference aimed to automate the detection of anatomical landmarks to improve this overlaying process, addressing time-consuming manual errors.
  • Six teams from four countries participated, focusing on deep learning for landmark segmentation and differentiable rendering for image registration, achieving varying success in segmenting 2D and 3D landmarks during the challenge.

Corneal dystrophies are phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous, often resulting in visual impairment caused by corneal opacification. We investigated the genetic cause of an autosomal dominant corneal stromal dystrophy in a pedigree with eight affected individuals in three generations. Affected individuals had diffuse central stromal opacity, with reduced visual acuity in older family members.

: The application of double-J ureteral stents in urology is widespread, but their use is often accompanied by complications and bothersome symptoms, affecting patients' quality of life (QoL). While various medications have been tested for alleviating the symptoms associated with double-J stents, consensus on their effectiveness remains elusive. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of tamsulosin, solifenacin, mirabegron, desloratadine, and combination therapy using a Romanian-adapted version of the Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire (USSQ).

Background: Frailty has been proven to be associated with mortality after orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). The aim of our study was to determine the impact of frailty on mortality in the current era using pretransplant mechanical cardiac support (MCS).

Methods: We retrospectively calculated the frailty scores of 471 patients undergoing OHT in a single institution between January 2012 and August 2022.
