Objectives: Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) is the gold standard for diagnosing esophageal motility disorders, but it may be poorly tolerated and unsuccessful. We sought to evaluate a protocol for sedation and endoscopy-assisted (SEA) HRM...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most lethal cancers among women. Early detection and proper treatment reduce mortality rates. Histopathological images provide detailed information for diagnosing and staging breast cancer disease. Methods: The...

Background/Objectives: Surgical management of chronic lateral ankle instability has traditionally been performed using an open technique. Arthroscopic-assisted and all-arthroscopic techniques have gained popularity as they have achieved strong clinic...

Diabetes markedly increases susceptibility to adverse cardiovascular events, including heart failure (HF), leading to heightened morbidity and mortality rates. Elevated levels of natriuretic peptides (NPs), notably B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) an...

Introduction and objectives: Aortic valve replacement surgery (SAVR) remains a recommended indication, though its pre-surgical stratification is an ongoing challenge. Despite the widespread use of scores like the STS and EuroSCORE II, they have a num...

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a cardiac storage disease caused by the progressive extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins in the myocardium. Despite the increasing interest in this pathology, it remains an underdiagnosed condition. Non-invasive...

Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of encephalitis is a challenging problem due to the heterogeneity of clinical presentations. The objective was to determine the etiology, clinical features, laboratory parameters, radiological findings, and in-hos...

Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represent a significant challenge in oral medicine. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) shows promise for evaluating oral tiss...

Rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis is a rapidly progressive and often fatal fungal infection caused by molds of the order Mucorales, particularly affecting immunocompromised individuals. This infection is notorious for its angioinvasive properties,...

Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) is highly aggressive primary hepatic malignancy with an increasing incidence. Objective: This study aimed to develop machine learning-based radiomic clustering using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) pos...
