Background/Objectives: Perforation of the maxillary sinus floor by dental implants is a complication that can occur during treatment in posterior sectors; however, its clinical and radiological consequences remain controversial. Therefore, this study...

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown significant promise in augmenting diagnostic capabilities across medical specialties. Recent advancements in generative AI allow for synthesis and interpretation of complex clinical data including im...

Introduction: The neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has proven to be an inexpensive and easily available inflammatory marker for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study is to evaluate a possible association between preoperative NLR...

Pediatricians play a crucial role in the early diagnosis and management of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs). The diagnosis of IMD is based on the principle of selective screening, often requiring highly specialized testing, including biochemical a...

Background: This retrospective cross-sectional study evaluated the association of the global wall thickness index (GTI), derived from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), with demographic, clinical, and imaging findings, as well as heart failure...

Background/Objectives: Breast cancer is the most prevalent neoplasm in women. Improved screening and systemic therapies have allowed more patients to choose breast-conserving surgery over mastectomy. However, preserving glandular tissue while achievi...

Background: While gravity-assisted ankle stress AP (GAASA) images have proven effective in evaluating deep deltoid ligament injuries, their efficacy in assessing syndesmosis injuries remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance...

Background: The human skull has a very complex and diverse structure, and morphological characteristics vary by population. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the cranial morphology using postmortem computed tomography (PMCT), an...

Background: The sphenoidal emissary foramen (SEF) is an inconstant foramen of the sphenoid bone that facilitates venous communication between the pterygoid venous plexus and the cavernous sinus. Understanding its prevalence and laterality is crucial...

Background/Objectives: Computerized diagnostic algorithms could achieve early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) only with available baseline serum creatinine (SCr). To tackle this weakness, we tried to construct a machine learning model for AKI...
