Early functional and operative outcomes of three open surgical approaches compared with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning in Gartland type III pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures

Supracondylar humerus fractures (SHFs) are commonly treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP); however, open reduction is required in selected cases. To compare early functional and operative outcomes of anterior, lateral, and posterior open reduction techniqu...

Treatment-specific prediction of stone-free outcomes after SWL and RIRS using machine learning

Predicting treatment success after shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) remains challenging. We aim to develop and validate treatment-specific machine learning models for predicting short-term stone-free outcomes following shock wave lithotripsy (...

The will to live is a key motivational resource related to meaning, adaptation, and well-being. Most previous research has focused on older adults in Western countries, with limited evidence in younger populations and non-Western contexts. This study examined the relationships be...

Association of metformin exposure with oncological outcomes in BCG-treated non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a three-arm retrospective cohort study

To evaluate the association between metformin exposure and oncological outcomes in bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG)-treated non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) using a three-arm cohort design. Because all metformin-exposed patients were diabetic, the study was not designed t...
