    الوصف: BackgroundMachine learning (ML), is an approach to data analysis that makes the process of analytical model building automatic. The significance of ML stems from its potential to evaluate big data and achieve quicker and more accurate outcomes. ML has recently witnessed increased adoption in the medical domain. Bariatric surgery, otherwise referred to as weight loss surgery, reflects the series of procedures performed on people demonstrating obesity. This systematic scoping review aims to explore the development of ML in bariatric surgery.MethodsThe study used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-analyses for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR). A comprehensive literature search was performed of several databases including PubMed, Cochrane, and IEEE, and search engines namely Google Scholar. Eligible studies included journals published from 2016 to the current date. The PRESS checklist was used to evaluate the consistency demonstrated during the process.ResultsA total of seventeen articles qualified for inclusion in the study. Out of the included studies, sixteen concentrated on the role of ML algorithms in prediction, while one addressed ML's diagnostic capacity. Most articles (n = 15) were journal publications, whereas the rest (n = 2) were papers from conference proceedings. Most included reports were from the United States (n = 6). Most studies addressed neural networks, with convolutional neural networks as the most prevalent. Also, the data type used in most articles (n = 13) was derived from hospital databases, with very few articles (n = 4) collecting original data via observation.ConclusionsThis study indicates that ML has numerous benefits in bariatric surgery, however its current application is limited. The evidence suggests that bariatric surgeons can benefit from ML algorithms since they will facilitate the prediction and evaluation of patient outcomes. Also, ML approaches to enhance work processes by making data categorization and analysis easier. However, further large multicenter studies are required to validate results internally and externally as well as explore and address limitations of ML application in bariatric surgery.

    الوصف: Hospitals are burdened with predicting, calculating, and managing various cost-affecting parameters regarding patients and their treatments. Accuracy in cost prediction is further affected when a patient suffers from other health issues that hinder the traditional prognosis. This can lead to an unavoidable deficit in the final revenue of medical centers. This study aims to determine whether machine learning (ML) algorithms can predict cost factors based on patients undergoing colon surgery. For the forecasting, multiple predictors will be taken into the model to provide a tool that can be helpful for hospitals to manage their costs, ultimately leading to operating more cost-efficiently. This proof of principle will lay the groundwork for an efficient ML-based prediction tool based on multicenter data from a range of international centers in the subsequent phases of the study. With a mean absolute percentage error result of 18%–25.6%, our model's prediction showed decent results in forecasting the costs regarding various diagnosed factors and surgical approaches. There is an urgent need for further studies on predicting cost factors, especially for cases with anastomotic leakage, to minimize unnecessary hospital costs.

    مصطلحات موضوعية: thyroglossal duct cyst, review, Medicine

    الوصف: A thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is one of the most commonly encountered congenital anomalies of the neck. However, it is difficult to diagnose as differentiating it from other cysts like brachial cysts, lymphangiomas, epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts, and hydatid cysts, is challenging. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the literature of 47 patients—25 males (53.1%) and 21 females (44.7%)—about their TGDC to assess the clinical picture, therapy, and prognosis of the disease. Most of the patients were children under the age of ten (63.8%). All patients had a history of a painless swelling in the anterior midline of the neck that moved in response to deglutition and tongue protrusion, thus interfering with their daily activity. Post-resection recurrence was unusual, with only 3 of 47 patients (6.4%) experiencing recurrence.
