The mediating role of family adaptability in the relationship between insecure attachment and family functioning in patients with major depression disorder: a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Depression ranks as the second leading cause of the global health burden; therefore, identification of its risk and influencing factors is essential to develop more effective multidimensional interventions.

Robot assisted appendiceal interposition plus Boari flap for long-segment right ureteral stricture: initial experience.

We report a surgical technique combining an appendiceal interposition with a Boari flap for the long right ureteral strictures. The major surgical procedures include dissection of the ureter, resection of the stricture lesion and the fibrous scar, performing a psoas hitch and assessment, preparing tubular appendix, and anastomosing the ureteral stump to the apex of the appendix, formation of the bladder flap, and anastomosing the base of the appendix to the bladder flap. At the last follow-up, the patient has recovered well with no complication.

Non-contrast cine magnetic resonance urography in evaluating and monitoring of primary obstructive megaureter: a case series study.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of cine magnetic resonance urography (MRU) as a novel examination for primary obstructive megaureter (POM).

Material And Methods: The study was conducted on 44 patients with POM who underwent cine MRU from May 2020 to October 2022. Referring to the international system of vesicoureteral reflux, patients were divided into the low-risk (grade I-IV) and the high-risk (grade V) groups.

Integration of radiomic and deep features to reliably differentiate benign renal lesions from renal cell carcinoma.

Purpose: Accurate differentiation of benign renal lesions from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is crucial for optimized management, particularly for small renal lesions (≤4 cm in diameter). This study aimed to integrate clinical data, radiomic features, and deep features to improve diagnostic performance in distinguishing benign renal lesions from RCC.

Methods: In this retrospective study, radiomic and deep scores were constructed using the AutoGluon-Tabular classifier based on radiomic and deep features extracted from the whole region of CT imaging.
