Ultrasound-based machine learning model to predict the risk of endometrial cancer among postmenopausal women.

Background: Current ultrasound-based screening for endometrial cancer (EC) primarily relies on endometrial thickness (ET) and morphological evaluation, which suffer from low specificity and high interobserver variability. This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diagnostic model to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce variability.

Methods: A total of 1,861 consecutive postmenopausal women were enrolled from two centers between April 2021 and April 2024.

Butorphanol prevents morphine-induced pruritus without increasing pain and other side effects: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Purpose: Pruritus is a frequent adverse event after administration of morphine. Butorphanol has been used to prevent morphine-induced pruritus, but its efficacy is still controversial. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of using butorphanol to prevent morphine-induced pruritus.

Meta analysis of propranolol effects on gastrointestinal hemorrhage in cirrhotic patients.

Aim: To assess the effects of propranolol as compared with placebo on gastrointestinal hemorrhage and total mortality in cirrhotic patients by using meta analysis of 20 published randomized clinical trials.

Methods: A meta analysis of published randomized clinical trials was designed. Published articles were selected for study based on a computerized MEDLINE and a manual search of the bibliographies of relevant articles.
