Background: This study aims to develop and validate a new classification system that better predicts combined risk of neurological and neurovascular complications following CBT surgery, crucial for treatment decision-making.
Methods: Multinational retrospective cohort study with 199 consecutive cases. A cohort of 132 CBT cases was used to develop the new classification. To undertake external validation, assessment was made between the actual complication rate and predicted risk by the model on an independent cohort (n = 67).
Results: Univariate analyses showed statistically significant associations between developing a complication and the following factors: craniocaudal dimension, volume, Shamblin classification, and Mehanna types. In the multivariate prognostic model, only Mehanna type remained as a significant risk predictor. The risk of developing complications increases with increasing Mehanna type.
Conclusions: We have developed and then validated a new classification and risk stratification system for CBTs, which demonstrated better prognostic power for the risk of developing neurovascular complications after surgery.

Background: This study evaluates the accuracy of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN), in classifying elbow fractures using the detailed 2018 AO/OTA fracture classification system.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 5,367 radiograph exams visualizing the elbow from adult patients (2002-2016) was conducted using a deep neural network. Radiographs were manually categorized according to the 2018 AO/OTA system by orthopedic surgeons.

Objectives: To estimate the association between socioeconomic background (derived from household main earner occupation when the survey respondent was aged 14 years old) and likelihood of working as a doctor in adulthood in the UK, and estimate how associations varied over time for respondents who turned 18 years old in different decades.
Design: Observational study of 10 years of pooled data from a nationally representative government survey.
Setting: The United Kingdom (UK).

Background: The H5N1 avian influenza A virus represents a serious threat to both animal and human health, with the potential to escalate into a global pandemic. Effective monitoring of social media during H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks could potentially offer critical insights to guide public health strategies. Social media platforms like Reddit, with their diverse and region-specific communities, provide a rich source of data that can reveal collective attitudes, concerns, and behavioral trends in real time.

Prodrugs with enzymatic activation requirements, such as the weakly basic biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class IV compound abiraterone acetate (ABA), face considerable bioequivalence (BE) risks owing to their pH-dependent solubility, food effects, and variable intestinal hydrolysis. This study established clinically relevant dissolution specifications for ABA using biorelevant dissolution and physiologically based biopharmaceutics modelling (PBBM). Two dissolution methods, two-stage (gastrointestinal transfer simulation) and single-phase (biorelevant media), were evaluated under fasted and fed conditions.

Introduction: Shigella is a notifiable condition in Victoria under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act. Since 24 October 2022, the South East Public Health Unit (SEPHU) has been managing these notifications for the south east region of Melbourne.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the demographics and risk factors for acquisition of shigellosis cases in the SEPHU catchment.
