Article Abstract

Background: Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a rare but severe optic nerve injury resulting from periorbital trauma. Diagnosing TON is particularly challenging in unconscious patients, making early detection crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patient data from 2008 to 2020, focusing on individuals with periorbital facial bone fractures. Independent risk factors for TON were identified through multivariable logistic regression analysis on data from May 2008 to April 2019. A prediction scoring model was subsequently developed and validated with data from May 2019 to April 2020.

Results: A total of 2008 eyes with periorbital facial bone fractures were analyzed (development cohort: 1639 eyes; validation cohort: 369 eyes). Among these, 97 eyes (5.92%) in the development cohort were diagnosed with TON. The scoring model included: optic canal fracture (3 points), medial orbital wall fracture (2 points), orbital roof fracture (1 point), intracranial hemorrhage (1 point), and retrobulbar hematoma (2 points). The model demonstrated good discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]: 0.84) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P = 0.70). Validation confirmed strong performance with an AUC of 0.87.

Conclusion: The developed scoring model can aid in assessing the likelihood of TON in unconscious patients with periorbital fractures, facilitating timely and effective clinical decision-making in emergency settings.

Background: Survivors of critical illness frequently face physical, cognitive and psychological impairments after intensive care. Sensorimotor impairments potentially have a negative impact on participation. However, comprehensive understanding of sensorimotor recovery and participation in survivors of critical illness is limited.

Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is conceptualized as a dimensional phenomenon in the DSM-5, but electronic health records (EHRs) rely on binary AUD definitions according to the ICD-10. The present study classifies AUD severity levels using EHR data and tests whether increasing AUD severity levels are linked with increased comorbidity.

Methods: Billing data from two German statutory health insurance companies in Hamburg included n = 21,954 adults diagnosed with alcohol-specific conditions between 2017 and 2021.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a customized deep learning model based on CNN and U-Net for detecting and segmenting the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) of maxillary first molar teeth on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Methodology: CBCT scans of 37 patients were imported into 3D slicer software to crop and segment the canals of the mesiobuccal (MB) root of the maxillary first molar. The annotated data were divided into two groups: 80% for training and validation and 20% for testing.

Background: Current scoring systems for hypertriglyceridaemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) severity are few and lack reliability. The present work focused on screening predicting factors for HTG-SAP, then constructing and validating the visualization model of HTG-AP severity by combining relevant metabolic indexes.

Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2024, retrospective clinical information for HTG-AP inpatients from Weifang People's Hospital was examined.
