Computational intelligence methods, including non-linear classification algorithms, can be used in medical research and practice as a decision making tool. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of artificial models for 5–year overall survival prediction patients with cervical cancer treated by radical hysterectomy. The data set was collected from 102 FIGO stage IA2-IIB, that underwent primary surgical treatment. Twenty-three demographic, tumor-related parameters selected perioperative...

The aim of this article was to compare gene expression programming (GEP) method with three types neural networks in the prediction adverse events radical hysterectomy cervical cancer patients. One-hundred and seven patients treated by were analyzed. Each record representing a single patient consisted 10 parameters. occurrence lack perioperative complications imposed two-class classification problem. In simulations, GEP algorithm compared multilayer perceptron (MLP), radial basis function...

The World Health Organization (WHO) determines infertility as a disease of the reproductive system defined clinically by failure to achieve clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Estimates indicate that problem in world is continuing grow. aim study was compare approaches partners both sexes diagnosed with infertility. conducted among 61 couples treated for using an original questionnaire developed authors. Chi square independence test used...

We assessed the prognostic factors related to 10-year overall survival and disease-free in cervical cancer patients that underwent primary surgical protocols 1 institution.A total of 102 with uterine at FIGO stages IA2-IIB a Piver type III radical hysterectomy pelvic lymphadenectomy between 1998 2001 were included. Univariate multivariate analyses performed.Univariate analysis revealed only lymphovascular space invasion significantly affected (p = 0.04), but it had no effect on rate....

Abstract Iron overload is a relatively common clinical condition resulting from disorders such as hereditary hemochromatosis, thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and myelodysplasia that can lead to progressive fibrosis eventually cirrhosis of the liver. Therefore, it essential recognize disease process at earliest stage. Liver biopsy reference test for assessment liver fibrosis. It also allows quantifying iron concentration (LIC) in patients. However, this an invasive method with significant...

The term personalized medicine was created for oncological patients, but due to its positive clinical results it is now used in many other fields of medicine, including reproductive medicine. aim the study determine level stress and strategies coping with patients treated infertility. study—using a questionnaire developed by authors, Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10), Coping Orientation Problems Experienced Inventory (Mini-COPE)—was conducted among 456 people from infertile couples....

Parotid glands are one of the most common sites for salivary gland tumors. Conventional imaging techniques have limited usefulness in quantitative assessment parotid glands, making it difficult to differentiate between healthy tissue and tumors, as well benign malignant Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive technique that may potentially overcome these limitations. Nevertheless, due size gland, increased elastographic resolution required. This be achieved by applying shear...

The aim of the study was to evaluate level life satisfaction and health behaviors presented by patients with diagnosed infertility. This cross-sectional included 456 (235 women 221 men) from infertile couples in southeastern Poland June 2019 February 2020. Participants completed a questionnaire on sociodemographic characteristics, Health Behaviors Inventory (HBI), Satisfaction Life Scale (SWLS). average score severity for group 82.96 points. at higher declared 57.6% respondents, an 31.4%,...

Background.Endometrial cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm of female reproductive organs.A dysfunctional endometrial renin-angiotensin system (RAS) might contribute to growth and spread cancer.The RAS-related gene polymorphisms, including polymorphism insertion/ deletion (I/D) in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene, influence RAS activity.Objectives.In present study, we examined association between I/D ACE risk Polish women.Material methods.Genotype analysis was carried out...

Objectives: To evaluate magnetic resonance elastography as a tool for characterizing uterine leimyomas. Material and methods: At total of 12 women with symptomatic leiomyomas diagnosed in physical ultrasound examinations were enrolled this pilot study. Before surgery, all patients underwent the uterus using 1.5 T MR whole-body scanner (Optima, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA). Surgical specimens forwarded histological examination. The findings allocated into 3 categories depending on...

We report the case of a 32-year-old woman suffering from severe liver dysfunction in course ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Complications occurred after successful fertilization subsequent to stimulation with human menopausal gonadotropin followed by ovulation induction chorionic gonadotropin. Because nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention and enlarged ovaries on an ultrasound examination, she was admitted diagnosis OHSS. During hospitalization hepatic injury developed. An increase...

Background: Toward the goal of predicting individual long-term cancer survival to guide treatment decisions, this study evaluated ability a probabilistic neural network (PNN), an established model used for decision-making in research and clinical settings, predict 10-year overall patients with cervical who underwent primary surgical treatment. Patients Method: The input dataset was derived from 102 FIGO stage IA2-IIB treated by radical hysterectomy. We identified 4 demographic parameters, 13...

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a reliable noninvasive method for assessment of hepatic stiffness. Liver stiffness known to be affected by elevated postprandial portal blood flow in patients with chronic liver disease. The goal this study was determine whether food intake affects the absence We evaluated 100 volunteers (35 men and 65 women) who met inclusion criteria. subjects had two MRE examinations, first while fasting then 30 min after test meal. Fourteen also additional exams 1...

Introduction Infertility has been diagnosed in millions of people around the world and is described as a complex medical, mental, social problem that affects many aspects life. The aim study was to extract determining factors level self-esteem degree acceptance disease infertile patients find differences between women men this aspect. Methods A total 456 (235 221 men) from couples participated cross-sectional study. To collect data Personal Information Form (PIF), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale...

INTRODUCTION Chronic liver disease resulting in fibrosis, and ultimately cirrhosis, is a significant cause of morbidity mortality worldwide. None the conventional imaging techniques are able to detect early fibrosis compare its grade with histopathologic scale. Liver biopsy, as diagnostic standard for also has limitations not well accepted by patients. Magnetic resonance elastography well‑established technique evaluating stiffness may replace invasive procedures. Detection stages, however,...

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The coexistence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphoma (CLL/SLL) with different gynecologic neoplasms is a rare phenomenon.
