Much research has been conducted to apply data augmentation techniques (DA), i.e., transformations a given training set produce more synthetically. While DA is often used in computer vision and speech recognition, it not very common Natural Language Processing, especially the Named Entity Recognition (NER) task, identifying named entities. To best of our knowledge, also applied NER on challenging Code-Switching (CS) data, which text containing than one language same sentence. This paper...

Incisional hernia (IH) is a frequent complication following abdominal surgery. The development of IH could be more sophisticated than simple anatomical failure the wall. Reported incidence varies among studies. This review presented an overview definitions, molecular basis, risk factors, incidence, clinical presentation, surgical techniques, postoperative care, cost, prediction tools, and proposed preventative measures. A literature search PubMed was conducted to include high-quality studies...
Introduction Ankle fractures are common injuries in orthopaedic practice. Open reduction with internal fixation is the main line of management displaced ankle fit patients. The study aims to analyse complications, re-operation rate and cost difference between one-third tubular locking plates which most frequently used constructs lateral malleolus fractures.

Introduction Incisional hernia (IH) is a common complication after open and minimal access abdominal surgery. The current practice guidelines recommend weight reduction to achieve body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m2 before surgical repair of ventral hernias. However, this could be challenging achieve, especially in emergency presentations. This study aims assess the safety IH patients with BMI ≥35 kg/m2. Methods A retrospective comparative has been conducted include all who had on an elective...

Patients were divided into three groups according their preoperative BMI - Group I (BMI<50 kg/m2), II (BMI 50–60 III (BMI>60 kg/m2). effect on 30-day morbidity mortality,...
Abstract Background There is little available data on common general surgical never events (NEs). Lack of this information may have affected our attempts to reduce the incidence these potentially serious clinical incidents. Objectives The purpose study was identify NEs from held by National Health Service (NHS) England. Methods We analysed NHS England NE April 2012 February 2020 NEs. Results a total 797 identified under three main categories such as wrong-site surgery (n = 427; 53.58%),...
