Enteric neuropathy and the vagus nerve: Therapeutic implications
Abstract Enteric neuropathies are characterized by abnormalities of gut innervation, which includes the enteric nervous system, inducing severe gut dysmotility among other dysfunctions. Most of the gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the vagus nerve, the efferent branches of which have close interconnections with the enteric nervous system and ...

RoMedFormer: A Rotary-Embedding Transformer Foundation Model for 3D Genito-Pelvic Structure Segmentation in MRI and CT [PDF]
Deep learning-based segmentation of genito-pelvic structures in MRI and CT is crucial for applications such as radiation therapy, surgical planning, and disease diagnosis. However, existing segmentation models often struggle with generalizability across imaging modalities, and anatomical variations.

Effectiveness of prehospital chest decompression in resolving clinical signs of tension pneumothorax
Abstract Background Thoracic injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in military trauma. Tension pneumothorax (TPX) is a critical diagnosis that can lead to rapid hemodynamic and respiratory collapse if untreated. While timely intervention is essential, prehospital TPX diagnosis is challenging and may lead to unnecessary interventions ...
