Artificial intelligence-based prediction of treatment failure and medication non-adherence in overactive bladder management by Mert Başaranoğlu, İsa Kamil Taşdemir, Erdem Akbay, Hasan Erdal Doruk

“…Key predictive factors included early changes in bladder wall thickness (OR: 3.82, 95% CI: 2.14–6.81), diabetes duration > 7 years (OR: 2.73, 95% CI: 1.58–4.72), and urgency improvement < 25% (OR: 2.94, 95% CI: 1.76–4.92). Treatment failure rates varied significantly among pathological subgroups, with highest rates in diabetic neuropathy (42.8%) and lowest in idiopathic OAB (28.6%, p = 0.024). …”

Utility of Nasal Debridement Following Pediatric Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Scoping Review by Jeeho D. Kim, Bastien A. Valencia-Sanchez, Beau Hsia, Saif A. Alshaka, Gabriel Bitar, Vijay A. Patel

“…The most common indication for FESS was chronic rhinosinusitis or recurrent sinus infections while that for SLED under general anesthesia varied from institutional practice patterns to surgeon preference. No meaningful comparison of outcomes was possible as the “success rates” of FESS with or without SLED were largely based on unvalidated questionnaires and equally subjective surgeon assessments. …”
