Development and validation of survival prediction tools in early and late onset colorectal cancer patients by Wanling Li, Jinshan Liu, Yuntong Lan, Dongling Yu, Bingqiang Zhang

“…These tools estimate survival probabilities for EOCRC and LOCRC patients under various treatment strategies and display the corresponding survival curves post-treatment over the 1- to 8-year period. This study successfully developed online calculators using machine learning algorithms to predict 1- to 8-year survival probabilities for EOCRC and LOCRC patients under various treatment strategies.…”

Is “Bite force” a reliable parameter to compare masticatory efficiency restoration following ORIF of anterior mandibular fractures? by Shital Patel, Kruna Bhimani, Roma Narsingyani, Zenish Bhatti, Rajan Savani

“…Interpretation &amp; conclusion: Bite force is a reliable parameter to assess restoration of masticatory efficiency following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). 3D miniplates when used in anterior mandibular fractures management are efficient enough to withstand masticatory forces throughout the healing process, providing better stability of fractured segments against torsional forces during immediate post-operative period.…”
