Life-threatening urosepsis because of ureteral entrapment within a large inguinal hernia Open
Ureteral hernias are an uncommon entity that are usually incidentally discovered during inguinal hernia repair. However, when symptomatic, they could cause severe symptoms from the urinary system and even affect renal function. We aim to r…

A Machine Learning Model for the prediction of the progression of carotid arterial stenoses Open
Atherosclerotic carotid plaque development results in a steady narrowing of the artery lumen, which may eventually trigger catastrophic plaque rupture leading to thromboembolism and stroke. The primary cause of ischemic stroke in the EU is…
