چکیده
Introduction: performing anal endosonography in complex fistula-in-ano allows us to design a personalized surgical strategy in each case, thereby improving results. However, there are doubts in the literature as to its utility in recurrent complex fistulas. The aim of this study was to compare the utility of anal ultrasonography in the study of primary versus recurrent complex fistula-inano. Patients and method: prospective study of patients diagnosed and treated for complex fistula-in-ano. Physical examination and anal ultrasonography provided data on primary track, internal opening, horseshoe extension and the presence of secondary tracks or cavities in a protocol designed specifically for the study. These assessments were subsequently contrasted with operative findings. Results: we included 35 patients, 19 (54.3%) with primary complex anal fistulas and 16 (45.7%) with recurrent fistulas. According to the operative findings, fistulas were classified as high transsphincteric in 28 patients (80%), suprasphincteric in 6 (17.1%) and extrasphincteric in one patient (2.9%), with no differences between groups. Physical examination correctly classified 28 of the 35 fistulous tracks, in contrast to the 32 (91.4%) correctly described on ultrasonography (80%). We did not find any statistically significant differences between the primary and the recurrent fistula groups with regard to sensibility, positive predictive value and accuracy of the anal ultrasonography for any of the parameters studied. Conclusion: the accuracy of anal ultrasonography does not decrease in recurrent complex fistula-in-ano.

An Approach for Prototype Generation based on Similarity Relations for Problems of Classification
In this paper, a new method for solving classification problems based on prototypes is proposed. When using similarity relations for granulation of a universe, similarity classes are generated, and a prototype is constructed for each similarity class. Experimental results show that the proposed method has higher classification accuracy and a satisfactory reduction coefficient compared to other ...
متن کاملThe interobserver and intraobserver reliability of the Fernandez classification of distal radius fracture
Abstract Background: With increasing knowledge concerning fractures of the distal radius, different classifications have been proposed. Reliability of most of these classifications has been assessed. The Fernandez classification has never been assessed for intraobserver and interobserver reliability, although this classification is commonly used. Methods: Five observers including one attending...
متن کاملA Faster Algorithm for the Perfect Phylogeny Problem when the Number of Characters is Fixed
We present an algorithm for determining whether a set of species, described by the characters they exhibit, has a perfect phylogeny, assuming the maximum number of characters is fixed. This algorithm is simpler and faster than the known algorithms when the number of characters is at least 4.
