Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques have demonstrated significant potential in the development of effective intrusion detection systems. This study presents a systematic review of the utilization of ML, DL, optimization algorithms, and datasets in intrusion detection research from 2018 to 2023. We devised a comprehensive search strategy to identify relevant studies from scientific databases. After screening 393 papers meeting the inclusion criteria, we extracted and analyzed key information using bibliometric analysis techniques. The findings reveal increasing publication trends in this research domain and identify frequently used algorithms, with convolutional neural networks, support vector machines, decision trees, and genetic algorithms emerging as the top methods. The review also discusses the challenges and limitations of current techniques, providing a structured synthesis of the state-of-the-art to guide future intrusion detection research.

porocarcinoma is a rare sort of skin cancer developing from sweat glands. Its clinical course and management are not well understood.

Objective The incidence of thyroglossal duct diseases in the general population is about 7%. We aimed to demonstrate the clinical presentations and management of thyroglossal duct diseases.Methods We conducted a retrospective review of all patients who underwent surgery for histopathologically confirmed thyroglossal duct cyst, sinus, or fistula at a single center.Results A total of 151 cases were included in this study. There were more female patients (87, 58%) than male patients (64, 42%). The patients’ ages ranged from 1 to 63 years old. The most prevalent complaint was painless upper midline neck swelling (93.3%). Most cases were diagnosed as thyroglossal duct cysts (137, 90.7%). Six cases (4%) were associated with carcinoma. All the cases were managed using the modified Sistrunk procedure. There were no procedure-related complications, and five cases of recurrence.Conclusions Although thyroglossal duct cyst is the most common neck anomaly in children, it may also present with various characteristics later in life. This condition can be managed successfully without complications and with a low recurrence rate.

Objective This study was performed to report and analyze the prevalence of permanent facial nerve paralysis following parotidectomy for various benign and malignant lesions in a single center.Methods This single-center retrospective study included all patients who underwent parotidectomy (total and superficial) for benign and malignant tumors and chronic inflammatory diseases during a 6-year period. Patients who had previously undergone an operation of the parotid gland and those with preoperative facial weakness were excluded.Results The study included 127 patients ranging in age from 14 to 83 years (median, 45.89 years). Most patients were female (n = 83, 65.4%). The most prevalent procedure was superficial parotidectomy (n = 117, 92.1%), followed by total parotidectomy (n = 6, 4.7%). The average operative duration was 138 minutes (range, 80–400 minutes). Histopathology revealed that 109 (85.8%) patients had benign tumors, 14 (11.0%) had malignant tumors, and 4 (3.1%) had chronic sialadenitis. Only two patients sustained an injury to the cervical branch of the facial nerve.Conclusion In this single-center experience of parotid surgery, the rates of transient and permanent facial paralysis were acceptably low at 9.0% and 1.6%, respectively, for all pathologies.
