Breast Tomosynthesis Simulator for Virtual Clinical Trials
Breast Tomosynthesis Simulator for Virtual Clinical Trials Summary The use of computer models and simulation in predicting the clinical performance of x-ray imaging devices in silico and generating synthetic patient images for training and testing of machine learning algorithms is widely accepted today. In this study, the researchers presented a detailed description of
Renal Cell Carcinoma- Prognosis via Albumin Levels
Renal Cell Carcinoma- Prognosis via Albumin Levels Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) - An Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) constitutes approximately 90% of all urologic malignancies. Approximately 30% of patients with RCC present with metastatic disease, and amongst those with localized disease, a substantial proportion will recur. Before 2005, immunotherapy with interleukin-2
Diagnostic Error Causing Cases of Cytopenia
Diagnostic Error Causing Cases of Cytopenia Summary Many psychotropic drugs are known to cause cytopenia after increasing dosage or during the beginning of treatment. Cytopenia can also be caused by other conditions such as leukemia. These two case reports report on cases of cytopenia which happened during adjustment of psychotropic mediations in
Inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: Survival rates of Endostar, CCRT
Inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: Survival rates of Endostar, CCRT Inoperable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): An Introduction Accounting for approximately 80% of lung cancers, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common subtype. Most NSCLC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage with a mere 15-20%
Esophageal Cancer: Pembrolizumab VS Chemotherapy treatment?
Esophageal Cancer: Pembrolizumab VS Chemotherapy treatment? Esophageal cancer is cancer that occurs in the esophagus. The esophagus plays an important role in digesting food it helps in moving the food you swallow down to your stomach. Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common cancer and the sixth most common cause of cancer-related
Using Ultrasound to Analyze Malignant and Benign Orbital Space-Occupying Lesions
Using Ultrasound to Analyze Malignant and Benign Orbital Space-Occupying Lesions Most orbital space-occupying lesions come from tissues in the orbital space or metastasize from other system tumors. The bulk of clinical manifestations of these lesions such as diplopia, protrusion, and loss of vision are often nonspecific, so imaging technology is crucial
Risk Factors for Ocular Metastases in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
Myelofibrosis – Biology, Management, and Case Report of Ocular Manifestation
MF-BIOLOGY, MANAGEMENT, AND CASE REPORT OF OCULAR MANIFESTATION Myelofibrosis is an uncommon myeloproliferative neoplasm, a type of blood cancer where excess red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets are produced in the bone marrow. The rarity of this abnormality has many medical professionals struggling to understand its genetic underpinnings. This
