Introduction: Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Liver (PSCCL) is an exceptionally rare clinical entity characterized by diagnostic challenges, aggressive behavior, and poor prognosis. Globally, few studies have investigated PSCCL. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 76-year-old male patient with PSCCL, detailing his clinical presentation and imaging findings, to offer insights into the preoperative diagnosis of this d Read More

Aim: This research aims to develop and evaluate a novel health classification and severity detection system based on Vision Transformers (ViTs) for fetal ultrasound imagery. This contributes to improved precision in fetal health status detection and abnormalities with more accurate results than other traditional models. Background: Amidst the other imperatives of resource-deficient developing nations, mitigating neonatal mortal Read More

Background: An effective preoperative diagnosis between minute pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MPMNs) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) can provide clinicians with appropriate treatment strategies. Objective: This study aimed to differentiate MPMNs from AIS via computed tomography (CT) radiomics approaches. Methods: Clinical and imaging data from fifty-one patients diagnosed with MPMNs and 55 patie Read More

Aims: Studies specifically examining the sonographic features of juvenile fibroadenoma in the pediatric population have not been documented. We aimed to analyze sonograms of juvenile fibroadenoma in children. Subjects and Methods: Patients aged ≤ 18 years who underwent breast ultrasound examinations at our department and had pathologically proven juvenile fibroadenoma from September 2002 to January 202 Read More

Background: The neuroanatomical basis of white matter fiber tracts in gait impairments in individuals suffering from Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is unclear. Methods: Twenty-four individuals living with PD and 29 Healthy Controls (HCs) were included. For each participant, two-shell High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI) and high-resolution 3D structural images were acquired using the 3T MRI. Diffusion-weighted data Read More

Background: Early and timely detection of pulmonary nodules and initiation treatment can substantially improve the survival rate of lung carcinoma. However, current detection methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) cannot easily detect pulmonary nodules owing to low detection accuracy and the difficulty in detecting small-sized pulmonary nodules; meanwhile, more accurate CNN-based models are Read More

Background: Pneumonia is an acute respiratory infection that has emerged as the predominant catalyst for escalating mortality rates worldwide. In the pursuit of the prevention and prediction of pneumonia, this work employs the development of an advanced deep-learning model by using a federated learning framework. The deep learning models rely on the utilization of a centralized system for disease prediction on the me Read More

Background: The effects of percutaneous compression plate (PCP) internal fixation for femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in elderly individuals have rarely been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of PCCP internal fixation for displaced FNFs in elderly individuals based on imaging. Methods: The clinical data of 32 elderly patients with FNFs treated with PCCP from January 2015 to December 2022 were re Read More
