DEEP LEARNING FOR PREDICTION OF PROGRESSION AND RECURRENCE IN NONFUNCTIONING PITUITARY MACROADENOMAS: COMBINATION OF CLINICAL AND MRI FEATURES

Deep Learning for Prediction of Progression and Recurrence in Nonfunctioning Pituitary Macroadenomas: Combination of Clinical and MRI Features

ObjectivesA subset of non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFMAs) may exhibit early progression/recurrence (P/R) after tumor resection.The purpose of this study was to apply deep learning (DL) algorithms for prediction of P/R in NFMAs.MethodsFrom June 2009 to December 2019, 78 patients diagnosed with pathologically confirmed NFMAs, and who had

Parasitism and migration in southern Palaearctic populations of the painted lady butterfly, Vanessa cardui (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

The painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae) is well known for its seasonal long-distance migrations and for its dramatic population fluctuations between years.Although parasitism has occasionally been noted as an important mortality factor for this butterfly, no comprehensive study has quantified and compared

Case Report: Endovascular therapy for an iatrogenic vertebrojugular arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm induced by multiple vascular procedures

Vertebrojugular arteriovenous fistula (VJAVF) and vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm (VAPA) are usually caused by iatrogenic and penetrating traumas.The concurrence of these two entities originating from different ostia of the vertebral artery (VA) is extremely rare.The 7.14/7BC history of repeated open-heart surgery and the application of central ven

Application of the Fuzzy C-Means Method in Grouping Heart Abnormalities Based on Electrocardiogram Medical Records

Heart disease is the main cause of death which can be diagnosed using an electrocardiogram.This study aims to classify heart defects using the Fuzzy C Means technique.The advantage of using Fuzzy C Means is that it is unsupervised and can reach a convergent cluster center under certain conditions.It is a clustering model that Cajon has the value of

Laparoscopic Excision of Retroperitoneal Schwannoma

Schwannomas are tumours that arise from the myelin sheath of the nerves.A very unusual location for schwannoma is the retro peritoneal areas (less than 2%).We present herewith 7.14/7BC a patient who had a 4x5cm Schwannoma arising from the nerve root of L2 on the right side, which presented as a lump in the psoas major muscle.This was treated by tot
