Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of single arterial cannulation (SAC) versus double arterial cannulation (DAC) during repairs for acute type A aortic dissection, focusing on patient outcomes such as hospital stay and complications.
- A systematic review of 7 studies involving 3,534 patients revealed that DAC led to longer stays in intensive care but did not significantly affect overall length of hospital stay or rates of stroke, paraplegia, or acute kidney injury compared to SAC.
- The findings suggest that while DAC could be associated with higher risks of complications like need for dialysis or reintubation, overall clinical outcomes remain comparable, underscoring the importance of individualized cannulation strategies for patients.*
Article Synopsis
- Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have improved medical image analysis, specifically for classifying breast lesions in ultrasound images, but explaining their decisions is still a challenge.
- This paper introduces a framework that uses saliency maps to connect DCNN classification decisions to known cancer characteristics, creating more trust in the models for healthcare use.
- The framework involves building DCNN models, generating visualizations with EGrad-CAM and Ablation-CAM, and mapping the results to traits like echogenicity and shape, using a dataset of 1298 ultrasound images to demonstrate effectiveness.
Introduction And Importance: Edward syndrome is a severe chromosomal defect that occurs as a result of non-disjunction through meiosis. It presents with cardiac septal defects, horseshoe kidneys, patent ductus arteriosus, central nervous system dysgenesis, distinctive craniofacial deformities, and overriding or overlapping fingers. Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) is found in 1 in 660 newborn males.

Typically, these patients present with vague wrist pain and a variable degree of joint motion restriction. Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical suspicion and MRI findings, as radiographs do not show significant changes in the early stages of the disease.

It has been successfully used in various applications including ultrasound image classification for breast lesions. However, the existing ENAS approach only optimizes cell structures rather than the whole CNN architecture nor its trainable hyperparameters.
