Aim: This study aimed to investigate the long-term changes in intra-abdominal organs of SCA children compared with non-SCA children during steady state using two-dimensional ultrasound assessment.
Article Synopsis
- Gliomas are the most common and deadliest primary brain tumors, with a survival rate under 2 years post-diagnosis, and pose significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
- While research has improved treatment outcomes in wealthier regions, survival rates remain poor in places like Sub-Saharan Africa due to late diagnosis and lower-quality MRI technology.
- The BraTS-Africa Challenge aims to integrate glioma MRI cases from Sub-Saharan Africa into global efforts to develop advanced computer-aided diagnostic tools that could improve detection and treatment in resource-limited healthcare settings.
