Article Synopsis
  • Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a growing health issue among the elderly, characterized by the development of a new vascular membrane that complicates treatment.
  • The study discusses a technique called middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization, which can treat cSDH either alone or alongside surgery, highlighting its application in a university hospital in Argentina.
  • In this study, 6 patients aged around 72.5 were treated with MMA embolization, leading to no new surgical interventions post-discharge, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of this treatment option.

Article Synopsis
  • The classification of melanocytic tumours with spitzoid features is complex, and a study proposes machine learning algorithms to objectively categorize these tumours based on important histological features.
  • The analysis involved 122 tumours (benign, atypical, and malignant) and evaluated mutation status for some, using various algorithms that showed high accuracy in distinguishing between different types of tumours.
  • The results suggest that machine learning can enhance the classification process in clinical practice, improving diagnosis and reducing inconsistencies among different observers.

The paper proposes a federated content-based medical image retrieval (FedCBMIR) tool that utilizes federated learning (FL) to address the challenges of acquiring a diverse medical data set for training CBMIR models. CBMIR is a tool to find the most similar cases in the data set to assist pathologists. Training such a tool necessitates a pool of whole-slide images (WSIs) to train the feature extractor (FE) to extract an optimal embedding vector.

The creation of artistic images through the use of Artificial Intelligence is an area that has been gaining interest in recent years. In particular, the ability of Neural Networks to separate and subsequently recombine the style of different images, generating a new artistic image with the desired style, has been a source of study and attraction for the academic and industrial community. This work addresses the challenge of generating artistic images that are framed in the style of pictorial Impressionism and, specifically, that imitate the style of one of its greatest exponents, the painter Claude Monet.

Spitzoid tumors (ST) are a group of melanocytic tumors of high diagnostic complexity. Since 1948, when Sophie Spitz first described them, the diagnostic uncertainty remains until now, especially in the intermediate category known as Spitz tumor of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) or atypical Spitz tumor. Studies developing deep learning (DL) models to diagnose melanocytic tumors using whole slide imaging (WSI) are scarce, and few used ST for analysis, excluding STUMP.
