Assessing the predictive value of Ki-67 and progesterone receptor algorithms for recurrence and disease-free survival in meningiomas.

Sophisticated refinements in histopathology are evolving to improve meningioma outcome prediction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the stand-alone performance of Ki-67 and progesterone receptor (PR) algorithm scores in meningiomas and their power in predicting recurrence and disease-free survival of the patients. Whole slide images of Ki-67 and PR-stained slides from 404 meningioma cases were analyzed by a digital image viewer and analysis software Virapath-2.

Tubule-U-Net: a novel dataset and deep learning-based tubule segmentation framework in whole slide images of breast cancer.

The tubule index is a vital prognostic measure in breast cancer tumor grading and is visually evaluated by pathologists. In this paper, a computer-aided patch-based deep learning tubule segmentation framework, named Tubule-U-Net, is developed and proposed to segment tubules in Whole Slide Images (WSI) of breast cancer. Moreover, this paper presents a new tubule segmentation dataset consisting of 30820 polygonal annotated tubules in 8225 patches.

Seismic history of western Anatolia during the last 16 kyr determined by cosmogenic Cl dating.

Unlabelled: Western Anatolia is one of the most seismically active regions worldwide. To date, the paleoseismic history of many major faults, in terms of recurrence intervals of destructive earthquakes, their magnitude, displacement, and slip rates is poorly understood. Regional crustal extension has produced major horst-graben systems bounded by kilometer-scale normal faults locally in carbonates, along which vertical crustal displacements occurred.

Intradermal injections with 0.5% minoxidil for the treatment of female androgenetic alopecia: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Female androgenetic alopecia is one cause of alopecia in women, although the ideal treatment for this condition remains far from defined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intradermal injections with 0.5% minoxidil for the management of female androgenetic alopecia in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Managing Bronchiectasis: 13 Years of Experience from Sputum to Lung Transplantation.

Objectives: Bronchiectasis and especially related mortality has gained growing interest in recent years. The aim of our retrospective study was to determine the factors which may influence and indicate mortality in our bronchiectasis patients throughout 13 years.

Material And Methods: Patients with ICD-10 code J47 depicting bronchiectasis between 1.
