The amount of SARS-CoV-2 in a sample is often measured using Ct values. However, the same Ct value may correspond to different viral loads on different platforms and assays, making them difficult to compare from study to study. To address this problem, we developed , a Python package that converts Ct values to viral loads for any RT-qPCR assay/platform.

This review aims to present a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the analysis of tubular gastrointestinal biopsies. These publications cover a spectrum of conditions, ranging from inflammatory ailments to malignancies. Moving beyond the conventional diagnosis based on hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole-slide images, the review explores additional implications of AI, including its involvement in interpreting immunohistochemical results, molecular subtyping, and the identification of cellular spatial biomarkers.

Objectives: Stereotactic core needle biopsy (SCNB) is used in the diagnostic assessment of suspicious mammographic calcifications to rule out breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). With advances in imaging technology and increased biopsy tissue volume, the detection rate of calcifications and DCIS in SCNB is unclear.

Methods: This retrospective study included 916 consecutive SCNBs for calcifications performed on 893 patients in a 2-year period.
