LossLens: Diagnostics for Machine Learning Through Loss Landscape Visual Analytics.

Modern machine learning often relies on optimizing a neural network's parameters using a loss function to learn complex features. Beyond training, examining the loss function with respect to a network's parameters (i.e.

A Unique Case of Intra-Abdominal Diffuse Lymphangiomatosis Mimicking a Pseudomyxoma Peritonei.

Introduction: Localized cystic lymphangiomas (CL) are rare benign tumors deriving from the lymphatic system. CL is diagnosed more frequently in children than in the adult population and, although commonly affecting the cervical and axillary regions, can develop in various parts of the body. Abdominal cystic lymphangioma (ACL) comprises less than 5% of all CL cases.

Exosomal CD40, CD25, and Serum CA19-9 as Combinatory Novel Liquid Biopsy Biomarker for the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Patients with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

The poor prognosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is largely due to several challenges, such as late diagnosis, early metastasis, limited response to chemotherapy, aggressive tumor biology, and high rates of tumor recurrence. Therefore, the development of a non-invasive and effective method for early detection of PDAC is crucial to improving patient outcomes. Continued research and exploration in this area are essential to enhance early detection methods and ultimately improve the prognosis for individuals with PDAC.

Postoperative outcomes and their risk factors in left pancreatectomy with and without multivisceral resection.

The aim of the present study was to identify risk factors associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing isolated left pancreatectomy and those undergoing left pancreatic resection as part of a multivisceral resection. We performed a retrospective analysis of 296 adult patients who underwent elective left pancreatectomy from 2005 to 2022 at the University Hospital Erlangen. Patient demographics, pre- and intraoperative findings, along with postoperative outcomes, were collected and tested as predictive factors for various short-term postoperative parameters.
