However, for a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system, distinguishing between pathological abnormalities of PLID in MR images is a challenging and intricate task. Here, we propose a comprehensive model for the automatic detection and cropping of regions of interest (ROI) from sagittal MR images using the YOLOv8 framework to solve this challenge.

Article Synopsis
- Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major issue in hospitals, linked to poor hygiene and resulting in higher patient morbidity and mortality.
- A study in Wuhan involving 350 healthcare workers found that many lacked essential knowledge about infection control, despite 60% holding diplomas or higher.
- The research underscores the need for better training and information on hygiene practices to improve cleanliness and lower the rates of HAIs in healthcare settings.

Article Synopsis
- Heavy metal contamination in seafood poses health risks, prompting a study in Egypt's coastal regions, which are key for seafood.
- The study tested 96 samples of sardines and shrimp from four governorates for toxic metals (Hg, Pb, Cd, As) using advanced spectrometry, finding no mercury and varying levels of lead and cadmium, especially higher in winter.
- Overall, health risk assessments showed low risk for consumers, except sardines from Kafr El-Sheikh, which had elevated metal levels indicating potential health concerns.
