An efficient breast cancer classification model using bilateral filtering and fuzzy convolutional neural network.

BC (Breast cancer) is the second most common reason for women to die from cancer. Recent workintroduced a model for BC classifications where input breast images were pre-processed using median filters for reducing noises. Weighed KMC (K-Means clustering) is used to segment the ROI (Region of Interest) after the input image has been cleaned of noise.

A retained foreign body in a jejunal diverticulum.

Retained foreign bodies in small bowel diverticula are a rare occurrence. Batteries and battery containing products can cause bowel perforation, and when retained in diverticula, retrieval methods may need to be considered. We present a novel case of a hearing aid powered by lithium battery getting stuck in a jejunal diverticulum, and outline an approach to retrieval.

Spontaneous rupture of a solitary oligometastatic hepatic melanoma.

A mid-50s woman presented with acute right upper quadrant pain 1-day post second cycle of pembrolizumab. She has a significant history for two concurrent malignancies: a solitary oligometastatic hepatic melanoma (NRAS mutant) of unknown primary diagnosed 2 months prior, and a 10-year history of breast carcinoma with pulmonary metastases on palliative chemotherapy. Multiphase CT scan demonstrated active venous bleeding without active arterial bleeding.

Homograft Versus Valves and Valved Conduits for Extensive Aortic Valve Endocarditis with Aortic Root Involvement/Destruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Aortic valve infective endocarditis is a life-threatening condition. Patients frequently present profoundly unwell and extensive surgery may be required to correct the underlying anatomical deficits and control sepsis. Periannular involvement occurs in more than 10% of patients with aortic valve endocarditis.
