Histological staining of tissue biopsies, especially hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, serves as the benchmark for disease diagnosis and comprehensive clinical assessment of tissue. However, the typical formalin-fixation, paraffin-embedding (FFPE) process is laborious and time consuming, often limiting its usage in time-sensitive applications such as surgical margin assessment. To address these challenges, we combine an emerging 3D quantitative phase imaging technology, termed quantitative oblique back illumination microscopy (qOBM), with an unsupervised generative adversarial network pipeline to map qOBM phase images of unaltered thick tissues (i.

This study investigates frequency and perceptions of alopecia persisting 6 years after patients' breast cancer diagnoses.
Methods: Breast cancer survivors participating in the Mayo Clinic Breast Disease Registry (MCBDR) were mailed a survey 6 years after diagnosis.
Background: Cirrhosis is associated with significant healthcare utilization, yet data about in-hospital decompensations remain sparse. Additionally, the impact of liver transplant candidacy status on resuscitation and outcomes is largely unknown.
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the characteristics of resuscitation events for patients with cirrhosis with acute decompensation, analyzing liver transplant candidacy and intensive care unit (ICU) transfer parameters.
Background: Despite its association with lower survival rates among patients in various disease states, financial toxicity is often overlooked in health care. The aims of our study are to elucidate the effect of financial toxicity on the care of glioma patients.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated clinical information of 130 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma from a single institution between 2014 and 2021.
