Objective: Invasive lung adenocarcinoma(ILA) with micropapillary (MPP)/solid (SOL) components has a poor prognosis. Preoperative identification is essential for decision-making for subsequent treatment. This study aims to construct and evaluate a super-resolution(SR) enhanced radiomics model designed to predict the presence of MPP/SOL components preoperatively to provide more accurate and individualized treatment planning.

However, the clinical significance of vascular remodeling of carotid lesions remains unclear. Through this study, we aimed to evaluate the association between vascular remodeling and ischemic symptoms in patients with an internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis degree ≥50%, considering the differences in plaque calcification patterns.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients with moderate-to-severe ACS, who were categorized into mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and normal cognition groups on the basis of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores. The cholinergic pathway hyperintensity scale (CHIPS), Fazekas, and medial temporal atrophy (MTA) scores were assessed.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second prevalent neurological diseases with a significant growth rate in incidence. Convolutional neural networks using structural magnetic resonance images (sMRI) are widely used for PD classification. However, the areas of change in the patient's MRI images are small and unfixed.

Background: Crossed pulmonary arteries or single atrium is a rare form of cardiovascular anomaly. In previous studies, the anomalies are detected in infant or early adolescence, and infrequently seen in adult population.
Case Presentation: We presented a case of the coexistence of two congenital anomalies in a 44-year-old woman who remained well tolerated and undiscovered until adulthood.
