Advancements in Oncology with Artificial Intelligence-A Review Article.

Well-trained machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) systems can provide clinicians with therapeutic assistance, potentially increasing efficiency and improving efficacy. ML has demonstrated high accuracy in oncology-related diagnostic imaging, including screening mammography interpretation, colon polyp detection, glioma classification, and grading. By utilizing ML techniques, the manual steps of detecting and segmenting lesions are greatly reduced.

Hepatopulmonary syndrome: An update.

Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is characterized by defects in oxygenation caused by intra-pulmonary vasodilation occurring because of chronic liver disease, portal hypertension, or congenital portosystemic shunts. Clinical implications of portal hypertension are very well-known, however, awareness of its effect on multiple organs such as the lungs are less known. The presence of HPS in chronic liver disease is associated with increased mortality.

Iron-Storage Disorder Presenting as Chronic Diarrhea.

The involvement of the endocrine pancreas leading to bronze diabetes is well studied. However, little is known about the pathophysiology of iron dysregulation involving the exocrine pancreas. We present a unique association between the exocrine pancreas and iron dysregulation.

Role of proning and positive end-expiratory pressure in COVID-19.

The novel coronavirus, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in early 2020 has brought with itself major morbidity and mortality. It has increased hospital occupancy, heralded economic turmoil, and the rapid transmission and community spread have added to the burden of the virus. Most of the patients are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for acute hypoxic respiratory failure often secondary to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Characteristics and Outcomes of COVID-19 Infection from an Urban Ambulatory COVID-19 Clinic-Guidance for Outpatient Clinicians in Triaging Patients.

Background: Coronavirus infection (COVID) presents with flu-like symptoms and can cause serious complications. Here, we discuss the presentation and outcomes of COVID in an ambulatory setting along with distribution of positive cases amongst healthcare workers (HCWs).

Method: Patients who visited the COVID clinic between 03/11/2020 and 06/14/2020 were tested based on the CDC guidelines at the time using PCR-detection methods.

Radial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Complex Arm and Chest Vasculature: Tips and Tricks.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to identify the anatomical difficulties an operator may encounter during the transradial approach for cardiac catheterization and to offer tips and tricks to overcome those challenges.

Recent Findings: With increasing implementation of the transradial approach for cardiac catheterization, many new techniques have been utilized to overcome anatomical challenges. This article also discusses the difficulties faced during transradial approach in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
