The pathological diagnosis of intracranial germinoma (IG), oligodendroglioma, and low-grade astrocytoma on intraoperative frozen section (IFS) and hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-staining section directly determines patients' treatment options, but it is a difficult task for pathologists. We aimed to investigate whether whole-slide imaging (WSI)-based deep learning can contribute new precision to the diagnosis of IG, oligodendroglioma, and low-grade astrocytoma. Two types of WSIs (500 IFSs and 832 HE-staining sections) were collected from 379 patients at multiple medical centers.

Background: Precise classification of incomplete antibody reactants (IAR) in the Coombs test is the primary means to prevent incompatible blood transfusions. Currently, an automatic and contactless method is required for accurate IAR classification to avoid human error.
Objective: We present an ensemble learning algorithm that integrates five convolutional neural networks and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression algorithm into an IAR intensity classification model.
The precise classification of incomplete antibody reaction intensity (IARI) in hydrogel chromatography medium high density medium solid-phase Coombs test is essential for haemolytic disease screening. However, an automatic and contactless method is required for accurate classification of IARI. Here, we present a deep ensemble learning model that integrates five different convolutional neural networks into a single model for IARI classification.

The clinical community has no objective biomarker to inform the diagnosis and subtyping of ADHD. This study aimed to explore the potential diagnostic biomarkers of ADHD among surface values, volumetric metrics and radiomic features that were extracted from structural MRI images.

Submucosal injection of gemcitabine prior to transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) may prevent recurrence of urothelial cancer. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown.
