Background: This work tackles the growing problem of early identification of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. The deep neural network design utilizes multi-scale feature fusion to improve automated diagnostic accuracy. Methods This approach uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) and is designed to combine higher-level semantic inputs with low-level textural characteristics.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case study of a 53-year-old male with symptoms like weight loss, hoarseness, and dysphagia led to the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) through a biopsy, following imaging that revealed a significant lesion in the larynx.
  • * The patient successfully underwent eight cycles of CHOP chemotherapy, resulting in complete remission with no recurrence in two years, highlighting the need for early detection and treatment due to symptom similarities with other laryngeal issues.

Pneumolabyrinth is a rare entity in a case of squamous chronic otitis media in the practice of otology. We report a case of 56 year male, a known case of Squamous Chronic Otitis Media who was diagnosed as a case of Pneumolabyrinth associated with a Perilymphatic fistula. Diagnosis was done with the help of audiometry and High-Resolution Computed Tomography of Temporal Bone in background of his symptoms.

Caprine livestock are significant reservoirs of the complex (MTBC), contributing to tuberculosis (TB) transmission among animals and humans. The P22 protein immunocomplex (P22PI), derived from bovine tuberculin, shows immunostimulating capacity and is used for TB diagnosis. This study assessed the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of P22PI in two groups of goats: 24 naïve goats (12 immunised, 12 controls) from a TB-free herd, and 24 infected goats (12 immunised, 12 controls), referred to as pre-infected animals, from a -infected herd.
