Artificial intelligence and MRI in sinonasal tumors discrimination: where do we stand?

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrates high potential when applied to radiomic analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to discriminate sinonasal tumors. This can enhance diagnostic suspicion beyond visual assessment alone and prior to biopsy, leading to expedite the diagnostic timeline and the treatment planning. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the current advancements and accuracy of this technology in this domain.

Comparison of the Cobalt Content in Needles Stainless Steel.

Cobalt (Co) alloys are used extensively in a wide range of medical devices due to their biocompatibility, durability, and properties. In 2017 the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) proposed to classify Co metal as a category 1B carcinogen (i.e.

From advanced hydraulic modelling to performance indicator for the efficiency of investments in leakage management of pressurized water systems.

Introduction: The digital transition is meant as the review of processes using digital technologies and strategies to increase efficiency based on a simpler collection of representative data. The process of interest here is the leakage management in systems distributing water.

Objective: To develop a novel key performance indicator (KPI) for leakage management considering the needs of ongoing digital transition in the water sector, which is opening a new era in the management of drinking water infrastructures.

Large Lipoma with Focal Cartilage Metaplasia of the Under-tongue Region.

Lipomas are benign connective tissue tumors. They are common lesions in the human body, but they rarely appear in the oral cavity. We present a case of a 31-year-old female with a 2 months history of painful swelling of the under-tongue region, without dysphagia and dyspnea.

Risk of food and housing insecurity among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim of this study was to assess college students' food and housing insecurity risk amidst the pandemic. Data were collected through an online survey in the summer of 2020 from 1956 graduate and undergraduate students attending a large, private, urban university in the Midwest, U.S.
