Osteoid osteoma of the distal phalanx of the finger: Case report and review of literature.

Osteoid osteoma (OO), a benign bone-forming tumor estimated to account for 3% of all primary bone tumors, rarely occurs in the finger. This case report presents an unusual instance of osteoid osteoma in the finger of a 15-year-old male patient. The lesion was discovered following an initial patient visit for left middle finger pain and swelling for one year without any identifiable injuries.

A drug repurposing screen identifies decitabine as an HSV-1 antiviral.

Unlabelled: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a highly prevalent human pathogen that causes a range of clinical manifestations, including oral and genital herpes, keratitis, encephalitis, and disseminated neonatal disease. Despite its significant health and economic burden, there is currently only a handful of approved antiviral drugs to treat HSV-1 infection. Acyclovir and its analogs are the first-line treatment, but resistance often arises during prolonged treatment periods, such as in immunocompromised patients.

CloudSEN12+: The largest dataset of expert-labeled pixels for cloud and cloud shadow detection in Sentinel-2.

Detecting and screening clouds is the first step in most optical remote sensing analyses. Cloud formation is diverse, presenting many shapes, thicknesses, and altitudes. This variety poses a significant challenge to the development of effective cloud detection algorithms, as most datasets lack an unbiased representation.
