Graph neural networks in multi-stained pathological imaging: extended comparative analysis of Radiomic features.

Purpose: This study investigates the application of Radiomic features within graph neural networks (GNNs) for the classification of multiple-epitope-ligand cartography (MELC) pathology samples. It aims to enhance the diagnosis of often misdiagnosed skin diseases such as eczema, lymphoma, and melanoma. The novel contribution lies in integrating Radiomic features with GNNs and comparing their efficacy against traditional multi-stain profiles.

Bifurcation matching for consistent cerebral vessel labeling in CTA of stroke patients.

Purpose: Vessel labeling is a prerequisite for comparing cerebral vasculature across patients, e.g., for straightened vessel examination or for localization.

An algorithm for the labeling and interactive visualization of the cerebrovascular system of ischemic strokes.

During the diagnosis of ischemic strokes, the Circle of Willis and its surrounding vessels are the arteries of interest. Their visualization in case of an acute stroke is often enabled by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). Still, the identification and analysis of the cerebral arteries remain time consuming in such scans due to a large number of peripheral vessels which may disturb the visual impression.

Perioperative risk of pancreatic head resection-nomogram-based prediction of severe postoperative complications as a decisional aid for clinical practice.

Purpose: To develop nomograms for pre- and early-postoperative risk assessment of patients undergoing pancreatic head resection.

Methods: Clinical data from 956 patients were collected in a prospectively maintained database. A test (n = 772) and a validation cohort (n = 184) were randomly generated.

[Integrative Oncology for Women with Breast Cancer].

Integrative Oncology for Women with Breast Cancer Integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-informed field of cancer care, used worldwide to complement standard cancer care and is actively sought by patients. It is also well established in Switzerland. A wide range of procedures are used, such as mind body medicine, art therapies, exercise, nutrition, herbal medicines, nursing measures and specific complementary medical procedures.
