A review of the Segment Anything Model (SAM) for medical image analysis: Accomplishments and perspectives.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the developments that have occurred in the Segment Anything Model (SAM) within the medical image segmentation category over the course of the past year. However, SAM has demonstrated notable achievements in adapting to medical image segmentation tasks through fine-tuning on medical datasets, transitioning from 2D to 3D datasets, and optimizing prompting engineering. This is despite the fact that direct application on medical datasets has shown mixed results.

Longitudinal change in cervical length measured after prophylactic cerclage in predicting spontaneous preterm birth.

Objective: To evaluate the value of serial post-cerclage cervical length measurements in predicting preterm birth.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of women with a singleton pregnancy who underwent prophylactic transvaginal cerclage from 2017 to 2023. Prophylactic cerclage was performed in women with an obstetric history of cervical insufficiency.

Injectable Dynamic ROS-Responsive COF-Modified Microalgae Gels for In Vivo bFGF Delivery to Treat Diabetic Wounds.

Hypoxia, chronic inflammation, and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by hyperglycemia pose formidable challenges to the healing of diabetic chronic wounds, often resulting in impaired recovery. Currently, sustainable and eco-friendly therapeutic approaches targeting this multifaceted problem remain uncharted. Herein, we develop a unique three-functional covalent organic framework (COF)-modified microalgae gel designed for the preparation and treatment of chronic diabetic wounds.

Value of post-cerclage transvaginal ultrasound in predicting preterm birth at <28 weeks in twin pregnancy with ultrasound-indicated cerclage.

Objective: To evaluate the value of transvaginal ultrasound parameters before and after cerclage in twins in predicting spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) before 28 weeks.

Methods: We retrospectively studied the medical records of twin-pregnant women who underwent ultrasound-indicated cerclage between January 2016 and February 2022 at our hospital. Recorded transvaginal ultrasound images before and after cerclage were reassessed for cervical length (CL), uterocervical angle (UCA), funneling, and sludge.

Whole exome sequencing discloses a pathogenic MTM1 gene mutation in a continuous polyhydramnios family in China: Case report and literature review.

Polyhydramnios can be caused by genetic defects at times. However, to establish an accurate diagnosis and provide a precise prenatal consultation in a given case is still a great challenge toward obstetricians. To uncover the genetic cause of polyhydramnios in the two consecutive pregnancies, we performed whole-exome sequencing of DNA for the second suffering fetuses, their parents, and targeted sanger sequencing of other members of this family.

Delayed Reconstruction of the Perforator Pedicle Propeller Flap after the Induced Membrane Technique for Gustilo IIIB Open Distal Tibial Fracture.

This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of delayed reconstruction of the perforator pedicle propeller flap after the induced membrane technique in the treatment of Gustilo IIIB open distal tibial fracture, and to evaluate the clinical outcome and complications of two different perforator pedicle propeller flaps.Thirty-four patients with Gustilo IIIB open distal tibial fractures treated by the induced membrane technique and delayed reconstruction of two different perforator pedicle propeller flaps from May 2017 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the different kinds of perforator pedicle propeller flaps covered.

Prenatal diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex: Echocardiography, cranial magnetic resonance, and genetic testing of 40 cases with fetal cardiac tumors.

Objective: To explore the relationship between Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and cardiac tumors at our institution over the past five years and to evaluate the value of imaging technologies and genetic testing in the prenatal diagnosis of TSC.

Methods: Fetal echocardiography (FE) was performed in the whole population between 2016 and 2020. Fetuses detected with cardiac tumor(s) were included.

A nomogram to predict extremely preterm birth in women with singleton pregnancies undergoing cervical cerclage.

Objective: To develop a nomogram to predict preterm birth before 28 weeks in pregnant women undergoing cervical cerclage.

Study Design: We retrospectively studied the medical records on pregnant women who underwent cervical cerclage in January 2016 to September 2020. We developed the model from a development cohort in Women's Hospital, Zhejiang university, School of medicine, which randomly divided by 7:3 into training cohort for nomogram development, and internal validation cohort to confirm the model's performance.

Predictive Value of Second-Trimester Maternal Lipid Profiling in Early-Onset Pre-eclampsia: A Prospective Cohort Study and Nomogram.

Maternal lipid profile in second trimester has rarely been investigated in the risk assessment for pre-eclampsia (PE). Since early-onset PE often companied by much worse clinical outcomes, thus, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of second-trimester maternal lipid profiling for early-onset PE. A prospective cohort study was conducted to measure the second-trimester maternal lipid profile of pregnant women from January to December 2019.

Predictive value of cervical length by ultrasound and cervical strain elastography in labor induction at term.

Objective: This study aimed to examine whether addition of cervical elastographic parameters measured by ElastoScan for the cervix (E-cervix) improves the predictive value of cervical length (CL) in induction of labor at term by dinoprostone.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, observational study between January 2020 and June 2020 in term primiparous women (n = 73) who were scheduled for labor induction by a 10-mg dinoprostone vaginal insert. The time intervals from the start of labor induction to regular uterine contractions and to vaginal delivery were calculated as the primary outcomes.
