Agreement between Fetal Brain Ultrasonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Measurements of the Corpus Callosum and Transverse Cerebellar Diameter.

As the use of magnetic resonance imaging of the fetal brain has evolved, the need to understand its efficiency in the biometry of the fetal brain has broadened. This study aimed to assess the level of agreement and correlation between the two cardinal imaging methods of fetal neuroimaging, ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), by measuring the corpus callosum (CC) and transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) in terms of length and percentile. Measurements of CC and TCD length and percentile were documented over a 7-year span in a tertiary referral medical center.

Deep learning for wireless capsule endoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Deep learning is an innovative algorithm based on neural networks. Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is considered the criterion standard for detecting small-bowel diseases. Manual examination of WCE is time-consuming and can benefit from automatic detection using artificial intelligence (AI).

NLRP3 inflammasome activity is upregulated in an in-vitro model of COPD exacerbation.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory disease characterized by a progressive and irreversible deterioration of lung function. Exacerbations of COPD have prolonged negative effects on pulmonary function and a major impact on health status and outcomes. NLRP3 inflammasome is a cardinal component of the inflammatory response, with marked evidence in stable and exacerbations of COPD.
