Assessing the transportability of radiomic models for lung cancer diagnosis: commercial open-source feature extractors.

Background: Radiomics has shown promise in improving malignancy risk stratification of indeterminate pulmonary nodules (IPNs) with many platforms available, but with no head-to-head comparisons. This study aimed to evaluate transportability of radiomic models across platforms by comparing performances of a commercial radiomic feature extractor (HealthMyne) with an open-source extractor (PyRadiomics) on diagnosis of lung cancer in IPNs.

Methods: A commercial radiomic feature extractor was used to segment IPNs from computed tomography (CT) scans, and a previously validated radiomic model based on commercial features was used as baseline (ComRad).

Riverhood: political ecologies of socionature commoning and translocal struggles for water justice.

Mega-damming, pollution and depletion endanger rivers worldwide. Meanwhile, modernist imaginaries of ordering 'unruly waters and humans' have become cornerstones of hydraulic-bureaucratic and capitalist development. They separate hydro/social worlds, sideline river-commons cultures, and deepen socio-environmental injustices.

Isolated tricuspid valve surgery-Repair versus replacement: A meta-analysis.

Objective: There is a paucity of data on outcomes after isolated tricuspid valve surgery. This meta-analysis aims to compile available data on isolated tricuspid valve surgery and compare isolated tricuspid valve repair (iTVr) with isolated tricuspid valve replacement (iTVR) to elucidate outcomes after tricuspid valve surgery.

Methods: A literature search of 6 databases was performed.
