Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of annotating multiple brain regions in mouse models for neuroscience research and highlights the limitations of manual annotation by trained pathologists, which slows down the overall process.
- It introduces AnNoBrainer, an open-source software tool that uses deep learning and other advanced techniques to automate brain region annotation on pathology slides, aiming to improve efficiency.
- AnNoBrainer has shown to be accurate and reproducible, cutting annotation time by about 50%, and meets expert standards, thereby facilitating faster image analysis in neuroscience labs.
Objective: To establish the diagnostic value of prespecified ECG changes in suspected pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods: Retrospective case-control study in a district general hospital setting. We identified 189 consecutive patients with suspected PE whose CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) was positive for a first PE and for whom an ECG taken at the time of presentation was available.
Background: Patients in whom a diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is suspected and whose D-dimers are elevated frequently require CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) for diagnosis. Because D-dimer rises with age, an age-adjusted D-dimer threshold may prevent unnecessary radiation exposure from CTPA in older patients.
Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of implementing an age-adjusted D-dimer threshold to exclude PE.
Article Synopsis
- The case describes a unique medical condition where the intestines are improperly rotated, resulting in twisting (volvulus) around a Meckel's diverticulum linked to a leftover vitelline duct remnant.
- The diagnosis was confirmed using a CT scan, which is a common imaging technique in medical settings.
- The patient underwent surgery (exploratory laparotomy and small bowel resection) and successfully recovered, being discharged from the hospital just a week after the procedure.
