Potential pitfalls in reporting non-neoplastic gastrointestinal mucosal biopsies.

Biopsies taken from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) comprise a significant percentage of the pathologists' routine work. The variable histology and normal components of each organ along the GIT, as well as the different ways of responding to injury among these organs, can cause morphological changes that could result in potential diagnostic pitfalls. Herein, we review the pathological conditions of the GIT that could cause these diagnostic pitfalls.

Analysis of Facial Occlusion Challenge in Thermal Images for Human Affective State Recognition.

Several studies have been conducted using both visual and thermal facial images to identify human affective states. Despite the advantages of thermal facial images in recognizing spontaneous human affects, few studies have focused on facial occlusion challenges in thermal images, particularly eyeglasses and facial hair occlusion. As a result, three classification models are proposed in this paper to address the problem of thermal occlusion in facial images, with six basic spontaneous emotions being classified.
