Introduction: The accuracy of fenestrations in stent grafts for complex aortic aneurysms and dissections can be significantly improved using three-dimensional (3D)-printed phantoms. Standardization is enhanced by using artificial intelligence (AI) for image pre-processing before 3D printing. These methods address fallacies in centerline image analysis and manual image pre-processing.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) by analyzing recurrent cases to determine whether it's a reactive process or a true lymphoma, utilizing data from the French Study Group of Cutaneous Lymphoma (GFELC).
  • - Methods included assessing histology, B-cell clonality, and immunophenotype of lesions, revealing that most initial cases were localized, with differences in recurrence times based on location, and certain clonal patterns were more prominent in local recurrences.
  • - The findings suggest that assessing immunoglobulin phenotype, particularly IgM and IgD, may be critical for diagnosing PCMZL, as IgM-positive cases tend to lead to more aggressive transformation and poorer prognosis, indicating different biological
