Purpose: To create a computer-aided prediction (CAP) system to predict Wilms tumor (WT) responsiveness to preoperative chemotherapy (PC) using pre-therapy contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT).

Materials And Methods: A single-center database was reviewed for children <18 years diagnosed with WT and received PC between 2001 and 2021. Patients were excluded if pre- and post-PC CECT were not retrievable.

The grading of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) continues to face challenges due to subjective interpretations, which affect the assessment of its severity. To address this challenge, we are developing an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) system aimed at objectively grading NMIBC. This system uses a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture called the multi-scale pyramidal pretrained CNN to analyze both local and global pathology markers extracted from digital pathology images.

Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment landscape of hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2 -) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Here, we present the real-world clinical outcomes and toxicity data of patients treated at a single cancer center.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with HR+/HER2- MBC treated with ribociclib plus endocrine therapy (ET).

Article Synopsis
  • Liposomal hesperetin is a new type of supplement that can be used instead of antibiotics for chickens, helping them grow better and stay healthy.
  • In a study, different groups of chickens were given diets with different amounts of liposomal hesperetin, and those that ate more showed improved health and growth.
  • This supplement also helped boost the chickens' immune systems and reduce harmful bacteria, making them stronger against infections.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute ischemic stroke can cause serious side effects, including headaches that people often overlook, which can affect recovery.
  • Researchers are studying how headaches develop after a stroke and how to manage them better by using special imaging techniques.
  • They found that certain blood vessels in the brain, when opened during a stroke, are linked to causing these headaches, and understanding this can help predict when they might happen.
