Visual homogeneity computations in the brain enable solving property-based visual tasks.

Most visual tasks involve looking for specific object features. But we also often perform property-based tasks where we look for specific property in an image, such as finding an odd item, deciding if two items are same, or if an object has symmetry. How do we solve such tasks? These tasks do not fit into standard models of decision making because their underlying feature space and decision process is unclear.

A Novel 5-Probe FISH Strategy is Better Equipped for a More Comprehensive and Cost-Effective Risk Stratification of BCP-ALL.

Objective: The modern treatment protocols in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) are based on the disease's genetic characteristics and response to treatment. We propose a novel five-probe FISH strategy to risk stratify the BCP-ALL and compare its ability with the triple trisomy probe strategy to detect high hyperdiploidy.

Methods: All newly diagnosed BCP-ALL cases were investigated using a five-probe FISH panel that included probes targeting BCR::ABL1 fusion, ETV6::RUNX1 fusion, and break-apart probes for KMT2A, IgH, and CRLF2 rearrangements.

Piezo-Assisted Transmaxillary Approach for Microscope-Enabled Debulking of Infratemporal Schwannoma.

The Rationale: Retromaxillary lesions pose diagnostic and treatment delays due to their location. With classical methods posing great morbidity, advances like Peizotome and microscope-assisted surgeries have gained relevance for efficient management with lesser complications and faster postoperative recovery.

Case: A 65-year-old male patient presents with complaints of pain and blurring of the right eye for 10 days.
