Deep Learning Approaches for Detecting COVID-19 From Chest X-Ray Images: A Survey.

Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging is a standard and crucial examination method used for suspected cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). In profoundly affected or limited resource areas, CXR imaging is preferable owing to its availability, low cost, and rapid results. However, given the rapidly spreading nature of COVID-19, such tests could limit the efficiency of pandemic control and prevention.

Histone chaperone FACT complex inhibitor CBL0137 interferes with DNA damage repair and enhances sensitivity of medulloblastoma to chemotherapy and radiation.

Medulloblastoma (MB) is a malignant pediatric brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Post-surgical radiation and cisplatin-based chemotherapy have been a mainstay of treatment, which often leads to substantial neurocognitive impairments and morbidity, highlighting the need for a novel therapeutic target to enhance the sensitivity of MB tumors to cytotoxic therapies. We performed a comprehensive study using a cohort of 71 MB patients' samples and pediatric MB cell lines and found that MB tumors have elevated levels of nucleosome remodeling FACT (FAcilitates Chromatin Transcription) complex and DNA repair enzyme AP-endonuclease1 (APE1).

Shortened dental arch as a solution for maxillary sinus proximity in dental implant restoration.

This case report demonstrates the benefit of using the shortened dental arch (SDA) design for a comprehensive implant-supported restoration and the avoidance of the complexities of implant placement near the maxillary sinus. The SDA concept as a treatment option is encouraging in terms of function, patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness.

Primary failure of eruption combined with bilateral transmigration of mandibular canines, transposition, torus palatinus, and class III incisor relationship: A rare case report.

Eruption disorders are numerous varying from delayed to complete failure of eruption. Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare condition that involves arrested eruption of teeth with the absence of local or general contributory factors. Another rare and clinically challenging phenomenon is canine transmigration which is the intra-osseous movement of impacted canines across the midline.

Pentalogy of Cantrell: case report and review of the literature.

Pentalogy of Cantrell is a syndrome that consists of five anomalies: a midline, upper abdominal wall abnormality; lower sternal defect; anterior diaphragmatic defect; diaphragmatic pericardial defect, and congenital abnormalities of the heart. The pathogenesis of this condition is not fully known yet, associations are common with this condition and treatment is extremely challenging. Prognosis and outcome depends on the type of the pentalogy of Cantrell and associated cardiac anomalies.

Detection of schistosomiasis antibodies in urine patients as a promising diagnostic maker.

Objective: To determine secreted antischistosoma antibodies in urine and to discern the epidemiological situation of schistosomiasis in the agricultural field labourers'camps city in the Gezira State-central Sudan.

Methods: Total of 66 urine and 66 serum paired samples were collected from those who confirmed parasitologically positive and negative with schistosomiasis from the two camps. Samples were tested using ELISA technique to measure and compare the immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in serum and urine samples of schistosomiasis patients.
