Automatized Hepatic Tumor Volume Analysis of Neuroendocrine Liver Metastases by Gd-EOB MRI-A Deep-Learning Model to Support Multidisciplinary Cancer Conference Decision-Making.

Background: Rapid quantification of liver metastasis for diagnosis and follow-up is an unmet medical need in patients with secondary liver malignancies. We present a 3D-quantification model of neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) using gadoxetic-acid (Gd-EOB)-enhanced MRI as a useful tool for multidisciplinary cancer conferences (MCC).

Methods: Manual 3D-segmentations of NELM and livers (149 patients in 278 Gd-EOB MRI scans) were used to train a neural network (-Net architecture).

Clinical retrospective study on the efficacy of Qingfei Paidu decoction combined with Western medicine for COVID-19 treatment.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a global pandemic. However, as effective treatments for this disease are still unclear, safe and efficient therapies are urgently needed. Qingfei Paidu decoction (QPD) is strongly recommended in the Chinese Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Provisional 6th Edition).

Therapy with high-dose long-term antioxidant free radicals for severe paraquat poisoning: A pilot study.

This study investigated the effects of high-dose long-term antioxidant free radicals on the mortality rate, creatinine (Cr) value, partial pressure of oxygen (PaO), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), as well as the incidence rates of lung fibrosis and dysfunction in the treatment of patients with severe paraquat (PQ) poisoning [toxic dose, 20 ml stock solution (20% w/v)]. A total of 23 cases of severe PQ poisoning treated in Xiangyang First People's Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine were collected (group 1), and they received conventional treatments such as immunosuppressive agents and/or hemoperfusion. Six patients were given high-dose long-term antioxidant therapy on the basis of conventional treatments (group 2).
