Novel neural network classification of maternal fetal ultrasound planes through optimized feature selection.

Ultrasound (US) imaging is an essential diagnostic technique in prenatal care, enabling enhanced surveillance of fetal growth and development. Fetal ultrasonography standard planes are crucial for evaluating fetal development parameters and detecting abnormalities. Real-time imaging, low cost, non-invasiveness, and accessibility make US imaging indispensable in clinical practice.

Transarterial chemoembolization in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein thrombosis: a perspective on survival.

Objective: Portal vein thrombosis is considered a relative contraindication for transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of TACE treatment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein (PV) thrombosis.

Methods: From April 2011 to June 2013, 17 patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with PV thrombosis were studied.
