Revision total hip arthroplasty using custom monoflange acetabular components (CMACs) in cases of severe bone loss is becoming an increasingly preferred alternative to traditional implants, which may not provide stable fixation in such cases. However, this procedure also carries a higher risk of infection and implant loosening. This case report discusses a 67-year-old female patient who presented with old acetabular component loosening and significant pelvic bone loss.

Because microscopic identification of sclerosed glomeruli performed under the microscope is labor intensive, we developed a deep learning (DL) approach to identify and classify glomeruli as normal or sclerosed in digital whole slide images (WSIs). The segmentation and classification of glomeruli was performed by the U-Net model.
