SkinSage XAI: An explainable deep learning solution for skin lesion diagnosis.

Background: Skin cancer poses a significant global health threat, with early detection being essential for successful treatment. While deep learning algorithms have greatly enhanced the categorization of skin lesions, the black-box nature of many models limits interpretability, posing challenges for dermatologists.

Methods: To address these limitations, SkinSage XAI utilizes advanced explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques for skin lesion categorization.

Existing and Evolving Therapies for Arteriovenous Fistula and Graft Dysfunction.

A functional vascular access (VA) is of paramount importance to patients on hemodialysis therapy. While arteriovenous fistula (AVF) remains the preferred VA, their long-term patency is unpredictable. A dysfunctional VA contributes to a high morbidity rate, an increased susceptibility to major adverse cardiovascular events, recurrent hospitalization, and a poor quality of life.

NELL-1 Associated Membranous Nephropathy - A Case Series from India.

Neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 (NELL-1) is responsible for a substantial proportion of cases of PLA2R-negative primary membranous nephropathy (MN). To investigate the occurrence, association, and treatment responses, we carried out this ambispective study. In the study, nine (10%) of all patients with MN at our center were found to be NELL-1 positive.
