Background: The rise of Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping healthcare, particularly in medical imaging. In this emerging field, clinical imaging personnel need proper training. However, formal AI education is lacking in medical curricula, coupled with a shortage of studies synthesising the availability of AI curricula tailored for clinical imaging personnel.

In Singapore's hot and humid climate, watercolor papers are particularly prone to a paper oxidation issue known as foxing, which refers to the discoloration forming yellowish-brown stains on paper, changing the visual outcome of the watercolor artworks. This research investigates two most popular types of watercolor paper, made from 100% cotton and cotton-wood-pulp mixture. Foxing was generally categorized into two types: biotic and abiotic foxing caused by fungi activities and the presence of metallic contaminants catalytic fungi growth.

Background: Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and Microwave Ablation (MWA) are alternative treatments for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients that are unsuitable for resection. However, consensus is lacking regarding selection criteria, tumour characteristics, ablation technique delivery, and device settings. This study aims to summarise current evidence to inform future prospective studies.

Article Synopsis
  • Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a respiratory issue common in preterm infants that can worsen with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and this study explores the heart's left ventricle (LV) function in these cases.
  • A study involving 80 infants under 28 weeks gestation found that those with BPD-PH had higher rates of significant heart issues, longer need for oxygen, and longer hospital stays, with distinct changes in LV function measured by tissue Doppler imaging.
  • The study indicates that diagnosing BPD-PH could benefit from monitoring LV diastolic dysfunction, revealing a potential link between the function of the right and left ventricles in affected infants.
