Background: Radiomics, an emerging field, presents a promising avenue for the accurate prediction of biomarkers in different solid cancers. Lung cancer remains a significant global health challenge, contributing substantially to cancer-related mortality. Accurate assessment of Ki-67, a marker reflecting cellular proliferation, is crucial for evaluating tumor aggressiveness and treatment responsiveness, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

- - This study investigates the effectiveness of combining 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) with CO2 laser therapy to treat vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN), a precursor to vaginal cancer.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 40 VaIN patients, comparing treatment outcomes such as cure rates and human papillomavirus (HPV) clearance after different therapies, and found significant differences in HPV clearance but not in overall cure rates after 12 months.
- - The combination therapy was found to be safe with fewer adverse effects compared to CO2 laser treatment alone, suggesting that adding 5-ALA-PDT may improve patient outcomes for VaIN treatment.
Objectives: To investigate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the behaviours, mental health and seizure control of adult patients with epilepsy (PWE) and to identify the correlation of seizure increase and the COVID-19 outbreak to guide the medical care of individuals with epilepsy during a public health crisis.
Methods: This study was conducted at 28 centres from February 2020 to April 2020. Participants filled out a 62-item online survey including sociodemographic, COVID-19-related, epilepsy-related and psychological variables and were divided into two groups based on whether their seizure frequency increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
