Artificial intelligence in plastic surgery, where do we stand?

Since the pandemic, artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated into several fields and everyday life as well. Healthcare is not an exception. Plastic surgery is a key focus area of this technological revolution, with hundreds of studies and reviews already published on the use of AI in plastics.

Advanced secondary abdominal ectopic pregnancy with live fetus at 26-weeks' gestation following in vitro fertilization: A case report.

Abdominal ectopic pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study reports a case of advanced abdominal ectopic pregnancy at 26-weeks' gestation in a 31-year-old primigravida whose conception was a result of in vitro fertilization because of infertility due to male factors. Her past history is significant for a congenital Horseshoe kidney.

Utility of in silico prediction of target suppression for antibodies against soluble targets: static versus dynamic models.

Purpose: Antibodies that bind soluble targets such as cytokines belong to an important class of immunotherapies. Target levels can significantly accumulate after antibody administration due to formation of antibody-target complex, accompanied with suppression in free target which is often difficult to measure. Being a surrogate for pharmacodynamic activity, free target suppression is often predicted using in silico tools.

Kaposi sarcoma: What to do with a negative human herpesvirus 8 immunohistochemical stain?

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an intermediate vascular sarcoma that can cause significant morbidity and mortality in patients if left untreated. It is associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection. Definitive diagnosis is supported by classic histopathology including slit-like vascular spaces, spindle cells, lymphocyte infiltration, and extravasated red blood cells on H&E stain and positive immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for HHV-8.
