Combining hyperspectral imaging techniques with deep learning to aid in early pathological diagnosis of melanoma.

Background: Cutaneous melanoma, an exceedingly aggressive form of skin cancer, holds the top rank in both malignancy and mortality among skin cancers. In early stages, distinguishing malignant melanomas from benign pigmented nevi pathologically becomes a significant challenge due to their indistinguishable traits. Traditional skin histological examination techniques, largely reliant on light microscopic imagery, offer constrained information and yield low-contrast results, underscoring the necessity for swift and effective early diagnostic methodologies.

[Antithrombin III for early diagnosis of DIC in sepsis patients: a retrospective analysis with 445 patients].

Objective: To investigated the role of antithrombin III (AT-III) levels in the early diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in patients with sepsis and the predictive effect of AT-III on the development of DIC.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted. Patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University from January to December in 2015 were enrolled.
