DICOM is today's de-facto standard for exchanging medical images. Since new image acquisition devices produce more and more image and non-image data, image compression has become an important part of the standard. However, the compression of non-pixel data also stored in DICOM data sets has been disregarded up to now. In the scope of an EU research project we have examined a large amount of real-world DICOM images to test whether or not there is a potential for compressing the non-pixel attributes. Especially for use with narrow-band networks extensions as proposed in this paper could be a solution to save valuable bandwidth.

Background: Ritlecitinib demonstrated efficacy in a phase 2b trial of nonsegmental vitiligo.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of ritlecitinib with add-on narrow-band ultraviolet B (nbUVB) phototherapy in patients with nonsegmental vitiligo.
Methods: Following a 24-week, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging period, patients received ritlecitinib 200 mg for 4 weeks then 50 mg for 20 weeks, with or without nbUVB phototherapy 2x/week.

Introduction: The early detection of esophageal cancer is crucial to enhancing patient survival rates, and endoscopy remains the gold standard for identifying esophageal neoplasms. Despite this fact, accurately diagnosing superficial esophageal neoplasms poses a challenge, even for seasoned endoscopists. Recent advancements in computer-aided diagnostic systems, empowered by artificial intelligence (AI), have shown promising results in elevating the diagnostic precision for early-stage esophageal cancer.

Narrow Band-Wireless Wide Area Networking (NB-WWAN) technologies are becoming more popular across a wide range of application domains due to their ability to provide spatially distributed and reliable wireless connectivity in addition to offering low data rates, low bandwidth, long-range, and long battery life. For functional testing and performance assessments, the wide range of wireless technology alternatives within this category poses several difficulties. At the device level, it is necessary to address issues such as resource limitations, complex protocols, interoperability, and reliability, while at the network level, challenges include complex topologies and wireless channel/signal propagation problems.

Closed-loop neuromodulation, especially using the phase of the electroencephalography (EEG) rhythm to assess the real-time brain state and optimize the brain stimulation process, is becoming a hot research topic. Because the EEG signal is non-stationary, the commonly used EEG phase-based prediction methods have large variances, which may reduce the accuracy of the phase prediction. In this study, we proposed a machine learning-based EEG phase prediction network, which we call EEG phase prediction network (EPN), to capture the overall rhythm distribution pattern of subjects and map the instantaneous phase directly from the narrow-band EEG data.
