Background: Semantic errors result from the disruption of access either to semantics or to lexical representations. One way to determine the origins of these errors is to evaluate comprehension of words that elicit semantic errors in naming. We hypothesized that in acute stroke there are different brain regions where dysfunction results in semantic errors in both naming and comprehension versus those with semantic errors in oral naming alone.
Methods: A consecutive series of 196 patients with acute left hemispheric stroke who met inclusion criteria were evaluated with oral naming and spoken word/picture verification tasks and magnetic resonance imaging within 48 h of stroke onset. We evaluated the relationship between tissue dysfunction in 10 pre-specified Brodmann's areas (BA) and the production of coordinate semantic errors resulting from (1) semantic deficits or (2) lexical access deficits.
Results: Semantic errors arising from semantic deficits were most associated with tissue dysfunction/infarct of left BA 22. Semantic errors resulting from lexical access deficits were associated with hypoperfusion/infarct of left BA 37.
Conclusion: Our study shows that semantic errors arising from damage to distinct cognitive processes reflect dysfunction of different brain regions.

Background: Manual analysis of histopathological images is often not only time-consuming and painstaking but also prone to error from subjective evaluation criteria and human error. To address these issues, we created a fully automated workflow to enumerate jejunal crypts in a microcolony survival assay to quantify gastrointestinal damage from radiation.
Methods And Materials: After abdominal irradiation of mice, jejuna were obtained and prepared on histopathologic slides, and crypts were counted manually by trained individuals.

Background: Traditional rule-based natural language processing approaches in electronic health record systems are effective but are often time-consuming and prone to errors when handling unstructured data. This is primarily due to the substantial manual effort required to parse and extract information from diverse types of documentation. Recent advancements in large language model (LLM) technology have made it possible to automatically interpret medical context and support pathologic staging.

Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly utilized in diagnosis of skeletal deformities, while its role in treatment planning and outcome prediction of jaw corrective surgeries with 3-dimensional (3D) imaging remains underexplored.
Methods: The comprehensive search was done in PubMed, Google scholar, Semantic scholar and Cochrane Library between January 2000 and May 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies on AI applications in treatment planning and outcome prediction for jaw corrective surgeries using 3D imaging.

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide. Ischemic stroke accounts for 75-90% of all stroke incidents. Assessing the size and location of the stroke lesion is crucial for treatment decisions, especially those related to urgent vascular reconstruction surgery.
