On being the Editor of the Medical Journal of Australia: Living dangerously.

Mens Sana Monogr

Emeritus Editor, Medical Journal of Australia.

Published: January 2012

Editorial independence is crucial for the viability of a journal and editors have many masters - the public, the readers, the authors and the owners. Negotiating the resultant minefield requires a purposeful and independent stance. This is particularly so in instances of a relatively modern phenomenon: concerted attempts by clinical groups to influence, or even abort, publication of articles, which may threaten their practice. Moreover, modern social media facilitates this manipulation.

Style mixup enhanced disentanglement learning for unsupervised domain adaptation in medical image segmentation.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has shown impressive performance by improving the generalizability of the model to tackle the domain shift problem for cross-modality medical segmentation. However, most of the existing UDA approaches depend on high-quality image translation with diversity constraints to explicitly augment the potential data diversity, which is hard to ensure semantic consistency and capture domain-invariant representation. In this paper, free of image translation and diversity constraints, we propose a novel Style Mixup Enhanced Disentanglement Learning (SMEDL) for UDA medical image segmentation to further improve domain generalization and enhance domain-invariant learning ability.

Objective: Treatment approaches for endometrial cancer became more personalized in the last decade, mainly due to two key advancements - sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping and molecular classification. However, their prognostic interaction remains relatively unexplored.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with endometrial cancer, who underwent surgical treatment including SLN mapping at the Bern University Hospital, Switzerland.

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for pregnant patients. A significant portion of cardiac morbidity and mortality is preventable and related to poor or delayed recognition of clinical warning signs and oversights in management. The establishment of pregnancy heart teams facilitates multidisciplinary planning to improve management of people with cardiovascular disease.
