The study aims the determination of the CT-scan protocol for the proper assessment of pancreatic tumors respectability. The goal of the CT-scan is a proper visualization of the tumor spread onto the surgically important vessels of the hepatopancreatobiliary zone and remote metastases verification. The diagnostic algorithm of the pancreatic cancer is based on the analysis of the variety of cases and diagnostic means.

As photobiomodulation is growing in the dental field the aim of this prospective, two-arm clinical trial was to assess the radiographic changes for chronic periapical bone lesions related to mandibular molars after primary root canal therapy with or without applying Diode laser on soft tissue. The samples were randomly divided into a Laser group and a mock laser (ML) group. Preoperative CBCT images were compared 12 months later with postoperative CBCT to gauge the changes in the volume of the bony lesion by two observers.

Objective: With the wide use of CT scan in clinical practice, more lung cancer was diagnosed in resectable stage. Pathological examination and genetic testing have become a routine procedure for lung adenocarcinoma following radical resection. This study analyzed special pathological components and gene mutations to explore their relationship with clinical characteristics and overall survival.

Background: Primary pulmonary Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a sporadic disease with a favorable prognosis. Particularly, pulmonary MALT lymphoma coexisting with lung cancer is not only rare but also prone to misdiagnosis. The clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of this co-occurrence, however, remain poorly understood.

Background: Reports of autoimmune diseases coexisting with autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (autoimmune PAP; APAP) are extremely rare. APAP coexisting with autoimmune diseases may often be misdiagnosed as connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD). Here, we describe a rare case of a patient with systemic sclerosis who was diagnosed with APAP after the exacerbation of lung opacities during treatment with immunosuppressive agents.

Objective: To develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning radiomics model to predict treatment response and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) treated with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)-hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) combined with PD-1 inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
Methods: This retrospective study included 172 patients with uHCC who underwent combination therapy of TACE-HAIC with TKIs and PD-1 inhibitors. Among them, 122 were from the Interventional Department of the Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital, with 92 randomly assigned to the training cohort and 30 cases randomly assigned to the testing cohort.
