Purpose: To analyze the national epidemiologic trends of squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva (SCCC) over 4 decades, providing the largest report on disease-specific survival (DSS) outcomes and investigating the risk of developing second primary neoplasms in these patients.

Methods: This retrospective, population-based cohort study analyzed 1,172 patients diagnosed with SCCC from January 1, 1975, through December 31, 2016. Data were extracted from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.

Nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis (NLCS) is a rare dermatological condition characterized by ectopic mature adipocytes in the dermis. The classic variety presents multiple clustered skin-colored nodules, while the solitary form is a single papule or nodule. We report the case of a 25-year-old female who presented with multiple cerebriform nodules coalescing into a large plaque over the left iliac region that developed over 17 months.

This study presents a novel privacy-preserving self-supervised (SSL) framework for COVID-19 classification from lung CT scans, utilizing federated learning (FL) enhanced with Paillier homomorphic encryption (PHE) to prevent third-party attacks during training. The FL-SSL based framework employs two publicly available lung CT scan datasets which are considered as labeled and an unlabeled dataset. The unlabeled dataset is split into three subsets which are assumed to be collected from three hospitals.

Three-dimensional bioprinting is getting enormous attention among the scientific community for its application in complex regenerative tissue engineering applications. One of the focus areas of 3-D bioprinting is Skin tissue engineering. Skin is the largest external organ and also the outer protective layer is prone to injuries due to accidents, burns, pathologic diseases like diabetes, and immobilization of patients due to other health conditions, etc.
