Published: January 2020

Biomedical scientists and clinicians often require customized and user-friendly software tools due to the unavailability of specific software, complexity of existing software or high cost of commercial software. This editorial provides a short update on recently published task-oriented biomedical software tools. The novelty and applications of some customized software tools including CALCFISHER, CALCNTCP, CALCDOSE, and SCEW are also summarized in this editorial.

Background: Digital biomarkers are increasingly used in clinical decision support for various health conditions. Speech features as digital biomarkers can offer insights into underlying physiological processes due to the complexity of speech production. This process involves respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonance, all of which rely on specific motor systems for the preparation and execution of speech.

Background: Anakinra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). Since IL-1 has been shown to play a key role in the etiology of different autoinflammatory diseases, blocking its pathway has become an important therapeutic target, even in neonates.

Aims: We aimed to report our experience in using anakinra to treat specific neonatal inflammatory conditions.

Enhancing safety in CT-guided lung biopsies: correlation of MinIP imaging with pneumothorax risk prediction.

Insights Imaging

January 2025

Department of Diagnostic, Interventional and Paediatric Radiology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate whether minimum-intensity projection (MinIP) images could predict complications in CT-guided lung biopsies.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 72 procedures from January 2019 to December 2023, categorizing patients by pneumothorax and the severity of hemorrhage (grade 2 or higher). Radiodensity measurements were performed using lung window (LW) and MinIP (10-mm slab) images.

Background: This retrospective study aims to evaluate the impact of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) application on diagnostic accuracy and confidence in interstitial lung disease (ILD) assessment using high-resolution computed tomography CT (HRCT).

Methods: Twenty-eight patients with verified pattern-based ILD diagnoses were split into two equal datasets (1 and 2). The images were assessed by two radiology residents (3rd and 5th year) and one expert radiologist in four sessions.

Risk factors for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation: a meta-analysis.

Egypt Heart J

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Lianyungang No 1 People's Hospital, No. 6 East Zhenhua Road, Haizhou District, Lianyungang, 222061, Jiangsu, China.

Background: The rate at which atrial fibrillation (AF) patients experience a return of symptoms after catheter ablation is significant, and there are multiple risk factors involved. This research intends to perform a meta-analysis to explore the risk factors connected to the recurrence of AF in patients following catheter ablation.

Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, WOS, Embase, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were explored for studies from January 1, 2000 to August 10, 2021, and research meeting the established inclusion requirements was chosen.
