The authors report on prenatal ultrasonic diagnosis of foetal liver cysts with a massively thickened and cystic placenta in the twenty-third week of pregnancy. Karyotyping and serological examination of foetal blood samples of the umbilical vein gave normal results. The liver cysts were tapped twice subsequently, because they displaced other foetal abdominal and thoracic organs. In the thirty-fifth week of pregnancy the foetus died due to malnutrition resulting from the changes of the placenta, the origin of which remained unclear.

In this paper, we propose a method to address the class imbalance learning in the classification of focal liver lesions (FLLs) from abdominal CT images. Class imbalance is a significant challenge in medical image analysis, making it difficult for machine learning models to learn to classify them accurately. To overcome this, we propose a class-wise combination of mixture-based data augmentation (CCDA) method that uses two mixture-based data augmentation techniques, MixUp and AugMix.

Introduction: Cystic echinococcosis is a widely endemic helminthic disease caused by infection with metacestodes (larval stage) of the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm, which is transmitted by dogs and found on every continent except Antarctica. We sought to review the life cycle, epidemiology, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment of Echinococcus granulosus of the liver.
Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted using Medline/PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and the Web of Science accessed between 1990 and 2024.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine metabolic disorder found in women of reproductive age and is characterized by both metabolic and reproductive dysfunction. Women with PCOS commonly have insulin resistance, increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, increased cardiovascular risk, hepatic steatosis, infertility, and an overall reduction in physical and psychological well-being. Several previous studies have shown a causal association between PCOS and hepatic disorders, such as chronic liver disease (CLD) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), where PCOS was identified as contributing to the hepatic features.
