Background: Automatic segmentation of breast tumors from the ultrasound images is essential for the subsequent clinical diagnosis and treatment plan. Although the existing deep learning-based methods have achieved considerable progress in automatic segmentation of breast tumors, their performance on tumors with similar intensity to the normal tissues is still not satisfactory, especially for the tumor boundaries.
Purpose: To accurately segment the non-enhanced lesions with more accurate boundaries, a novel multilevel perception boundary-guided network (PBNet) is proposed to segment breast tumors from ultrasound images.

Background: Post bariatric hypoglycaemic (PBH) is a late complication of weight loss surgery, characterised by critically low blood glucose levels following meal-induced glycaemic excursions. The disabling consequences of PBH underline the need for the development of a decision support system (DSS) that can warn individuals about upcoming PBH events, thus enabling preventive actions to avoid impending episodes. In view of this, we developed various algorithms based on linear and deep learning models to forecast PBH episodes in the short-term.

Social networks are increasingly taking over daily life, creating a volume of unsecured data and making it very difficult to capture safe data, especially in times of crisis. This study aims to use a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based hybrid model for health monitoring and health crisis forecasting. It consists of efficiently retrieving safe content from multiple social media sources.

Foreign body insertion into the urethra is uncommonly encountered in urology practice. Such insertion can result in a myriad of problems including bleeding, infectious sequelae, urinary retention, urethral injury or rupture, and resultant urethral stricture formation. This article describes a case in which an elderly male inserted a pencil into his urethra, which subsequently became lodged and required removal under regional anesthesia in the operating theater.
