Objectives: Radiomics, a recently developed image-processing technology, holds potential in medical diagnostics. This study aimed to propose a machine-learning (ML) model and evaluate its effectiveness in detecting oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and predicting bone metastasis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Materials-methods: MRI radiomic features were extracted and analyzed to identify malignant lesions. A total of 86 patients (44 with benign lesions without bone invasion and 42 with malignant lesions with bone invasion) were included. Data and clinical information were managed using the RadCloud Platform (Huiying Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). The study employed a hand-crafted radiomics model, with the dataset randomly split into training and validation sets in an 8:2 ratio using 815 random seeds.
Results: The results revealed that the ML method support vector machine (SVM) performed best for detecting bone invasion (AUC = 0.999) in the test set. Radiomics tumor features derived from MRI are useful to predicting bone invasion from oral squamous cell carcinoma with high accuracy.
Conclusions: This study introduces an ML model utilizing SVM and radiomics to predict bone invasion in OSCC. Despite the promising results, the small sample size necessitates larger multicenter studies to validate and expand these findings.

Purpose Of Review: In this article, we describe current and newer TTR stabilizers, TTR silencers which include small interfering RNA agents (siRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, and TTR depleters, which investigates the use of monoclonal antibodies to remove amyloid fibril deposits for patients with advanced disease.
Recent Findings: Once thought to be a rare and fatal condition, increased recognition, improved non-invasive diagnostic tools, and the explosive development of novel therapies, has transformed the landscape of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Advances in cardiac imaging with respect to echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), and radionuclide bone scintigraphy has increased the diagnosis of ATTR-CM over the last twenty years.

Backgrounds And Aims: Submental skin laxity (SSL), manifesting as sagging skin and double chin, can significantly affect patients' self-perception and social interactions. While surgical treatments exist, non-invasive methods are increasingly sought for their minimal recovery time. This study assesses the safety and effectiveness of a novel microwave-based device for treating SSL, aiming to provide long-term improvements in skin tightness and appearance.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remains a significant challenge after heart transplantation, necessitating effective surveillance methods. This review centers around the role of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in CAV surveillance, given its unique capabilities to visualize and quantify CAV in comparison with other imaging modalities, including invasive coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound. CCTA has shown good diagnostic performance for detecting and monitoring CAV, exemplified by a higher sensitivity and negative predictive value compared with invasive coronary angiography.

Background: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have a powerful tumor initiation ability, which can promote the early dissemination of single disseminated tumor cells (DTCs), leading to tumor progression. SOX2, a pluripotent inducible transcription factor, is key to maintaining self-renewal and pluripotency of prostate cancer stem cells. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how SOX2 regulates DTCs dormancy and proliferation in the bone marrow microenvironment.

Purpose: Interleukin (IL)-17 expression in the periodontal ligament is associated with orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR). Seeking a convenient, rapid, and non-invasive IL-17 detection approach could help predict OIIRR. In this study, we assessed the potential of the IL-17 level in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) to be an indicator of OIIRR.
