Tuberculosis is a common disease in India but even then Primary tuberculosis of Thyroid gland is an extremely rare clinical scenario. Diagnosis of this rare disease requires very high level of clinical suspicion as the clinical features have no distinct characteristics and usually mimic with bacterial thyroiditis, thyrotoxicosis, thyroid carcinoma, lymphoma etc. Historically most of patients were diagnosed through histopathology in post operative thyroidectomy specimens. Here we present a case of primary tuberculosis of thyroid which was initially suspected to be a case of deep neck space abscess and was diagnosed by cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) through fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of gland.

Medical image segmentation is a critical aspect of medical image analysis, particularly in the realm of medical image processing. While the UNet architecture is widely acknowledged for its effectiveness in medical image segmentation, it falls short in fully harnessing inherent advantages and utilising contextual data efficiently. In response, this research introduces an architecture named Deep Atrous Attention UNet (DAA-UNet), incorporating the attention module and Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) module in UNet.

Background: Amidst a global resurgence of diphtheria cases with numerous outbreaks recorded worldwide since 2000, a better understanding of this vaccine-preventable disease's circulation is needed.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed sera from 2 sero-epidemiological cross-sectional studies in Madagascar and Cambodia on fully primo-vaccinated 3- to 15-year-olds. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and seroneutralization (Vero Cell TNT) for the 3- to 8-year-olds with low ELISA titration values (<0.

Background: Current guidelines for the treatment of multidrug-resistant/rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) are based on clinical trials evaluating fixed duration regimens. However, when a regimen succeeds, it remains unknown whether a shorter duration could yield the same results. Similarly, if a regimen fails, it is unclear whether extending the treatment could improve outcomes.
