Changes occurring in oncology subject matter in an undergraduate medical curriculum over a 5-year period were documented using the tracer method of curriculum analysis. The tracer method is an empirical approach somewhat analogous to tracing one thread through a tapestry, as a way of following a subject matter interwoven throughout a curriculum. Advantages of the method can be to bring particular material to the attention of teaching staff and students, to facilitate more efficient instruction, and to introduce peer review of educational material.

Generative artificial intelligence enables the generation of bone scintigraphy images and improves generalization of deep learning models in data-constrained environments.

Purpose: Advancements of deep learning in medical imaging are often constrained by the limited availability of large, annotated datasets, resulting in underperforming models when deployed under real-world conditions. This study investigated a generative artificial intelligence (AI) approach to create synthetic medical images taking the example of bone scintigraphy scans, to increase the data diversity of small-scale datasets for more effective model training and improved generalization.
Methods: We trained a generative model on Tc-bone scintigraphy scans from 9,170 patients in one center to generate high-quality and fully anonymized annotated scans of patients representing two distinct disease patterns: abnormal uptake indicative of (i) bone metastases and (ii) cardiac uptake indicative of cardiac amyloidosis.
Development of a novel molecular probe for visualizing mesothelin on the tumor via positron emission tomography.

Objectives: Mesothelin (MSLN) is an antigen that is overexpressed in various cancers, and its interaction with tumor-associated cancer antigen 125 plays a multifaceted role in tumor metastasis. The serum MSLN expression level can be detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; however, non-invasive visualization of its expression at the tumor site is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a molecular probe for imaging MSLN expression through positron emission tomography (PET).

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that is marked by profound neurovascular dysfunction and significant cell-specific alterations in the brain vasculature. Recent advances in high throughput single-cell transcriptomics technology have enabled the study of the human brain vasculature at an unprecedented depth. Additionally, the understudied niche of cerebrovascular cells, such as endothelial and mural cells, and their subtypes have been scrutinized for understanding cellular and transcriptional heterogeneity in AD.

The increasing emphasis on risk management and quality assessment in hospital management necessitates strict adherence to government and international standards. Those standards are particularly important, and certification requirements further underscore this need. The objective of this paper is to outline the application of the INTegrated Audit Model in a Comprehensive Cancer Center.
