The use of computer-generated slides in weekly didactic conferences and at regional and national meetings is commonplace. Though adding a professional look, the expense of computer-generated slides can be prohibitive. We herein present a simple technique for generating color slides that captures the professional look of computer-generated slides at a fraction of the cost.

Background: Accurate risk stratification is critical to guide management decisions in localized prostate cancer (PCa). Previously, we had developed and validated a multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI) model generated from digital histopathology and clinical features. Here, we externally validate this model on men with high-risk or locally advanced PCa treated and followed as part of a phase 3 randomized control trial.

Background: Control efforts against soil-transmitted helminths focus on preventive chemotherapy with albendazole and mebendazole, however these drugs yield unsatisfactory results against Trichuris trichiura infections. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of moxidectin and albendazole compared with ivermectin and albendazole against T trichiura in adolescents living on Pemba Island, Tanzania.

Methods: This open-label, non-inferiority, randomised, controlled, phase 2/3 trial was done in four secondary schools (Kilindi, Kwale, Ndagoni [Chake Chake District], and Kiuyu [Wete District]) on Pemba Island, Tanzania.

Augmented-reality-guided insertion of sliding hip screw guidewire: a preclinical investigation.

From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal General Hospital, Montréal, Que. (Laverdière, Corban, Ge, Kang, Harvey, Martineau, Reindl); and the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, McGill University, Montréal, Que. (Noel).

Background: The sliding hip screw (SHS) is frequently used in the management of hip fractures; successful placement depends on accurate positioning of the lag screw in the femoral head guided by fluoroscopy. We proposed to leverage the capabilities of augmented reality (AR) to overlay virtual images of the desired guidewire trajectory directly onto the surgical field to guide the surgeon during SHS guidewire insertion.

Methods: Using a commercially available AR headset and software, we performed preprocedural planning using computed tomography scans to identify the optimal trajectory for SHS guidewire insertion in the neck of a Sawbones femur model.

The role of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as a biomarker to predict disease progression and clinical outcomes has generated tremendous interest in translational cancer research. We present an updated and enhanced deep learning workflow to classify 50x50 um tiled image patches (100x100 pixels at 20x magnification) as TIL positive or negative based on the presence of 2 or more TILs in gigapixel whole slide images (WSIs) from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). This workflow generates TIL maps to study the abundance and spatial distribution of TILs in 23 different types of cancer.

This study aimed to clarify whether the pattern recognition involved in scoring proliferation fractions can be trained by abstract computerized images of virtual tissues. Twenty computer-generated images with randomly distributed blue or red dots were scored by 12 probands (all co-workers or collaborators of the Institute of Pathology, University of Bonn). Afterward, the probands underwent a training phase during which they received an immediate feedback on the actual rate of positivity after each image.
