The authors present literature data and original findings on characteristics and frequency of hematological disorders in SLE. Marked hemopathies are called SLE masks as in primary examination of the patient systemic blood diseases are not rejected this necessitating special investigations to exclude them. A rare case of SLE debut simulating paraproteinemic hemoblastosis is reported.

Autofluorescence microscopy uses intrinsic sources of molecular contrast to provide cellular-level information without extrinsic labels. However, traditional cell segmentation tools are often optimized for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) images, such as fluorescently labeled cells, and unsurprisingly perform poorly on low SNR autofluorescence images. Therefore, new cell segmentation tools are needed for autofluorescence microscopy.

Purpose To evaluate the reproducibility of radiomics features extracted from T2-weighted MR images in patients with neuroblastoma. Materials and Methods A retrospective study included 419 patients (mean age, 29 months ± 34 [SD]; 220 male, 199 female) with neuroblastic tumors diagnosed between 2002 and 2023, within the scope of the PRedictive In-silico Multiscale Analytics to support cancer personalized diaGnosis and prognosis, Empowered by imaging biomarkers (ie, PRIMAGE) project, involving 746 T2/T2*-weighted MRI sequences at diagnosis and/or after initial chemotherapy. Images underwent processing steps (denoising, inhomogeneity bias field correction, normalization, and resampling).
