Background & Aims: Biliary abnormalities in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and interface hepatitis in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) occur frequently, and misinterpretation may lead to therapeutic mistakes with a negative impact on patients. This study investigates the use of a deep learning (DL)-based pipeline for the diagnosis of AIH and PBC to aid differential diagnosis.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter study across six European referral centers, and built a library of digitized liver biopsy slides dating from 1997 to 2023.

Objectives: Chronic otitis media (COM) is a prevalent condition affecting auditory function. Ossiculoplasty is a known treatment strategy, but its effectiveness concerning the presence of cholesteatoma has not been extensively studied.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre study involving 153 patients diagnosed with COM without cholesteatoma (ncCOM) and with cholesteatoma (cCOM).

Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women, and its prevention relies on vaccination and screening methods that require specialized equipment and multiple professionals.
- A central laboratory processes cervical samples from over 51 clinics, performing automated HPV testing and preparing liquid-based cytology slides for digital examination using whole-slide images (WSIs).
- The study found that while subjective confidence in diagnosing with WSIs was lower and perceived difficulty was higher, the diagnostic accuracy between conventional and digital methods remained similar, indicating moderate interobserver agreement regardless of the examination method used.
