University of Tunis El Manar, Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, Laboratory of Biophysics and Medical Technologies (Higher Institute of Medical Technologies of Tunis), Department of Nuclear Medicine, Salah Azaiez Institute, Tunis, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- - The integration of AI in lung cancer management aims to enhance diagnostic and treatment strategies by automatically segmenting lung tumors and classifying lung cancer using PET/CT imaging.
- - A modified ResNet-50 model was utilized for accurate tumor segmentation, producing 3D models that help visualize tumor boundaries for better treatment planning.
- - The study's AI framework showed strong performance in classifying T stages of lung tumors, which is crucial for determining treatment options and assessing prognosis, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Immunometabolism mRNA expression phenotypes and reprogramming of CD14 in T2DM with or without CVD.

Background/aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have a significant impact on the expression of genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The primary objective of this study was to investigate the role of two signaling pathways, STAT1/6, and two important modulators of immunometabolism, leptin and PPARs, in the development of T2DM with and without CVD. Furthermore, the study aimed to assess the correlation between these factors and the dynamics of CD14 in PBMCs.

Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, University of Tunis El Manar, 1007, Tunis, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma (SMARCA4-DTS) is a new and aggressive form of sarcoma diagnosed in a 44-year-old man after he had surgery for a perforated small intestine.
- A CT scan showed a mass in the mediastinum and lungs, and histopathological tests revealed a malignant tumor with specific cell types and significant necrosis.
- The confirmation of SMARCA4-DTS was made through extensive immunohistochemistry, highlighting the need to include this diagnosis when examining tumors with similar features, particularly in patients with metastasis and thoracic masses.
Mucin-1 expression and localization in epithelial cells shows characteristic and distinct patterns in inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer.

Alterations in colonic mucus secretion are linked to the induction and maintenance of inflammation during inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its progression to colorectal cancer (CRC). MUC1, a multifunctional glycoprotein, is the best studied cell surface mucin in mouse models of IBD and CRC. However, little information on MUC1 expression and localization in different types of pathologic human colon mucosa is available.
