Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients, involving mainly the lungs and central nervous system; however, the skin, eyes and genitourinary tract could also be involved as secondary sites of infection. Primary cutaneo...

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious and diagnostically challenging condition. [18F]FDG PET/CT is valuable for evaluating suspected IE, but it is susceptible to motion-related artefacts. This study investigated the potential benefits of cardiac m...

The study by Chen et al. of a 56-year-old man diagnosed with acute hemorrhagic encephalomyelitis (AHEM) had a significant impact on us. The authors provided a comprehensive account of their diagnostic journey and emphasized the need to differentiate...

Skin lesions are essential for the early detection and management of a number of dermatological disorders. Learning-based methods for skin lesion analysis have drawn much attention lately because of improvements in computer vision and machine learnin...

Background and Objectives: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects both genders, but the knowledge of clinical and therapeutic aspects particular to each gender has a prognostic value, modulating the risk of amputation and helping to reduce the risk...

Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is a marker of wild-type hepatitis B virus replication. In resource-limited countries where access to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) remains a challenge, rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) constitute a good alternat...

Background: In STEMIs, the evaluation of the relationship between biomarkers of myocardial injury and patients’ prognoses has not been completely explored. Increased levels of CK-MB in patients with a STEMI undergoing primary angioplasty are kn...

Since there are no morphological clues capable of making a pathologist suspect a possible mammary origin of a metastatic lesion without adequate clinical information, the histologic diagnosis of brain metastasis from BC is still based on the immunohi...

Among the most serious types of cancer is skin cancer. Despite the risk of death, when caught early, the rate of survival is greater than 95%. This inspires researchers to explore methods that allow for the early detection of skin cancer that could s...

Since its introduction in 2016, researchers have applied the idea of Federated Learning (FL) to several domains ranging from edge computing to banking. The technique’s inherent security benefits, privacy-preserving capabilities, ease of scalabi...
