Comparison of EUS-guided tissue acquisition using two different 19-gauge core biopsy needles: a multicenter, prospective, randomized, and blinded study [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The optimal core biopsy needle for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is unknown. The principle aim of this study is to compare outcomes of EUS-fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) with a new 19-gauge EUS histology needle (ProCore, Cook ...

Fine-needle biopsy of hamartomas of the lung [PDF]
Hamartomas are unexpectedly detected in asymptomatic patients, in mass surveys, general health examinations, and chest radiographs for other reasons. They often present a difficult problem both for the radiologist and the referring clinician, as their differentiation from lung carcinoma or a metastasis may be impossible by radiography.

Markers for internal neoplasia in the horse
The measurement of tumour markers in horses should be performed only in risk groups or in patients with suspicious clinical/laboratory findings (paraneoplastic syndromes). The results should be interpreted with caution as many factors (e.g., young age, pregnancy and inflammation) affect their concentration or activity.

Framework for 3D TransRectal Ultrasound [PDF]
Prostate biopsies are mainly performed under 2D TransRectal UltraSound (TRUS) control by sampling the prostate according to a predefined pattern. In case of first biopsies, this pattern follows a random systematic plan. Sometimes, repeat biopsies can be needed to target regions unsampled by previous biopsies or resample critical regions (for example in

Gold-standard of HER2 breast cancer biopsies using supervised learning based on multiple pathologist annotations [PDF]
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in women around the world. For diagnosis, pathologists evaluate biomarkers such as HER2 protein using immunohistochemistry over tissue extracted by a biopsy. Through microscopic inspection, this assessment estimates the intensity and integrity of the membrane cells' staining and scores the sample as 0, 1+,

In this study, by mimicking the nanofiber structure and netting blood cells function of fibrin network in blood clots, we developed a novel bioinspired quaternized chitosan nanofiber sponge with distinct blood cell filtration and blood plasma absorption bifunction for rapid hemostasis.

Skeletal muscle dissemination in a dog with T‐cell lymphoma
Skeletal muscles metastases are considered quite rare in small animals. When it occurs, muscle metastases typically involve paravertebral muscle and hind limb. Whole‐body CT is of paramount importance in patients affected by neoplasms with potential systemic metastases.

Artificial Intelligence-based Eosinophil Counting in Gastrointestinal Biopsies [PDF]
Normally eosinophils are present in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of healthy individuals. When the eosinophils increase beyond their usual amount in the GI tract, a patient gets varied symptoms. Clinicians find it difficult to diagnose this condition called eosinophilia. Early diagnosis can help in treating patients.
