Brain Tumor Segmentation Network Using Attention-based Fusion and Spatial Relationship Constraint [PDF]
Delineating the brain tumor from magnetic resonance (MR) images is critical for the treatment of gliomas. However, automatic delineation is challenging due to the complex appearance and ambiguous outlines of tumors. Considering that multi-modal MR images can reflect different tumor biological properties, we develop a novel multi-modal tumor ...

Introduction Well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of the kidney are rare and generally less aggressive than renal cell carcinoma, although metastasis is still present at the time of diagnosis. Surgical resection remains the preferred treatment, even in cases with lymph node metastases.

Consumption of antifungals showed a declining trend, with the highest consumption of oral voriconazole (mean DOT/1000 pt. days 18653.49) and oral fluconazole (mean DOT/1000 pt. days 15258.14). Candida albicans was the most isolated pathogen 768 (53.60%) and among all Candida species, major resistance was found in Candida tropicalis 58 (4.05%).

Metastatic renal carcinoid: To skin, lungs, and pancreas
Carcinoid tumors rarely originate in the urogenital system. We represent a unique case of primary renal carcinoid tumor which was initially diagnosed as renal cell cancer and 10 years later correctly diagnosed as metastatic renal carcinoid.

Cancer and nonextensive statistics [PDF]
We propose a new model of cancer growth based on nonextensive entropy. The evolution equation depends on the nonextensive parameter q. The exponential, the logistic, and the Gompertz growth laws are particular cases of the generalized model. Experimental data of different tumors have been shown to correspond to all these tumor-growth laws.

Percutaneous closure of PFO in patients with reduced oxygen saturation at rest and during exercise : short- and long-term results [PDF]
Background. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a rare cause of hypoxemia and clinical symptoms of dyspnea. Due to a right-to-left shunt, desaturated blood enters the systemic circulation in a subset of patients resulting in dyspnea and a subsequent ...
