Enigma unraveled: Role of ultrasonography in tuberculous lymphadenopathy
Lymphadenopathy is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis; cervical region being the frequent affected site. Ultrasound is a useful noninvasive imaging modality in the assessment of cervical lymph nodes.

SDF-Net: A Hybrid Detection Network for Mediastinal Lymph Node Detection on Contrast CT Images [PDF]
Accurate lymph node detection and quantification are crucial for cancer diagnosis and staging on contrast-enhanced CT images, as they impact treatment planning and prognosis. However, detecting lymph nodes in the mediastinal area poses challenges due to their low contrast, irregular shapes and dispersed distribution.

Management of Cervical Lymphadenitis in Children [PDF]
Cervical lymphadenitis, defined as an acute symptomatic enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes, is a common condition in children of all ages. Most cases of cervical lymphadenitis in children are self-limited and can safely be monitored for spontaneous ...

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease
Summary Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for Rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.

Automatic breast cancer grading in lymph nodes using a deep neural network [PDF]
The progression of breast cancer can be quantified in lymph node whole-slide images (WSIs). We describe a novel method for effectively performing classification of whole-slide images and patient level breast cancer grading. Our method utilises a deep neural network.

Synchronous primary papillary breast cancer, medullary thyroid carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor in postmenopausal woman. [PDF]
Multiple endocrine neoplasia are syndromes involving two or more endocrine tissues, often correlated to RET proto-oncogene mutations. We herein present the first reported case of a 57-years-old woman with three synchronous primary cancers of breast ...

Cluster-Based Learning from Weakly Labeled Bags in Digital Pathology [PDF]
To alleviate the burden of gathering detailed expert annotations when training deep neural networks, we propose a weakly supervised learning approach to recognize metastases in microscopic images of breast lymph nodes. We describe an alternative training loss which clusters weakly labeled bags in latent space to inform relevance of patch-instances ...

The contribution of extracellular RNA and its derived biomaterials in disease management
The implications of exRNA's biological function and the structural uniqueness of RNA help establish a close connection between RNA, material, and modern medicine. Abstract The RNA found in the circular system is known as extracellular RNA (exRNA). This kind of RNA has been found to play a biological role similar to that of a messenger. They can be used

Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis as the Primary Presentation of Prostatic Cancer: A Rare Case Report
Cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes metastases generally arise from carcinomas of the head and neck. Metastases to cervical lymph nodes from the prostate are very rare.
