HASA: Hybrid Architecture Search with Aggregation Strategy for Echinococcosis Classification and Ovary Segmentation in Ultrasound Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Different from handcrafted features, deep neural networks can automatically learn task-specific features from data. Due to this data-driven nature, they have achieved remarkable success in various areas. However, manual design and selection of suitable network architectures are time-consuming and require substantial effort of human experts.

Confirmed Autochthonous Case of Human Alveolar Echinococcosis, Italy, 2023

Emerging Infectious Diseases
In September 2023, a patient in Italy who had never traveled abroad was referred for testing for suspected hepatic cystic echinococcosis. Lesions were incompatible with cystic echinococcosis; instead, autochthonous alveolar echinococcosis was confirmed.

Alveolar Echinococcosis in a Patient with Presumed Autoimmune Hepatitis and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: An Unexpected Finding after Liver Transplantation

Pathogens, 2023
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is an important reason for liver transplantation. Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by Echinococcus multilocularis and presents characteristic calcified conglomerates detected by ultrasound or computed ...

An exceptional case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis in a domestic cat in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
A case of peritoneal cystic echinococcosis (CE) in a domestic cat was reported from Queensland, Australia. Physical examination of the cat indicated a large, distended abdomen, which when palpated appeared to be fluid‐filled. Ultrasonography showed numerous cysts with hyperechoic walls and anechoic contents within the cat's abdominal cavity.

Fully Automated Deep Learning-enabled Detection for Hepatic Steatosis on Computed Tomography: A Multicenter International Validation Study [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Despite high global prevalence of hepatic steatosis, no automated diagnostics demonstrated generalizability in detecting steatosis on multiple international datasets. Traditionally, hepatic steatosis detection relies on clinicians selecting the region of interest (ROI) on computed tomography (CT) to measure liver attenuation. ROI selection demands time

Cystic echinococcosis due to Echinococcus equinus in a Swiss donkey

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page e71-e76, April 2025.
Summary A 22‐year‐old donkey (Equus asinus) mare was presented for investigation of a 3‐day history of lethargy and anorexia. Serum biochemistry profile revealed severe increased liver‐derived enzymes. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated several large round cysts in the liver.

Mathematical model of immune response to hepatitis B [PDF]

J. Theor. Biol. 447, 98-110 (2018), 2018
A new detailed mathematical model for dynamics of immune response to hepatitis B is proposed, which takes into account contributions from innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as cytokines. Stability analysis of different steady states is performed to identify parameter regions where the model exhibits clearance of infection, maintenance of a ...

Rapid Growth of a Hepatic Hydatid Cyst in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report From Iran and Its Clinical Significance

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Hepatic hydatid cysts in pediatric patients present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their rapid growth and potential to mimic other pathologies. This case highlights the importance of considering hydatid disease in the differential diagnosis of hepatic cysts, especially in children from endemic regions.
