Interactive user interface based on Convolutional Auto-encoders for annotating CT-scans [PDF]
High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the most important imaging modality for interstitial lung diseases, where the radiologists are interested in identifying certain patterns, and their volumetric and regional distribution. The use of machine learning can assist the radiologists with both these tasks by performing semantic segmentation.

This study aimed to investigate survival outcomes, the efficacy of lymph node (LN) dissection, and recurrence patterns in 69 patients who underwent R0 salvage surgery for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Of note, abdominal LN metastases had a negative impact on survival in our series.

Silicosarcoidosis: Histologic and Clinical Features of an Occupational Granulomatous Disease
ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Growing evidence indicates that occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) is associated with an increased incidence of sarcoidosis. Yet a diagnosis of sarcoidosis rarely prompts investigation to identify preventable exposures.

The hypothesis diagram illustrates the function and mechanism of circNR3C2: circNR3C2 overexpression can up‐regulate COL2, Aggrecan and SOX9 expression, and regulate chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs by targeting hsa‐miR‐647. Abstract Background Human adipose‐derived stem cells (hADSCs) are seed cells with application prospects in cartilage repair.

Diff-Lung: Diffusion-Based Texture Synthesis for Enhanced Pathological Tissue Segmentation in Lung CT Scans [PDF]
Accurate quantification of the extent of lung pathological patterns (fibrosis, ground-glass opacity, emphysema, consolidation) is prerequisite for diagnosis and follow-up of interstitial lung diseases. However, segmentation is challenging due to the significant class imbalance between healthy and pathological tissues. This paper addresses this issue by
