Role of EBUS-TBNA in Non-Neoplastic Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy: Review of Literature
Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is a condition in which one or more mediastinal lymph nodes are enlarged for malignant or benign causes, generally more than 10 mm.

The value of cytologic diagnostics in fast intraoperative diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy and pulmonary and mediastinal tumors [PDF]
Extemporary (EXT) analysis is unavoidable in establishing the tumor diagnosis, operability and the extent of the operation. Alternative approach is cytologic analysis which, because of its simple methodology, provides results even faster.

Machine learning in the prediction of cardiac epicardial and mediastinal fat volumes [PDF]
We propose a methodology to predict the cardiac epicardial and mediastinal fat volumes in computed tomography images using regression algorithms. The obtained results indicate that it is feasible to predict these fats with a high degree of correlation, thus alleviating the requirement for manual or automatic segmentation of both fat volumes.

Sex differences in lymphoma incidence and mortality by subtype: A population‐based study
A higher incidence and a trend toward higher mortality in men for most lymphoma subtypes is seen in this Swedish population‐based cohort study on adults (age 18‐99) diagnosed with lymphoma 2000‐2019. Male‐to‐female incidence rate ratio (IRR) by male‐to‐female excess mortality ratio (EMR), both adjusted for age and year of diagnosis, by lymphoma subtype.

Mediastinal mass and hydatid disease [PDF]
### Learning Point for Clinicians This case serves to highlight that cardiac and mediastinal hydatid disease can occur without overt liver or lung involvement, and that echinococcosis of the mediastinum may mimic many other diseases. A 50-year-old female presented with a non-productive cough. She was a non-smoker and reported no other symptoms.

Abstract Direct comparisons of the effectiveness of the numerous novel therapies in the diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treatment landscape in a range of head‐to‐head randomized phase 3 trials would be time‐consuming and costly. Comparative effectiveness studies using real‐world data (RWD) represent a complementary approach.

A case of Rosai-Dorfman’s disease as isolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy: a diagnostic challenge
Background Mediastinal lymphadenopathy is seen in a variety of diseases, like tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and metastasis. The diagnosis can be confirmed by tissue sampling with endobronchial ultrasound and transbronchial needle aspirate.

Deep learning-based lung segmentation and automatic regional template in chest X-ray images for pediatric tuberculosis [PDF]
Tuberculosis (TB) is still considered a leading cause of death and a substantial threat to global child health. Both TB infection and disease are curable using antibiotics. However, most children who die of TB are never diagnosed or treated. In clinical practice, experienced physicians assess TB by examining chest X-rays (CXR).

Mediastinal Lymph Node Detection and Segmentation Using Deep Learning [PDF]
Automatic lymph node (LN) segmentation and detection for cancer staging are critical. In clinical practice, computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging detect abnormal LNs. Despite its low contrast and variety in nodal size and form, LN segmentation remains a challenging task.

Objective: Newly arising enlarged or hypermetabolic mediastinal/hilar lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with previously diagnosed extrathoracic malignancies raise suspicion of metastasis.
