TA-Net: Topology-Aware Network for Gland Segmentation [PDF]
Gland segmentation is a critical step to quantitatively assess the morphology of glands in histopathology image analysis. However, it is challenging to separate densely clustered glands accurately. Existing deep learning-based approaches attempted to use contour-based techniques to alleviate this issue but only achieved limited success. To address this

Evaluation of AI‐based auto‐contouring tools in radiotherapy: A single‐institution study
Abstract Background Accurate delineation of organs at risk (OARs) is crucial yet time‐consuming in the radiotherapy treatment planning workflow. Modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies had made automation of OAR contouring feasible. This report details a single institution's experience in evaluating two commercial auto‐contouring software ...

A case of hypogonadtropic hypogonadism due to hypophysitis discovered by secondary male infertility
Introduction The main causes of secondary male infertility are varicocele and aging. It is rarely caused by adult‐onset hypopituitarism. The onset of hypopituitarism is often due to brain tumors, trauma, surgery, or congenital disorders. Case presentation A 29‐year‐old man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of decreased libido and semen ...

The 'incidentaloma' of the pituitary gland. Is neurosurgery required? [PDF]
We describe a series of 18 patients with an intrasellar mass incidentally discovered by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The average size of the mass was 13 mm, with a range from 5 to 25 mm.

Involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and its interaction with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the ontogeny of avian thermoregulation: a review [PDF]
The emergence of thermoregulation in avian species is a complex matter in which neural as well as hormonal processes are involved. In a previous paper, the neural aspects of primary avian thermoregulation were discussed.

Morphology-inspired Unsupervised Gland Segmentation via Selective Semantic Grouping [PDF]
Designing deep learning algorithms for gland segmentation is crucial for automatic cancer diagnosis and prognosis, yet the expensive annotation cost hinders the development and application of this technology. In this paper, we make a first attempt to explore a deep learning method for unsupervised gland segmentation, where no manual annotations are ...

Presence of CD3+ and CD79a+ lymphocytes in the pituitary gland of dogs at post-mortem examination [PDF]
Hypophysitis has been reported occasionally in dogs, with most cases resembling primary lymphocytic hypo-physitis in man. Although it is generally assumed that lymphocytes are not present normally in the canine pi-tuitary gland, few studies have ...

Relation among Aromatase P450 and Tumoral Growth in Human Prolactinomas [PDF]
[EN]The pituitary gland is part of hypothalamic-pituitary–gonadal axis, which controls development, reproduction, and aging in humans and animals. In addition, the pituitary gland is regulated mainly by hormones and neurotransmitters released from the ...
