Optimizing Brain Tumor Classification: A Comprehensive Study on Transfer Learning and Imbalance Handling in Deep Learning Models [PDF]
Deep learning has emerged as a prominent field in recent literature, showcasing the introduction of models that utilize transfer learning to achieve remarkable accuracies in the classification of brain tumor MRI images. However, the majority of these proposals primarily focus on balanced datasets, neglecting the inherent data imbalance present in real ...

Acromegaly: pathogenesis & treatment [PDF]
Acromegaly is a multi-system disorder whose etiology is most often traced back to a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Growth hormone (GH) secretion promotes insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) release from peripheral tissues, leading to ...

A rare cause of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax: Birt-hogg-dube syndrome [PDF]
Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome is an unusual disorder characterized by the triad of cutaneous lesions, renal tumors and lung cysts. In cases with BHD syndrome, the frequency of recurrent pneumothorax is increased due to presence of multiple lung cysts. It

An L2-Normalized Spatial Attention Network For Accurate And Fast Classification Of Brain Tumors In 2D T1-Weighted CE-MRI Images [PDF]
We propose an accurate and fast classification network for classification of brain tumors in MRI images that outperforms all lightweight methods investigated in terms of accuracy. We test our model on a challenging 2D T1-weighted CE-MRI dataset containing three types of brain tumors: Meningioma, Glioma and Pituitary.

Temozolomide and Pituitary Tumors: Current Understanding, Unresolved Issues, and Future Directions
Temozolomide, an alkylating agent, initially used in the treatment of gliomas was expanded to include pituitary tumors in 2006. After 12 years of use, temozolomide has shown a notable advancement in pituitary tumor treatment with a remarkable improvement

Pituitary Adenoma Segmentation [PDF]
Sellar tumors are approximately 10-15% among all intracranial neoplasms. The most common sellar lesion is the pituitary adenoma. Manual segmentation is a time-consuming process that can be shortened by using adequate algorithms. In this contribution, we present a segmentation method for pituitary adenoma.

Physicians' awareness of gadolinium retention and MRI timing practices in the longitudinal management of pituitary tumors::a "Pituitary Society" survey [PDF]
PURPOSE: In view of mounting attention related to possible brain retention of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in patients with normal renal function, our purpose was to detail results from a survey of pituitary experts to assess: 1) the timing ...
