Classification of Pulmonary Nodules Using Multimodal Feature‐Driven Graph Convolutional Networks with Specificity Proficiency

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The radiomics feature could save the storage space of all medical samples; on the other hand, it avoids data leakage. Graph convolutional neural networks could summarize the similarity of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules to improve the performance in distinguishing them with radiomics and common clinical features.

Management of malignant pleural effusions [PDF]

Thorax, 2000
Malignant pleural effusion is a common problem in respiratory medicine and oncology and in some series accounts for up to 50% of all pleural effusions.1 2 The median survival following diagnosis ranges from three to 12 months and is largely dependent upon the underlying malignancy.

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Summary Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for Rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.
