Hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection enhances efficiency with comparable curative outcomes: a Bayesian meta-analysis, systematic review, and Monte Carlo simulation of randomized controlled trials

Background/Aims: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers accounted for 3.24 million deaths worldwide in 2022. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables en bloc resection of early neoplasms but is time-intensive and technically challenging. Hybrid ESD (H-ESD), which combines dissection...

Epidemiological Trends, Serotypic Distribution, and Forecasted Burden of Dengue in India (2010-2023): A Comprehensive Secondary Data Analysis.

BACKGROUND OBJECTIVES: Dengue fever is the world's most rapidly expanding vector-borne viral disease. India bears an estimated one-third of the global burden-a modelling-derived estimate. The epidemiological picture remains fragmented across surveillance streams with well-documen...

The AsiaPacific Geriatric Oncology Society (AGOS) conducts a monthly virtual tumour board. One of the cases discussed was a 70-year-old female with Stage IIIA endometrial cancer, multiple co-morbidities and polypharmacy. A group of experts discussed the challenges in the real wor...

Hierarchical grouped convolution and multi-scale vision transformer for uncertainty-aware early breast cancer detection using mammography

Abstract Early breast cancer detection using mammography remains challenging because existing deep learning methods often emphasize either local lesion characteristics or global contextual information, while providing limited uncertainty quantification and clinically reliable pre...
