Port Site Metastasis after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - Case Report
Abstract: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a gold standard procedure for gall stone disease. Incidence of gall bladder cancer is found in about 0.25-0.3% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Patients with a preoperatively undiagnosed adenocarcinoma of the gall bladder in situ have a high incidence of recurrence at the port site. Incidence increases when a gall bladder perforation occurs during its extraction. Incidence is as high about 14%. Here we report a case of …

Evaluating the Role of Arterial Duplex Ultrasound in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients with Normal Ankle Brachial Pressure Index and Peripheral Pulses
Abstract: Background: Requesting a arterial duplex scan has been a recent trend in management of diabetic foot ulcer, as it is considered the gold standard modality of investigation for diagnosing peripheral arterial diseases. Nevertheless, increased burden of the diabetic foot ulcer patients and limited availability of the facilities and trained radiologists prompts us to use this investigation judiciously. Most of the studies focus on role of abnormal ABPI as a predictor …

Automated Evaluation of Descriptive Answers
Abstract: This paper offers a smarter system of automatic evaluation of descriptive responses in educational tests. The time-consuming aspect of testing with traditional manual marking, the subjectivity of that process, and the impossibility of scaling it makes it inapplicable, particularly to large academic environments. To resolve the issues, the proposed solution combines the methods of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and hybrid image-text processing on the responses of handwriting and typed answers. …

Gold Nanoparticle Size, Biodistribution, and Toxicity: Insights from DualEnergy CT
Abstract: Dual-energy and spectral computed tomography (CT) have emerged as powerful platforms for noninvasive, quantitative mapping of nanoparticle biodistribution in vivo. By exploiting the energy-dependent attenuation profiles of high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials, these systems enable material decomposition and element-specific imaging, thereby distinguishing nanoparticle signals from those of soft tissues and conventional iodinated contrast agents. Photon-counting spectral CT further enhances this capability by binning individual photons into multiple energy channels, improving spatial resolution, …
