Uterine Leiomyosarcoma: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Abstract: Tumours that fall under the category of uterine malignancies include carcinosarcomas, leiomyosarcomas, endometrial stromal sarcomas, and undifferentiated sarcomas. Of them, leiomyosarcoma is the most common subtype, while still quite uncommon—it accounts for 1% to 2% of uterine cancers. Since postmenopausal bleeding is typically present in leiomyosarcomas, prompt detection is essential for successful treatment. This case study features a 50-year-old female patient who had postmenopausal bleeding, which is a common sign …

Human Deep Skin Surface Vibration Frequency Detection from CT and DT Signals Using Genetic Algorithms
Abstract: To diagnose respiratory problems early on, a contactless, non-invasive, real-time assessment of human vibration is a crucial prerequisite. Optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) and the forced oscillation technique (FOT), are two widely utilized methodologies, depending on variations in each patient’s local chest impedance. Calibration of the devices before each measurement is hence the primary problem of these approaches. This report presents a simulation-based analysis to assess the effectiveness of the CT and …
