Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody that enhances the efficacy of immune system by targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), which receptor downregulates system. Nivolumab also humanized targets another prevents activated T cells from attacking cancer; this called programmed cell death 1 (PD-1). The FDA approved ipilimumab combined with nivolumab as frontline therapy for patients metastatic melanoma or renal carcinoma and second-line microsatellite instability-high...

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a benign neoplasm that includes blood vessel proliferation and dense eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate. Mostly, it affects middle-aged adults manifesting as flesh/plum-colored pruritic nodules papules, most commonly affecting the ear periauricular area. In this case, we report 13-year-old Caucasian girl bilateral, huge, protruding, yellowish nostril masses which were peculiar in location of gross appearance. At first, disease proved to be...

Healthcare is dynamic as demographics, diseases, and therapeutics constantly evolve. This nature induces inevitable distribution shifts in populations targeted by clinical AI models, often rendering them ineffective. Incremental learning provides an effective method of adapting deployed models to accommodate these contemporary shifts. However, since incremental involves modifying a or in-use model, it can be considered unreliable any adverse modification due maliciously compromised...

Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis or Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD) is characterized by its rare occurrence. Mostly prevalent among Asian women, KFD manifests with lymphadenopathy—affecting mostly cervical and rarely generalized retroperitoneal regions—in addition to fever. It a self-limited that resolves within 1–4 months, responding remarkably glucocorticosteroids hydroxychloroquine. However, some cases prove be unresponsive the previously mentioned therapies.

Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are rare congenital anomalies. Presentation of GDCs varies from an asymptomatic abdominal mass to fulminant or massive gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Herein, we describe a case GDC in 10-month-old infant presenting with unexplained GI hemorrhage and hematemesis. An ultrasound was negative, while computerized tomography was, initially, inaccessible. Through series repeated esophagogastroduodenoscopies, documented penetration the into gastric cavity that later...

Abstract COVID-19 is unlikely to be the last pandemic that we face. According an analysis of a global dataset historical pandemics from 1600 present, risk COVID-like has been estimated as 2.63% annually or 38% lifetime probability. This rate may double over coming decades. While unable prevent future pandemics, can reduce their impact by investing in preparedness. In this study, propose RapiD_AI : framework guide use pretrained neural network models preparedness tool enable healthcare system...
