    Abstract Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze and diagnose what previously could only be handled by trained medical professionals. This book gives an introduction to practical AI, focusing on real-life medical problems, how to solve them with actual code, and how to evaluate the efficacy of these solutions. You'll start by learning how to diagnose problems as ones that can and cannot be solved with AI or computer science algorithms. If you're not familiar with those algorithms, that's not a problem. You'll learn the basics of algorithms and neural networks and when each should be applied. Then you'll tackle the essential parts of basic Python programming relevant to data processing and making AI programs. The TensorFlow library alogn with Numpy and Scikit-Learn are covered, too. Once you've mastered those basic computer science concepts, you can dive into three projects with code, implementation details and explanation, and diagnostic utility analysis. These projects give you the change to explore using machine learning algorithms for diagnosing diabetes from patient data, using basic neural networks for heart disease prediction from cardiac data, and using convolutional networks for brain tumor segmentation from MRI scans The topics and projects covered not only encompass areas of the medical field where AI is already playing a major role but also are engineered to cover as much as possible of AI that is relevant to medical diagnostics. Along the way, readers can expect to learn data processing, how to conceptualize problems that can be solved by AI, and how to program solutions to problems using modern libraries, such as TensorFlow. Physicians and other healthcare professionals who can master these skills will be able to lead AI-based research and diagnostic tool development, ultimately benefiting countless patients. What You'll Learn Distinguish between problems that currently can and cannot be solved with AI Master programming concepts not familiar to physicians, such as libraries, coding, and creating and training ML models Perform dataset analysis with decision trees, SVMs, and neural networks. Who This Book Is For Physicians and other healthcare professionals curious about AI and interested in leading medical innovation initiatives. Additionally, software engineers working on healthcare related projects involving AI.

    Abstract Background: High-fidelity visualization of anatomical organs is crucial for neurosurgical education, simulation, and planning. This becomes much more important for minimally invasive neurosurgical procedures. Realistic anatomical visualization can allow resident surgeons to learn visual cues and orient themselves with the complex 3-dimensional (3D) anatomy. Achieving full fidelity in 3D medical visualization is an active area of research; however, the prior reviews focus on the application area and lack the underlying technical principles. Accordingly, the present study attempts to bridge this gap by providing a narrative review of the techniques used for 3D visualization.
    Methods: We conducted a literature review on 3D medical visualization technology from 2018 to 2023 using the PubMed and Google Scholar search engines. The cross-referenced manuscripts were extensively studied to find literature that discusses technology relevant to 3D medical visualization. We also compiled and ran software applications that were accessible to us in order to better understand them.
    Results: We present the underlying fundamental technology used in 3D medical visualization in the context of neurosurgical education, simulation, and planning. Further, we discuss and categorize a few important applications based on the 3D visualization techniques they use.
    Conclusions: The visualization of virtual human organs has not yet achieved a level of realism close to reality. This gap is largely due to the interdisciplinary nature of this research, population diversity, and validation complexities. With the advancements in computational resources and automation of 3D visualization pipelines, next-gen applications may offer enhanced medical 3D visualization fidelity.

    Abstract Background: Minimally invasive neurosurgery poses several challenges to surgeons due to constrained working environment, and its implications on the surgical outcome are an area of growing concern. The instrument handle design directly affects surgeon's performance, and the conventional ring handle causes ergonomic discomfort.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to design and validate a palm grasping-based ergonomic handle for skull-base neuroendoscopic instruments.
    Materials and methods: The handle was designed based on the palm grasping technique and to naturally match the contours of hand. The ergonomic handle was fabricated and assembled with the end-effector of biopsy forceps. Fifteen participants with no experience of neuroendoscopic procedures validated the ergonomic handle. During data collection, participants performed the ring transfer task on straight, right tilt (+30°) and left tilt (-30°) of activity plates of neuro-endo-trainer (NET) with 0° and 30° endoscopes.
    Results: Feedback from participants indicated that there was significant improvement in degree of discomfort in performing the task on straight (P = 0.006) and tilted plate (P = 0.001) and degree of pain (0.0001) using the ergonomic handle. Furthermore, video analysis of the performed task shows that there was statistical improvement in hitting events (P = 0.001, P = 0.04), tugging events (P = 0.00001, P = 0.00001,) and picking attempts (P = 0.04, P = 0.0004) on straight and tilted plates, respectively. There was reduction in ring drop, jerk, and average moving time, but results were not significant.
    Conclusion: The subjective validation of ergonomic handle by neurosurgeons shows that the designed handle offers ergonomic advantages. Objective validation by video analysis shows that the ergonomic handle results in better task performance on NET surgical trainer.

    Abstract Cellular heterogeneity in cell populations of isogenic origin is driven by intrinsic factors such as stochastic gene expression, as well as external factors like nutrient availability and interactions with neighbouring cells. Heterogeneity promotes population fitness and thus has important implications in antimicrobial and anticancer treatments, where stress tolerance plays a significant role. Here, we study plasmid retention dynamics within a population of plasmid-complemented ura3∆0 yeast cells, and show that the exchange of complementary metabolites between plasmid-carrying prototrophs and plasmid-free auxotrophs allows the latter to survive and proliferate in selective environments. This process also affects plasmid copy number in plasmid-carrying prototrophs, further promoting cellular functional heterogeneity. Finally, we show that targeted genetic engineering can be used to suppress cross-feeding and reduce the frequency of plasmid-free auxotrophs, or to exploit it for intentional population diversification and division of labour in co-culture systems.

    Abstract Background: Facial paralysis due to parotid sialolithiasis-induced parotitis is a unusual clinical phenomenon that has not been reported in prior literature. This scenario can present a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity and complex symptomatology, particularly if a patient has other potential contributing factors such as facial trauma or bilateral forehead botox injections as in this patient. This case report elucidates such a complex presentation, aiming to increase awareness and promote timely recognition among clinicians.
    Case presentation: A 56-year-old male, with a medical history significant for hyperlipidemia, recurrent parotitis secondary to parotid sialolithiasis, and recent bilateral forehead cosmetic Botox injections presented to the emergency department with right lower facial drooping. This onset was about an hour after waking up and was of 4 h duration. The patient also had a history of a recent ground level fall four days prior that resulted in facial trauma to his right eyebrow without any evident neurological deficits in the region of the injury. A thorough neurological exam revealed sensory and motor deficits across the entirety of the right face, indicating a potential lesion affecting the buccal and marginal mandibular branches of the facial nerve (CN VII). Several differential diagnoses were considered for the lower motor neuron lesion, including soft tissue trauma or swelling from the recent fall, compression due to the known parotid stone, stroke, and complex migraines. An MRI of the brain was conducted to rule out a stroke, with no significant findings. A subsequent CT scan of the neck revealed an obstructed and dilated right Stensen's duct with a noticeably larger and anteriorly displaced sialolith and evidence of parotid gland inflammation. A final diagnosis of facial palsy due to parotitis secondary to sialolithiasis was made. The patient was discharged and later scheduled for a procedure to remove the sialolith which resolved his facial paralysis.
    Conclusions: This case emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to the differential diagnosis in presentations of facial palsy. It underscores the potential involvement of parotid sialolithiasis, particularly in patients with a history of recurrent parotitis or facial trauma. Prompt recognition of such uncommon presentations can prevent undue interventions, aid in timely appropriate management, and significantly contribute to the patient's recovery and prevention of long-term complications.

    Abstract Background and aims: Several methods are in use for LMA ProSeal™ size selection in pediatric patients. Weight-based method is most commonly used. Pinna size-based method is a promising new technique for accurate size selection.
    Material and methods: A total of 146 children aged between 6 months and 12 years undergoing surgery under general surgery were included. They were randomized into either pinna-based group (group X) or weight-based group (group Y). Both groups were compared for accurate placement of ProSeal™ laryngeal mask airway (PLMA), ease of insertion, number of attempts needed, and peak airway pressures.
    Results: A Comparable number of patients had a Brimacombe score of 3 and above, indicating correct placement in both groups (
    Conclusions: Pinna size-based estimation of LMA size is an effective alternative method to weight-based selection.

    Abstract Purpose: To improve postoperative outcome in middle third falcine meningiomas by cortical venous preservation.
    Background: Falcine meningiomas arise from the falx and do not involve the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). Their complete resection is often associated with the risk of venous infarction in the eloquent cortex due to overlying superficial cortical veins on the tumors.
    Method: We report one case of middle third falcine meningioma, where we used the posterior interhemispheric corridor for tumor approach.
    Conclusion: Use of the posterior interhemispheric approach, carefully raised bone flap, along with sharp dissection and vein reinforcement using fibrin glue can help to preserve the cortical veins while resecting the falcine meningiomas.

    Abstract Plant scientists across the globe are interested in studying the root growth architecture of plants to understand different processes determining growth and development in plants. In the majority of cases, root growth-related experiments are carried out on petri plates filled with solid nutrient media. However, plants growing in these plates are often exposed to conditions that are not close to the natural conditions. Also, it is difficult to pour two different media on the same plate which is quite a useful feature to study the effect of specific treatment on plant growth. In the present work, we describe an improved and easy-to-use petri plate system useful for studying root growth characteristics of young plants grown over solid nutrient media. In comparison to the conventional methods, the present plate system offers an advantage in terms of facilitating the pouring of two different media in the same plate, avoiding contact of the aerial part of the plant with nutrient media, and ensuring the growth of roots under dark conditions. The described plate, therefore, provides a convenient system to study root growth under conditions close to natural conditions and hence minimizing experimental artifacts. •The plate system facilitates the pouring of two different nutrient media into the same plate.•The aerial part of the seedling does not come in contact with the media.•Ensures growth of roots under dark conditions.
