Multifractal Spectrum Analysis for Assessing Pulmonary Nodule Malignancy

This study introduces multifractal spectrum analysis for assessing pulmonary nodule malignancy. Using CT-DICOM data, the method calculates fractal dimensions across multiple voxel scales, revealing significant differences between early-stage and late-stage pulmonary...

A Swin Transformer-Based Model for Thyroid Nodule Detection in Ultrasound Images

Here, a new model for thyroid nodule detection in ultrasound images is proposed, which uses Swin Transformer as the backbone to perform long-range context modeling. Experiments prove that it performs well in terms of sensitivity and...

Substernal Thyroid Biopsy Using Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration10:19

Substernal Thyroid Biopsy Using Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration

Substernal thyroid lesions are common, and need to be differentiated from malignancy. Obtaining percutaneous fine needle biopsy is not possible due to its retrosternal location. This article proposes a protocol for biopsy of substernal thyroid lesions using Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration...

Tubal Cytology of the Fallopian Tube as a Promising Tool for Ovarian Cancer Early Detection

We explored a tubal cytologic method by sampling the fallopian tube directly post-surgical excision as a tool of ovarian cancer early detection. Here, we present a protocol to collect fallopian tube cells from freshly received surgical...

Spontaneous Murine Model of Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Here, we present a standard pipeline to obtain murine ATC tumors by spontaneous genetically engineered mouse models. Further, we present tumor dynamics and pathological information about the primary and metastasized lesions. This model will help researchers to understand tumorigenesis and facilitate drug...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...
