To explore the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in predicting microvascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ⋯ Microvascular invasion of HCC can be predicted by MSCT manifestations before surgery.
-
To explore the therapeutic effects of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation and radio frequency ablation for liver cancer patients. ⋯ In contrast with traditional algorithms, the CNNMF algorithm has better diagnostic performance for liver cancer ultrasound images. In contrast with radio frequency ablation, microwave ablation has better ablation effects for liver cancer tumors, and can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in patients, which is safe and feasible.

This study used phased array imaging algorithm to explore the epidemiological characteristics of endoscopic treatment of upper gastrointestinal foreign bodies to provide a basis for nursing intervention. ⋯ There are high risks in the treatment of foreign bodies in the upper digestive tract. Targeted, prospective, and streamlined nursing interventions can provide patients with fast and professional medical care services and minimize patient pain.

To determine the pattern of COVID-19 on chest radiograph in patients presenting to Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan. ⋯ Portable chest radiography is an essential supporting tool for assessing different patterns in COVID-19 infection. The most common pattern observed is alveolar opacities with predominant peripheral distribution either unilateral or more frequently bilateral, starting from the lower and mid zones extending to the upper zones and becoming diffuse with disease progression.

To determine the efficacy of usage of topical autologous platelet rich fibrin (PRF) in improving outcomes of myringoplasty regarding graft uptake and hearing improvement. ⋯ Topical use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin during myringoplasty results in improved graft uptake. Hence, resulting in much improved hearing, significant reduction in infection rates and decrease in perforation sizes.
