A Case of Gallbladder Cancer with Trousseau Syndrome Successfully Treated Using Radical Resection
We describe the first case of a successfully treated gallbladder adenocarcinoma accompanied by Trousseau syndrome. A 66-year-old woman presented with right hemiplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging identified multiple cerebral infarctions. Her serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and D-dimer levels were markedly elevated, and a gallbladder tumor was detected via abdominal computed tomography. Venous ultrasonography of the lower limbs revealed a deep venous thrombus in the right peroneal vein. These findings suggested that the brain infarctions were likely caused by Trousseau syndrome associated with her gallbladder cancer. Radical...

An Optimization Numerical Spiking Neural Membrane System with Adaptive Multi-Mutation Operators for Brain Tumor Segmentation
Int J Neural Syst. 2024 Apr 30:2450036. doi: 10.1142/S0129065724500369. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important diagnostic technique for brain tumors due to its ability to generate images without tissue damage or skull artifacts. Therefore, MRI images are widely used to achieve the segmentation of brain tumors. This paper is the first attempt to discuss the use of optimization spiking neural P systems to improve the threshold segmentation of brain tumor images. To be specific, a threshold segmentation approach based on optimization numerical spiking neural P systems with adaptive mult...
