Slipped Proximal Humeral Epiphysis

Daniel Reyes, Jace Buxton and Scott Jorgensen

Background: Slipped proximal humeral epiphysis (SPHE) has rarely been described in the literature. In addition, to these authors’ knowledge, this condition has not previously been described in the literature as occurring following a fall such as occurred in this case. This contributes a potential mechanism of injury to this uncommon finding.

Accurate Segmentation of Pigmented Skin Lesions Using Grounded-segment-anything

Takashi Nagaoka

Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer, and accurately segmenting pigmented lesions is crucial for early diagnosis. However, manual annotation is time-consuming, subjective, and requires expertise from dermatologists. To address these challenges, we propose a fully unsupervised segmentation approach using grounded-segment-anything model (Grounded-SAM), which operates without the need for annotated training data.

Preclinical Validation of Automatic Mitral Valve Segmentation and Measurement Technology for Planning Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Valve Repair Using Computed Tomography

Michael Huy Cuong Pham, Klaus Fuglsang Kofoed, James V. Chapman, Ole de Backer, Jesper J. Linde, Lars V. Køber, Gakuto Aoyama, Keitaro Kawashima and Takuya Sakaguchi

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular heart diseases, though many patients with severe MR are unsuitable for surgical interventions. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is an established non-surgical procedure that allows safe and effective reduction of MR in highrisk patients. Appropriate patient selection is critical and achieved through clinical assessment and imaging derived measurement of the mitral valve (MV) apparatus to optimize procedural success.

Case Series and Literature Review of Rare Intracranial Presentations of Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma

Karan Bir Singh, Krithika Muthyala, Daniel Pierotti, Brett Martin, Esther Morrison, Matthew Pearson and Omar Alkharabsheh

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) primarily affects the lymphatic system; however, extranodal involvement occurs in approximately 10% of cases. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement, though rare, can present in various forms, including intracranial, epidural, leptomeningeal, and intramedullary spinal cord involvement.
