Traditional evaluation of H&E-stained tissue slides can be labor-intensive and prone to interobserver variability. Recent advances in deep learning, particularly transformer-based models, offer promising tools for improving diagnostic accuracy. <b>Methods:</b> We propose ViSwNeXtNet, a novel patch-wise ensemble framework that integrates three transformer-based architectures-ConvNeXt-Tiny, Swin-Tiny, and ViT-Base-for deep feature extraction. Features from each model (12,288 per model) were concatenated into a 36,864-dimensional vector and refined using iterative neighborhood component analysis (INCA) to select the most discriminative 565 features. A quadratic SVM classifier was trained using these selected features. The model was evaluated on two datasets: (1) a custom-collected dataset consisting of 516 intestinal metaplasia cases and 521 control cases, and (2) the public GasHisSDB dataset, which includes 20,160 normal and 13,124 abnormal H&E-stained image patches of size 160 × 160 pixels. <b>Results:</b> On the collected dataset, the proposed method achieved 94.41% accuracy, 94.63% sensitivity, and 94.40% F1 score.

While immune dysregulation plays a central role in diseases like celiac disease and autoimmune enteropathy, other conditions such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and tropical sprue (TS) involve infectious or microbial pathogenesis. Common clinical manifestations include weight loss, chronic diarrhea, and nutritional deficiencies. While celiac disease (CD) remains the most prevalent IME in adults, an expanding spectrum of non-celiac enteropathies has been recognized, including autoimmune enteropathy (AIE), common variable immunodeficiency disease (CVID), olmesartan-induced enteropathy, tropical sprue, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. These conditions often present with overlapping clinical, serological, and histological features, complicating their differentiation from CD. Accurate diagnosis is critical for the timely initiation of effective treatment to prevent disease progression and associated complications such as severe malabsorption and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL). The small intestine plays a dual role in nutrient absorption and immune regulation, making it uniquely vulnerable to immune dysregulation. In IMEs, hyperactive immune responses disrupt intestinal homeostasis, leading to mucosal damage and impaired nutrient absorption. Although CD is the prototypical IME, increasing the recognition of non-celiac IMEs, it highlights the need for a more nuanced approach to small bowel biopsy interpretation. This review explores the histopathological and clinical features of common IMEs, with a focus on distinguishing non-celiac disorders that mimic CD. By enhancing the understanding of these conditions, this review aims to improve diagnostic accuracy, facilitate appropriate therapeutic interventions, and mitigate complications associated with delayed or misdiagnosis. A multidisciplinary approach involving gastroenterologists and pathologists is emphasized to optimize outcomes for patients with IMEs. Immune-mediated enteropathies result from an abnormal immune response of the small intestinal mucosa to non-pathogenic molecules, often leading to malabsorption syndrome. The most common symptoms include weight loss, chronic diarrhea, and nutritional deficiencies. While celiac disease (CD) is the most well-known immune-mediated enteropathy (IME) in adults, other related disorders have been identified in recent years. These conditions share many clinical and histopathological features, therefore making differentiations between them challenging. This study aims to review the most common immune-mediated enteropathies, with a focus on non-celiac disorders that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of celiac disease in small bowel biopsies.</p>","PeriodicalId":11225,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostics","volume":"15 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12191544/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144495106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed ECG segmentation algorithm introduces a distinct and original approach compared to prior research by integrating adaptive preprocessing, histogram-based lead separation, and robust point-tracking techniques into a unified framework. While most earlier studies have addressed ECG image processing using basic filtering, fixed-region cropping, or template matching, our method uniquely focuses on automated and precise reconstruction of individual ECG leads from noisy and overlapping multi-lead images-a challenge often overlooked in previous work. This innovative segmentation strategy significantly enhances signal clarity and enables the extraction of richer and more localized features, boosting the performance of DL classifiers. The dataset utilized in this work of 12 lead-based standard ECG images consists of four primary classes. <b>Results</b>: Experiments conducted using various DL models-such as VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50, InceptionNetV2, and GoogleNet-reveal that segmentation notably enhances model performance in terms of recall, precision, and F1 score.

Diagnosis is frequently delayed, with prolonged diagnostic wandering that could be improved through enhanced first-line radiologic assessment. The uterosacral ligament (USL) is the most frequent site of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The Hôtel-Dieu (HTD) MRI classification, published in 2024, offers a structured framework for evaluating USL involvement by correlating MRI findings with the diagnostic certainty of endometriosis. <b>Key Findings:</b> This pictorial essay provides a practical guide for applying the HTD MRI classification, presenting key imaging criteria with illustrative examples for each USL type. The classification distinguishes between \"linear\" and \"nodular\" USL lesions, with implications for diagnostic confidence. \"Nodular\" types demonstrate a 100% positive predictive value (PPV), while \"linear\" types may yield higher false positive rates (FPR). The HTD MRI classification may also be complemented by innovative biomarker testing, such as microRNA signatures, especially in cases with \"linear\" USL involvement. <b>Conclusions:</b> By standardizing the assessment of USL lesions, the HTD MRI classification enhances diagnostic accuracy, improves MRI reproducibility, and supports earlier identification of endometriosis in first-line settings. Its integration into radiologic workflows can contribute to reduced diagnostic delays. <b>Implications for practice:</b> The HTD MRI classification is a valuable screening tool for first-line radiologists and clinicians.

Although these markers are pivotal in detecting disease-specific neuropathological hallmarks, their association with the clinical manifestations of dementia frequently remains poorly defined and exhibits considerable variability. These biomarkers may show abnormalities in cognitively healthy individuals and frequently fail to accurately represent the severity of cognitive and functional impairments in individuals with dementia. Research indicates that synaptic degeneration and functional impairment occur early in the progression of AD and exhibit the strongest correlation with clinical symptoms. This identifies brain functional impairment measurements as promising early indicators for AD detection. Electroencephalography (EEG), a non-invasive and cost-effective method with high temporal resolution, is used as a biomarker for the early detection and diagnosis of AD through frequency-domain analysis of quantitative EEG (qEEG). Many researchers demonstrate that qEEG measures effectively identify disruptions in neuronal activity, including alterations in activity patterns, topographical distribution, and synchronization. Specific findings along the stages of AD include impaired neuronal synchronization, generalized EEG slowing, and an increase in lower-frequency bands accompanied by a decrease in higher-frequency bands of resting state EEG. Moreover, qEEG helps clinicians effectively correlate indicators of AD neuropathology and distinguish between various forms of dementia, positioning it as a promising, low-cost, non-invasive biomarker for dementia. However, additional clinical investigation is required to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic significance of qEEG measurements as early functional markers for AD. This narrative review examines time-frequency domain qEEG analysis as a potential biomarker across various types of dementia. Through a structured search of PubMed and Scopus, we identified studies assessing spectral and connectivity-based qEEG features. Consistent findings include EEG slowing, reduced functional connectivity, and network desynchronization. The review outlines key methodological challenges, such as lack of standardization and limited longitudinal validation, and recommends integrative, multimodal approaches to enhance diagnostic precision and clinical applicability.</p>","PeriodicalId":11225,"journal":{"name":"Diagnostics","volume":"15 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12192203/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144495083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
