Semantic segmentation plays an essential role in brain tumor diagnosis and treatment planning. Yet, manual segmentation is a time-consuming task. That fact leads to hire the Deep Neural Networks to segment brain tumor. In this work, we proposed a variety of 3D U-Net, which can achieve comparable segmentation accuracy with less graphic memory cost. To be more specific, our model employs a modified attention block to refine the feature map representation along the skip-connection bridge, which consists of parallelly connected spatial and channel attention blocks. Dice coefficients for enhancing tumor, whole tumor, and tumor core reached 0.752, 0.879 and 0.779 respectively on the BRATS- 2020 valid dataset.

On page 4972, the authors found an error in which theimages for Figure 4A PC3 Blank and Figure 4B 22RV1Blank were mistakenly duplicated. Upon realising theerror, the authors repeated the knockdown experimentdescribed in Figure 4 and were able to show resultsconsistent with those described in the original article.The authors provided a description of the experimentprocedure used for the relative colony counts and theraw data from both the original and repeated experimentsused to generate the results shown in Figure 4Aand Figure 4B. See revised Figure 4 below.The authors and the editor have confirmed that the correctionof the images has no significant impact on the conclusionsof the study.Read the original article

Background Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a distressing chronic skin disease affecting apocrine-bearing regions. The management of HS is challenging, and surgical intervention is considered to be effective. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and patient tolerance of modified abscess drainage in the treatment of HS. Materials and Methods Eight patients with HS were admitted to our hospital from 2005 to 2012. They were treated using modified abscess drainage, with a follow-up time of 3 months. Effectiveness of therapy and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Results Twenty-eight lesions in eight patients with HS were treated using modified abscess drainage. After 3 months of follow-up, 13 lesions showed completely recovery, and 10 lesions improved. No patients had any serious postoperative complications. Seven patients were satisfied with the effects, and five patients were willing to accept the same treatment when lesions recurred. Conclusion Modified abscess drainage is a simple and effective surgery for HS lesions, and patients tolerated this treatment well.
