Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease and a public health concern in at least 98 countries, affecting mainly the poorest populations. Pharmaceuticals and chemotherapies available for leishmaniasis treatment have several limitations, which clearly justify the efforts to find new potential antileishmanial drugs. In this context, antiprotozoal activities toward different Leishmania species have been reported for hypervalent tellurium compounds, which motivated us to investigate, for the first ...

Kidney cancer is a public health problem that affects thousands of people worldwide. Accurate kidney tumor segmentation is an important task that helps doctors to reduce the time to interpret images, diagnose, and plan the treatment of the diseases. However, because of the heterogeneity of tumors, manually segmenting is a time-consuming process and subject to variability among specialists. In the last years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained popularity for automatic medical image segmentation. ...

The spinal cord is a very important organ that must be protected in treatments of radiotherapy (RT), considered an organ at risk (OAR). Excess rays associated with the spinal cord can cause irreversible diseases in patients who are undergoing radiotherapy.
