A case report: Reactivation of tubercular infection presenting as bilateral frosted branch angiitis

: Frosted branch angiitis is a rare form of angiitis having multifactorial associations. Tubercular retinitis is a common association with frosted branch angiitis. Aim of this study is to show that frosted branch angiitis can be the only presenting symptom of reactivated tubercular infection.: A female patient presented with severe diminution of vision in both eyes and bilateral severe form of retinal vasculitis. She had a positive skin tuberculin test. Radiological investigation (HRCT Chest) revealed an old healed infection in the form of fibrotic streaks. She had previous history of Tuberculosis 17 years back and she didn’t complete the ATT course at that time.: Reactivation of Tubercular infection can present as frost branch angiitis. Prompt diagnosis and effective management helps in preventing as well as reversing the loss of vision.

Complex Pulmonary Artery Rehabilitation in Children with Alagille Syndrome: An Early Single-Center Experience of a Successful Collaborative Work.

Objective: In this paper, we share our single-center experience of successful multidisciplinary management of patients with Alagille syndrome. In addition, we aim to highlight the need for an Alagille program for effectively managing these patients, in general, and particularly peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis associated with this syndrome. Study Design: This is a retrospective review of six children with Alagille syndrome and advanced liver involvement who underwent pulmonary artery reconstruction between 2021 and 2022. Cardiac diagnosis, co-existing liver disease burdens, management approach, and short-term outcomes were analyzed. Results: All the patients underwent one-stage extensive bilateral branch pulmonary rehabilitation. Concomitant procedures included repair of tetralogy of Fallot in one patient and repair of supravalvar pulmonary artery stenosis in two. One patient had balloon pulmonary branch angioplasty before surgery. In all patients, there was a decrease in right ventricular systolic pressure post-operatively. Three patients underwent liver transplantation for pre-existing liver dysfunction. At a median 3-year follow-up, all the patients were alive with their right ventricular systolic pressure less than half of their systemic systolic pressure. One patient underwent balloon angioplasty due to new and recurrent left pulmonary artery stenosis 13 months after surgery. Conclusion: Pulmonary arteries can be successfully rehabilitated surgically in the presence of complex branch disease. Patients with advanced liver disease can undergo successful complex pulmonary artery reconstruction, which can facilitate their future liver transplantation course. A multidisciplinary team approach is a key for successful management of Alagille patients.

Development and cross-sectional morphology of the recurrent laryngeal nerves in human fetuses.

The recurrent laryngeal nerve is a bilateral branch of the vagus nerve that is mainly associated with the motor innervation of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx. Despite its bilateral distribution, the right and left recurrent laryngeal nerves display unequal length due to embryological processes related to the development of the aortic arches. This length asymmetry leads to theories about morphological compensations to provide symmetrical functions to the intrinsic muscles of the larynx. In this study we investigated the developmental and cross-sectional morphometrics of the recurrent laryngeal nerves in human fetuses. Fifteen stillbirth fetuses donated to anatomical and medical research were used for investigation. Fetuses had intrauterine age ranging from 30 to 40 weeks estimated by biometry methods. Specialized anatomical dissection of the visceral block of the neck was performed to prepare histological samples of the recurrent laryngeal nerves in its point of contact with the larynx, and morpho-quantitative techniques were applied to evaluate the epineurium and perineural space of the recurrent laryngeal nerves. No statistical difference in the cross-sectional morphology of the epineurium and perineural space between right and left recurrent laryngeal nerves intra-individually was confirmed, however, we found evidence that these structures are under greater development in the left recurrent laryngeal nerve during 30 to 40 weeks of intrauterine life. Our data suggest that the nerves are under morphological development that possibly set the stage for accommodation of larger diameter and myelinization of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve during post-natal life.

Bilateral multiple recurrent branch retinal vein occlusions secondary to hypercoagulopathy associated with multiple mutations: A rare case report

Abstract: Retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) are relatively common vascular disorders, often resulting in significant visual impairment. We present an intriguing case of a 53-year-old male with recurrent bilateral branch RVOs stemming from underlying hypercoagulopathy. This complex scenario encompassed simultaneous bilateral RVO occurrences and subsequent unilateral recurrences. Despite the absence of systemic comorbidities or conventional risk factors, genetic assessment unveiled notable heterozygous mutations involving Factor V Leiden (G1691A) and Factor II (PT G20210A), along with a homozygous methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase A1298C mutation. While routine hematological indicators remained largely unremarkable, the marked efficacy of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents, particularly when administered promptly, emerged as a noteworthy therapeutic avenue. This case underscores the imperative of scrutinizing thrombotic mutations in youthful patients with recurrent RVOs, accentuating the favorable retinal response to anti-VEGF interventions and emphasizing the rewards of timely clinical intervention.

Infected right ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm in an infant with tetralogy of Fallot: Successful palliation using a Gore VBX® covered stent

ABSTRACT Pseudoaneurysm formation within the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is a rare but serious complication following cardiac surgeries involving the RVOT. This report presents the case of a 3-month-old, 4 kg infant with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia, previously treated with ventricular septal defect closure and right ventricle (RV)–pulmonary artery homograft placement. The patient presented critically ill with septic shock and suprasystemic RV pressure. A high-risk surgical approach was averted through the endovascular exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm using a Gore VBX® balloon expandable covered stent, in addition to stenting of bilateral proximal branch pulmonary arteries to alleviate RV hypertension. This case underscores the multifactorial nature of RVOT pseudoaneurysm formation and the importance of a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. Management options, including surgical and transcatheter strategies, are discussed, focusing on the successful use of a covered stent for stabilization in a critically ill patient.

Up beating skull vibration induced nystagmus in a case of bilateral sequential superior branch vestibular neuritis.

Vestibular neuritis is one of the most common reasons that someone may experience an episode of acute spontaneous vertigo, with the majority cases impacting only one ear. Cases of bilateral vestibular neuritis are rare and are thought to account for less than 10% of all cases of vestibular neuritis. 18,1,9,15,12 Skull vibration testing is an efficient means to screen for asymmetry in vestibular function but is still in its infancy in clinical use. The ideal assessment methods and the typical patterns of skull vibration induced nystagmus are relatively well understood, however, the presentation of skull vibration induced nystagmus in atypical labyrinthine pathology is less clear. Skull vibration induces a horizontal nystagmus that beats toward the healthy labyrinth in most instances of significant labyrinthine asymmetry. We pose a case report of a patient that's symptomology and clinical test findings are most consistent with bilateral sequential superior branch vestibular neuritis with an up beating skull vibration induced nystagmus.

Segmentation of Lung Lesions through Bilateral Learning Branches to Aggregating Contextual and Local Characteristics

Detecting and analyzing lung lesion regions using artificial intelligence is of great significance in the medical diagnosis of lung CT images, which can substantially improve the efficiency of doctors. However, segmentation of the inflammatory region in the CT image of the lung remains challenging due to the varied sizes, blurry local details, irregular shapes, and limited sizes of datasets. Faced with these challenges, this paper proposes a novel lung lesion segmentation network that incorporates two feature extraction branches to achieve a balance of speed and accuracy. We first design a context branch (CB) to preserve the scale-invariant global context information by the transformer-like module. Besides, a shallow detail branch (DB) based on a deep aggregation pyramid (DAP) module is designed to provide detailed information. Extensive experiments are conducted on two datasets, including the public COVID-19 dataset and a private dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the trade-off between accuracy and inference speed is achieved.

ECS-SC: Long-tailed classification via data augmentation based on easily confused sample selection and combination

The long-tailed distribution data poses many challenges for machine learning because the tail classes are extremely scarce. Long-tailed data augmentation is a powerful technique for enriching the tail class diversity. However, existing methods often treat each class independently, assuming that classes are isolated from each other. These approaches overlook the presence of easily confused tail classes, making it challenging for models to distinguish between them accurately. In this paper, we propose a long-tailed classification method based on data augmentation, which utilizes multi-granularity knowledge to select and combine easily confused tail samples, thereby enhancing the classification performance of these samples. First, we utilize multi-granularity knowledge and semantic relation trees to build a class relation matrix. This matrix records the relationship between classes and helps the model search for easily confused classes from bilateral branch samplers. Second, we crop and combine the easily confused head and tail class samples in a foreground–background manner to generate new samples, thereby augmenting the model training. The extensive head class knowledge is transferred to the scarce tail class samples through the combination of fore-background, and the discriminative and generalized abilities of the model are improved. The experimental results affirm the effectiveness of our proposed method.

Real-Time Semantic Segmentation via a Densely Aggregated Bilateral Network.

With the growing demands of applications on online devices, the speed-accuracy trade-off is critical in the semantic segmentation system. Recently, the bilateral segmentation network has shown promising capacity to achieve the balance between favorable accuracy and fast speed, and has become the mainstream backbone in real-time semantic segmentation. Segmentation of target objects relies on high-level semantics, whereas it requires detailed low-level features to model specific local patterns for accurate location. However, the lightweight backbone of bilateral architecture limits the extraction of semantic context and spatial details. And the late fusion of the bilateral streams incurs the insufficient aggregation of semantic context and spatial details. In this article, we propose a densely aggregated bilateral network (DAB-Net) for real-time semantic segmentation. In the context path, a patchwise context enhancement (PCE) module is proposed to efficiently capture the local semantic contextual information from spatialwise and channelwise, respectively. Meanwhile, a context-guided spatial path (CGSP) is designed to exploit more spatial information by encoding finer details from the raw image and the transition from the context path. Finally, with multiple interactions between bilateral branches, the intertwined outputs from bilateral streams are combined in a unified decoder for a final interaction to further enhance the feature representation, which generates the final segmentation prediction. Experimental results on three public benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed method achieves higher accuracy with a limited decay in speed, which performs favorably against state-of-the-art real-time approaches and runs at 31.1 frames/s (FPS) on the high resolution of [Formula: see text] .

A Novel Bilateral Branching Network with Cost-sensitive Res2Net for Diagnosis GIS Insulation Defects on imbalanced data

A Novel Bilateral Branching Network with Cost-sensitive Res2Net for Diagnosis GIS Insulation Defects on imbalanced data

Ultrasound-guided medial branch of the superior laryngeal nerve block to reduce peri-operative opioids dosage and accelerate patient recovery.

To explore whether the medial branch block of superior laryngeal nerve can reduce the stress response of patients undergoing intubation and further reduce the dosage of opioids. 80 patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery were selected, and randomly divided into 4 groups. All patients in the experimental groups received bilateral internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve block and transversus abdominis plane block. But the dosage of sufentanil used for anesthesia induction in the group A, B, and C was 0.4, 0.2, and 0μg/kg, respectively. Group D do not underwent supralaryngeal nerve block and the dosage of sufentanil was 0.4μg/kg. The heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure(MAP) were recorded at the time of entering the operating room(T1), before intubation after induction(T2), immediately after intubation(T3), 5min after intubation(T4), before extubation(T5), immediately after extubation(T6), 5min after extubation(T7). We also recorded the stay time in the recovery room, the number of cases of postoperative sore throat, the number of cases of nausea and vomiting, the first intestinal exhaust time, the length of hospital stay after operation. The HR of group A, C and D at T3 was significantly higher than that at T2(P < 0.01), while the HR of group B had no significant change. The HR of group A, C and D at T4 was lower than that at T3(P < 0.01), while the HR of group B had no obvious change. The HR of group C and D at T3 was significantly higher than that at T1 (P < 0.01). The MAP of group A and D at T4 was significantly lower than that at T1 (P<0.001). The first postoperative intestinal exhaust time in group A, B and C was significantly shorter than that in group D. The length of hospital stay after operation in group B and C was shorter than that in group D. Ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with 0.2μg/kg sufentanil can reduce the intubation reaction, have better hemodynamic stability, reduce the first postoperative intestinal exhaust time and postoperative hospital stay, thereby accelerating the postoperative recovery of patients.

Congenital Bilateral Branch Pulmonary Artery Hypoplasia: Prenatal Diagnosis and Parental Counseling.

Abstract 13091: Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Associated With Prolonged Use of Combined Oral Contraceptives in a 27-Year-Old Woman: A Successful Case of Pulmonary Endarterectomy

Introduction: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE); however, in half of the cases, no prior deep vein thrombosis is ever found. The use of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) is a known risk factor for VTE. We present the case of a young woman with CTEPH in whom timely diagnosis and intervention prevented irreversible pulmonary hypertension (PH). Case Presentation: A 27-year-old woman with 10-year use of COCs presented with progressive dyspnea for 3 weeks. The ECG showed right ventricular systolic overload and right atrial enlargement. Laboratory tests showed elevated pro-BNP and D-dimer. TTE showed right atrium and right ventricle (RV) enlargement and elevated right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 83 mmHg. The ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy showed mismatched segmental perfusion defects in both lung fields with greater involvement of the left lung, and oral anticoagulation was started. Lower extremity venous ultrasound and hypercoagulability studies were normal. CTPA revealed filling defects in the left main pulmonary artery and bilateral segmental branches. After 3 months of anticoagulation, she persisted in NYHA class III, and right heart catheterization showed mean PAP of 38 mmHg, PCWP of 8 mmHg, and PVR of 9 WU, confirming CTEPH. Due to unavailability in Peru, she was referred to a US center for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). After a successful intervention, she improved clinically with a reduction in RVSP to 34 mmHg. This case highlights the importance of rapid intervention in CTEPH even in situations where optimal treatment is not readily available. Conclusion: CTEPH may be associated with the prolonged use of COCs in young women. Timely intervention can reverse PH and prevent RV remodeling. Unfortunately, Peru does not have a PEA center and not every case will undergo treatment. We call for the training of local surgeons to ensure fair and equitable access for the population.

Abstract 164: Chronic Total Occlusion of the Bilateral Internal Carotid Arteries, Vertebral Arteries and Basilar Artery

Introduction Bilateral internal carotid arteries (ICAs), vertebral arteries (VAs), and basilar artery chronic total occlusion is an exceedingly rare condition. Possible underlying etiologies include atherosclerosis, Moyamoya disease, dissection, among others. Methods Here we describe a 58‐year‐old man with chronic total occlusion of the bilateral ICAs, VAs and basilar artery of unknown etiology. Results A 58‐year‐old man who is independent for ADLs/iADLs with a history of prior ischemic strokes (first stroke at 40 years old) with residual left‐sided weakness and dysarthria, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, prior blood clots (previously on warfarin), post‐stroke epilepsy, and never smoker presented as a code stroke to the emergency department after waking that morning with worsening of his residual left‐sided weakness and dysarthria. On arrival, blood pressure was 165/94 mmHg and blood glucose was 108 mg/dL. His NIHSS was 6. His neurologic exam was grossly similar to that documented 19 months ago. In the CT scanner, he developed tonic‐clonic movements of the left arm and leg, confusion, and emesis. Later, he stated he had missed several doses of his prescribed levetiracetam. Head CT and brain MRI revealed encephalomalacia in the brainstem and bilateral cerebellar and cerebral hemispheres. Brain MRI did not demonstrate any diffusion restriction changes. CTA showed chronic occlusion of both ICAs (proximal, distal, and terminus), M1s, VAs (V4 segment), and basilar artery. CTA also revealed that the brain parenchyma was being perfused by collaterals between the external carotid artery (ECA) branches, superficial temporal artery, and M2 branches bilaterally and the bilateral posterior circulation arteries were small and reformed through collaterals. CTP showed a core and penumbra volumes of 0 mL. His presentation was consistent with a seizure. He was admitted to the stroke service for work‐up of his abnormal brain vasculature. Catheter angiography confirmed the CTA results demonstrating occluded bilateral cervical and intracranial segments of the ICAs, collaterals from bilateral ECA branches supplying the intracranial circulation, right VA occlusion distal to the right PICA, and left VA occlusion distal to the V3 segment. Remaining work‐up including A1c, LDL, urine drug screen, EKG, transthoracic echocardiogram, and telemetry was unrevealing other than for an LDL of 152. Routine EEG showed moderate generalized showing. During hospitalization, his home amlodipine and losartan medications were discontinued with the goal of maintaining a blood pressure target of 140‐160 systolic indefinitely, to minimize the risk of hypoperfusion cerebrally. Give his robust collaterals, surgical treatment with revascularization was not pursued. His home aspirin and rosuvastatin 40 mg daily were continued and ezetimibe 10 mg daily was added. His home levetiracetam was increased from 500 to 750 mg twice daily given recent unprovoked seizures at home. He was discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation facility. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first case report to show chronic total occlusion of the bilateral ICAs, VAs, and basilar artery. Diagnosis of Moyamoya disease stage VI ("disappearance of the Moyamoya") was entertained but felt to be less likely given involvement of the proximal ICAs and posterior circulation. Other diagnostic consideration included atherosclerosis. Overall, the underlying etiology of his condition remained elusive.

Modified Aortic Arch Reconstruction Combined With Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction in the Comprehensive Stage II Operation Following a Hybrid Stage I for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

The hybrid approach for hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a well-accepted alternative strategy to the conventional staged surgical approach. However, in the typical comprehensive stage II operation, bilateral branch pulmonary artery stenosis is a risk factor for postoperative catheter and/or surgical interventions. In addition to addressing the stenosis from the bands, the branch pulmonary arteries are at risk of compression from the dilated main pulmonary trunk and the resultant large neo-aorta. Here, we present a new aortic arch reconstruction technique combined with the pulmonary artery reconstruction in the comprehensive stage II operation to address these issues. In our experience of 11 patients who underwent hybrid strategy, Fontan completion was achieved in 8 cases (73%) during a median follow-up duration of 84 months (range; 45-161 months), and the 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year survival rates were 73% each. While 6 of 8 cases (75%) required catheter interventions to the branch pulmonary arteries, the Nakata Index was 204±11 before the stage II and 185±19 before Fontan completion, indicating that good pulmonary artery growth. Our modified comprehensive stage II technique optimizes the pulmonary arteries for the Fontan and beyond by addressing both anatomic stenoses and external compression for future growth.

Transfemoral Access to Implant Iliac Branch Devices After Previous Aortic Grafts.

To report on the outcomes of patients undergoing an iliac branch device implantation after previous open or endovascular aorto-biliac repair, using exclusively femoral access for catheterization and delivery of the covering stent to the hypogastric artery. Single-center retrospective study in which all patients in whom an iliac branch device was implanted after previous open or endovascular aorto-biliac repair were identified. Patients in whom the hypogastric artery catheterization and delivery of the bridging cover stent were achieved via exclusive femoral access were included. Different techniques were used based on surgeon preference. Technical success and access-related complications, as well as iliac branch device endoleak or occlusions during follow-up, were evaluated. From 2015 to 2021, 28 patients with a prior open or endovascular aorto-biliac repair underwent 34 iliac branch device implantations. Most (71%) had juxtarenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, 82% had common iliac artery aneurysms, and 25% had hypogastric artery aneurysms. Bilateral iliac branch device implantations were performed in 21% of the patients, and in 26% of cases, landing in the superior gluteal artery was obtained. An "up-and-over" technique from the contralateral groin was used in 65% of the cases, and a steerable sheath in 35%. Technical success was 94%, with no complications related to access or technique to catheterize and deliver the stents in the hypogastric artery. The cohort had 20% of major complications, with 3 perioperative deaths. Kaplan-Meier estimated an iliac branch device freedom from occlusion and endoleak was 92% and 83% at 2 years. The implantation of an iliac branch device over previous aortic or open endografts involving the aortic bifurcation is feasible and safe. We suggest using a femoral approach as the primary access of choice. In this study we present 28 patients with previous aortoiliac grafts in which iliac branch devices were performed as a subsequent step.We demonstrated the feasibility of the technique despite the difficulty of crossing a neobifurcation, with a steep angle, without complications associated with the technique. Based on our experience, we recommend transfemoral access as the first option for bypassing the hypogastric artery stent, preserving upper extremity access and its possible complications.

A Rare Bilateral Variation in the Branches of the Internal Thoracic Artery: A Case Report

Background: Anatomical variations and, in particular, arterial variations constitute an important chapter in the learning of Clinical Anatomy. Purpose: The purpose of this report is to describe a rare bilateral anatomical variation in the internal thoracic artery (ITA) in a 60-year-old corpse and to depict its extreme clinical importance in coronary artery bypass surgery. Methods: The rare bilateral aberrant branches of the internal thoracic artery and their course in the thorax were incidentally discovered during routine anatomy dissection of the thorax at the Faculty of Medicine and Medical Sciences of the University of Balamand. The findings were thoroughly documented using digital photography, and the dissection followed the instructions from the “16th Edition of Grant’s Dissector”. Results: In the observed case, the left aberrant branch of ITA descends laterally and gives medial and lateral anterior intercostal branches at the first six intercostal spaces. Conversely, the right aberrant artery, which branches from the ITA, descends laterally and gives medial and lateral branches to every intercostal space in the first five intercostal spaces. Conclusion: This report emphasizes that any unexpected variations in the lateral aberrant branches of the internal thoracic artery may complicate the surgical procedure. Bilateral aberrant lateral branches of the internal thoracic artery constitute rare anatomical variations of the internal thoracic artery and have been rarely reported in the literature. Such a course for aberrant lateral branches in the thorax poses possible lethal complications during several procedures involving the thorax, including basic coronary artery bypass graft, thoracocentesis and intercostal paracentesis and breast reconstruction.

Off-label use of the Gore Excluder iliac branch endoprosthesis in association with the Rotarex S catheter to achieve total endovascular recanalization of an occluded aortobifemoral bypass

We describe a successful case of hybrid revascularization of a totally occluded aortobifemoral bypass with retrograde use of the Rotarex S catheter (BD) and complete relining with a Gore Excluder iliac branch endoprosthesis (W.L. Gore & Associates). The repair procedure was performed with femoral surgical access and percutaneous brachial access. Despite left renal artery endoclamping, after the final angiography, deployment of a covered stent in the left renal artery was needed because of residual thrombotic material at the vessel ostium. The procedure was completed with reconstruction using a common femoral artery Dacron graft and bilateral complete iliac surgical branch relining using self-expanding covered stents, with recovery of distal pulses.

Anomalous origin of the left suprarenal, inferior phrenic arteries and left ovarian artery in a human cadaver.

This report addresses three variants identified within a female cadaver. Specifically, these were an anomalous origin of the right suprarenal artery, an abnormal bilateral ovarian vein branch, and a arterial tortuosity of the left ovarian artery. Indeed, the cadaver evinced abnormal origins in the case of the middle suprarenal artery (MSA), right inferior phrenic artery (IPA), and the renal capsule artery (emanating from the right renal artery). The MSA and IPA shared a common trunk with the inferior suprarenal artery. It was additionally observed that the right ovarian vein anastomoses the branches from the right kidney posterior inferior along with those to the renal fat capsule. Abnormal origin was evident in the case of the left ovarian artery, and arterial tortuosity was apparent in the lower region of the vessels. This report addresses both the clinical import of these variations and their likely causes. In the subdiaphragmatic region, surgical success and prognosis may be impacted by such anomalies; accordingly surgeons must be aware of anatomical variants of the ovarian and suprarenal arteries.

Meta-adaptive-weighting-based bilateral multi-dimensional refined space feature attention network for imbalanced breast cancer histopathological image classification

Breast cancer histopathological image automatic classification can reduce pathologists workload and provide accurate diagnosis. However, one challenge is that empirical datasets are usually imbalanced, resulting in poorer classification quality compared with conventional methods based on balanced datasets. The recently proposed bilateral branch network (BBN) tackles this problem through considering both representation and classifier learning to improve classification performance. We firstly apply bilateral sampling strategy to imbalanced breast cancer histopathological image classification and propose a meta-adaptive-weighting-based bilateral multi-dimensional refined space feature attention network (MAW-BMRSFAN). The model is composed of BMRSFAN and MAWN. Specifically, the refined space feature attention module (RSFAM) is based on convolutional long short-term memories (ConvLSTMs). It is designed to extract refined spatial features of different dimensions for image classification and is inserted into different layers of classification model. Meanwhile, the MAWN is proposed to model the mapping from a balanced meta-dataset to imbalanced dataset. It finds suitable weighting parameter for BMRSFAN more flexibly through adaptively learning from a small amount of balanced dataset directly. The experiments show that MAW-BMRSFAN performs better than previous methods. The recognition accuracy of MAW-BMRSFAN under four different magnifications still is higher than 80% even when unbalance factor is 16, indicating that MAW-BMRSFAN can make ideal performance under extreme imbalanced conditions.
