Confined Low Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm With Coexisting Distant Metastasis.

Background/aim: Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are tumors with dysplastic mucinous epithelium, a pushing growth pattern but no infiltrative invasion to the appendiceal wall. Some AMNs are associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei, characterized by intraperitoneal mucinous involvement. Recent studies have demonstrated that LAMNs confined to the appendix have low or no risk for disease recurrence, progression, and peritoneal involvement during follow up.

GoPros™ as an underwater photogrammetry tool for citizen science.

Citizen science can increase the scope of research in the marine environment; however, it suffers from necessitating specialized training and simplified methodologies that reduce research output. This paper presents a simplified, novel survey methodology for citizen scientists, which combines GoPro imagery and structure from motion to construct an ortho-corrected 3D model of habitats for analysis. Results using a coral reef habitat were compared to surveys conducted with traditional snorkelling methods for benthic cover, holothurian counts, and coral health.
