The paper proposes a Federated Learning framework that integrates an optimized YOLOv8 network for detecting kidney stones in CT images while preserving patient privacy. By enabling multiple medical institutions to collaboratively train a shared model without exchanging patient data, the approach complies with GDPR and HIPAA regulations. Experiments on a distributed CT dataset show a 0.733 mAP@50 and demonstrate fast, real‑time inference suitable for clinical deployment.

The paper evaluates how well generalist and dermatology-specific machine learning models perform on diverse skin lesion datasets, including dermoscopic images and smartphone photographs. It benchmarks a range of architectures—general-purpose vision-language models, foundation models, and task-specific dermatology classifiers—under conditions of distribution shift, modality change, and demographic variability. The study quantifies the performance gap between current state‑of‑the‑art models and the robustness needed for safe, equitable clinical deployment.

Accurate dermatological diagnosis naturally necessitates equitable performance across diverse populations, yet a systematic lack of expertly annotated images, especially for underrepresented skin tones and rare diseases, impedes progress toward measurably fair methods. We introduce cgDDI (Controllable Generation of Diverse Dermatological Imagery), a hybrid framework that (1) synthesizes realistic healthy skin samples without disturbing other input properties, (2) maps single-sample rare lesions onto novel skin-tones and locations non-parametrically, and (3) allows for efficient parametric generation with as few as 10 training samples.
Privacy-sensitive and distributed characteristics of multi-center medical data bring severe obstacles to centralized modeling for accurate early prediction of sepsis. Federated learning (FL) has attracted growing attention as a promising framework for collaborative model development, as it allows multiple institutions to jointly train predictive models without directly sharing or centralizing raw data.
