A mechanistic simulation of induced DNA damage in a bacterial cell by X- and gamma rays: a parameter study
AbstractMechanistic Monte Carlo simulations calculating DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation are highly dependent on the simulation parameters. In the present study, using the Geant4-DNA toolkit, the impact of different parameters on DNA damage induced in a bacterial cell by X- and gamma-ray irradiation was investigated. Three geometry configurations, including the simple (without DNA details), the random (a random multiplication of identical DNA segments), and the fractal (a regular replication of DNA segments using fractal Hilbert curves), were simulated. Also, three physics constructors implemented in Geant4-DNA, i.e...

Transfer learning and self-distillation for automated detection of schizophrenia using single-channel EEG and scalogram images
In this study, our main goal is to develop an optimized system that can achieve automatic diagnosis of SZ with minimal input information. To optimize the system, we adopted a strategy of using single-channel EEG signals and integrated knowledge distillation and transfer learning techniques into the model. This approach was designed to improve the performance and efficiency of our proposed method for SZ diagnosis. Additionally, to leverage the pre-trained models effectively, we converted the EEG signals into images using Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). This transformation allowed us to harness the capabilities of pre-tr...

Neural harmony: revolutionizing thyroid nodule diagnosis with hybrid networks and genetic algorithms
Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin. 2024 Apr 22:1-18. doi: 10.1080/10255842.2024.2341969. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the contemporary world, thyroid disease poses a prevalent health issue, particularly affecting women's well-being. Recognizing the significance of maternal thyroid (MT) hormones in fetal neurodevelopment during the first half of pregnancy, this study introduces the HNN-GSO model. This groundbreaking hybrid approach, utilizing the MT dataset, integrates ResNet-50 and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) within a Glow-worm Swarm Optimization (GSO) framework for optimal parameter tuning.

Ultrasonic synthesis of green lipid nanocarriers loaded with Scutellaria barbata extract: a sustainable approach for enhanced anticancer and antibacterial therapy
This study presents the novel ultrasonic preparation of lipid nanocarriers loaded with Scutellaria barbata extract, repurposed for anticancer and antibacterial use. High-frequency ultrasonic waves enabled the precise self-assembly of DSPE-PEG, Span 40, and cholesterol to form nanocarriers encapsulating the therapeutic extract without the use of toxic solvents, exemplifying green nanotechnology. Leveraging the inherent anticancer and antibacterial properties of Scutellaria barbata, the study demonstrates that lipid encapsulation enhances the bioavailability and controlled release of the extract, which is vital for its thera...

Head Impact Kinematics and Brain Tissue Strains in High School Lacrosse
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03513-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMale lacrosse and female lacrosse have differences in history, rules, and equipment. There is current debate regarding the need for enhanced protective headwear in female lacrosse like that worn by male lacrosse players. To inform this discussion, 17 high school lacrosse players (6 female and 11 male) wore the Stanford Instrumented Mouthguard during 26 competitive games over the 2021 season. Time-windowing and video review were used to remove false-positive recordings and verify head acceleration events (HAEs). The HAE rate in high ...
