Federated Learning Survival Model and Potential Radiotherapy Decision Support Impact Assessment for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using Real-World Data
CONCLUSION: Federated learning over multiple institution data can be used to develop and validate decision support systems for lung cancer while quantifying the potential impact of their use in practice. This paves the way for personalised medicine, where decisions can be based more closely on individual patient details from routine care.PMID:38631978 | DOI:10.1016/j.clon.2024.03.008 (Source: Cancer Control)

Deep learning assists detection of esophageal cancer and precursor lesions in a prospective, randomized controlled study
Sci Transl Med. 2024 Apr 17;16(743):eadk5395. doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.adk5395. Epub 2024 Apr 17.ABSTRACTEndoscopy is the primary modality for detecting asymptomatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and precancerous lesions. Improving detection rate remains challenging. We developed a system based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for detecting esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions [high-risk esophageal lesions (HrELs)] and validated its efficacy in improving HrEL detection rate in clinical practice (trial registration ChiCTR2100044126 at www.chictr.org.cn).

The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor sertraline alters learning from aversive reinforcements in patients with depression: evidence from a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: The study findings indicate a relationship between aversive reinforcement learning mechanisms and aspects of depression, anxiety, and SSRI treatment, but these relationships did not align with the initial hypotheses. Poor task performance limits the interpretability and likely generalizability of the findings, and highlights the critical importance of developing acceptable and reliable tasks for use in clinical studies.FUNDING: This article presents research supported by NIHR Program Grants for Applied Research (RP-PG-0610-10048), the NIHR BRC, and UCL, with additional support from IMPRS COMP2PSYCH (JM, QH) an...

Twenty First Century Technological Toolbox Innovation for Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery (TAMIS)
Surg Technol Int. 2024 Apr 16;44:sti44/1760. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTransanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) is an effective procedure that plays an important role in the care of patients with significant rectal neoplasia and polyps including early-stage cancers. However, it is perhaps underutilised and under threat from both advanced flexible endoscopic procedures and proceduralists (who often act as gatekeepers for referral to colorectal surgeons), as well as from robotic surgery proponents. TAMIS advocates can learn and adopt practice insights from both these fields and incorporate available technological inn...

A prediction model for CO < sub > 2 < /sub > /CO adsorption performance on binary alloys based on machine learning
In this study, an ML model was developed to predict the CO2 and CO adsorption affinity on single-atom doped binary alloys based on the thermochemical properties of component metals. By using a greedy algorithm, the best combination of features was determined, and the ML model was trained and verified based on a data set containing 78 alloys on which the adsorption energy values of CO2 and CO were calculated from DFT. Comparison between predicted and DFT calculated adsorption energy values suggests that the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm has excellent generalization performance, and the R-squared (R2) for CO2...

Nerolidol rescues hippocampal injury of diabetic rats through inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome and regulation of MAPK/AKT pathway
In conclusion, our study reveals for the first time that nerolidol can ameliorate hippocampal damage, neuroinflammation, synaptic, ER, and mitochondrial damage in diabetic rats. Furthermore, we suggest that nerolidol may inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation via MAPK and AKT signaling pathways. These findings provide a new experimental basis for the use of nerolidol to ameliorate diabetes-induced brain tissue damage and the associated disease. AbstractDespite the observation of diabetes-induced brain tissue damage and impaired learning and memory, the underlying mechanism of damage remains elusive, and effective, targeted ...

GSE262759 Shared Transcriptomic Signatures of Inflammaging Among Diverse Strains of Drosophila melanogaster
Contributors : Sabrina I Perna ; Weihao Tang ; Andrew Li ; Sydney D Blimbaum ; Lei ZhouSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Drosophila melanogasterBackground: A prominent hallmark of aging is inflammaging —the increased expression of innate immune genes without identifiable infection. Model organisms with shorter lifespans, such as the fruit fly, provide an essential platform for probing the mechanisms of inflammaging. Multiple groups have reported that, like mammalian models, old flies have signif icantly higher levels of expression of anti-microbial peptide genes. However, wheth...

TSS-ConvNet for electrical impedance tomography image reconstruction
The objective of this study was to propose a novel data-driven method for solving ill-posed inverse problems, particularly in certain conditions such as time-difference electrical impedance tomography for detecting the location and size of bubbles inside a pipe. Approach. We introduced a new layer architecture composed of three paths: spatial, spectral, and truncated spectral paths. The spatial path processes information locally, whereas the spectral and truncated spectral paths provide the network with a global receptive field. This unique architecture helps eliminate the ill-posedness and nonlinearity inherent in the inv...
