Article Abstract
Holistic and multi-disciplinary responses should be prioritized given the depth and breadth through which corruption in the healthcare sector can cover. Here, taking the Peruvian context as an example, we will reflect on the issue of corruption in health systems, including corruption with roots within and outside the health sector, and ongoing efforts to combat it. Our reflection of why corruption in health systems in settings with individual and systemic corruption should be an issue that is taken more seriously in Peru and beyond aligns with broader global health goals of improving health worldwide. Addressing corruption also serves as a pragmatic approach to health system strengthening and weakens a barrier to achieving universal health coverage and Sustainable Development Goals related to health and justice. Moreover, we will argue that by pushing towards a practice of normalizing the conversation about corruption in health has additional benefits, including expanding the problematization to a wider audience and therefore engaging with communities. For young researchers and global health professionals with interests in improving health systems in the early career stages, corruption in health systems is an issue that could move to the forefront of the list of global health challenges. This is a challenge that is uniquely multi-disciplinary, spanning the health, economy, and legal sectors, with wider societal implications.

A network-assisted joint image and motion estimation approach for robust 3D MRI motion correction across severity levels.

Krembil Brain Institute, University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Purpose: The purpose of this work was to develop and evaluate a novel method that leverages neural networks and physical modeling for 3D motion correction at different levels of corruption.
Methods: The novel method ("UNet+JE") combines an existing neural network ("UNet") with a physics-informed algorithm for jointly estimating motion parameters and the motion-compensated image ("JE"). UNet and UNet+JE were trained on two training datasets separately with different distributions of motion corruption severity and compared to JE as a benchmark.

Early warning signals (EWSs) are vital for implementing preventive measures before a disease turns into a pandemic. While new diseases exhibit unique behaviours, they often share fundamental characteristics from a dynamical systems perspective. Moreover, measurements during disease outbreaks are often corrupted by different noise sources, posing challenges for time-series classification (TSC) tasks.

Kidney cancer is among the top 10 most common malignancies in adults, and is commonly evaluated with four-phase computed tomography (CT) imaging. However, the presence of missing or corrupted images remains a significant problem in medical imaging that impairs the detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning of kidney cancer. Deep learning approaches through conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs) have recently shown technical promise in the task of imputing missing imaging data from these four-phase studies.
