Article Abstract
We present a statistical mechanical model to describe the dynamics of an arbitrary cotransport system. Our starting point was the alternating access mechanism, which suggests the existence of six states for the cotransport cycle. Then we determined the 14 transition probabilities between these states, including a leak pathway, and used them to write a set of Master Equations for describing the time evolution of the system. The agreement between the asymptotic behavior of this set of equations and the result obtained from thermodynamics is a confirmation that leakage is compatible with the static head equilibrium condition and that our model has captured the essential physics of cotransport. In addition, the model correctly reproduced the transport dynamics found in the literature.

Background: Advanced diffusion models have been introduced to improve characterization of tissue microstructure in breast cancer assessment.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of monoexponential apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), time-dependent diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (td-dMRI), and the Continuous-Time Random-Walk (CTRW) diffusion model for differentiating breast lesions and predicting Ki-67 expression levels.
Methods: Fifty-three consecutive patients with suspected breast lesions undergoing preoperative MRI were enrolled in this prospective investigation.

Polypharmacy during tuberculosis (TB) treatment, particularly in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM), significantly increases the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) due to complex drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Existing computational methods primarily focus on pairwise drug interactions, often failing to capture the multifactorial nature of ADRs in polypharmacy contexts. To address this gap, we developed PolyCheck, a hybrid predictive model that integrates network-based and rule-based methods to identify potential ADRs arising from multi-drug regimens.

Background: Joint modeling is widely used in medical research to properly analyze longitudinal biomarkers and survival outcomes simultaneously and to guide appropriate interventions in public health. However, such models become increasingly complex and computationally intensive when accounting for multiple features of these outcomes. The need for computationally efficient methods in joint modeling of competing risks survival outcomes and longitudinal biomarkers is particularly critical in clinical and epidemiological settings, where prompt decision-making is essential.

Understanding the viscoelastic properties of cells is essential for studying their mechanical behavior and identifying disease-related biomechanical markers. This paper proposes an integrated framework that combines fractional modeling with automated algorithm design to fit force-relaxation data acquired through atomic force microscopy. We employ the fractional-order zener model to describe cell relaxation curves and formulate the parameter estimation as a black-box optimization problem.

In high-precision inertial navigation systems, suppressing the random errors of a fiber-optic gyroscope is of great importance. However, the traditional rule-based autoregressive moving average modeling method, when applied in Kalman filtering considering colored noise, presents inherent disadvantages in principle, including inaccurate state equations and difficulties in state dimension expansion. To this end, the noise characteristics in the fiber-optic gyroscope signal are first deeply analyzed, a random error model form is clarified, and a new model-order determination criterion is proposed to achieve the high-precision modeling of random errors.
