Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of radiomics features obtained by MR images to predict Breast Cancer Histological Outcome.
Methods: A total of 217 patients with malignant lesions were analysed underwent MRI examinations. Considering histological findings as the ground truth, four different types of findings were used in both univariate and multivariate analyses: (1) G1 + G2 vs G3 classification; (2) presence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2 + vs HER2 -); (3) presence of the hormone receptor (HR + vs HR -); and (4) presence of luminal subtypes of breast cancer.
Results: The best accuracy for discriminating HER2 + versus HER2 - breast cancers was obtained considering nine predictors by early phase T1-weighted subtraction images and a decision tree (accuracy of 88% on validation set). The best accuracy for discriminating HR + versus HR - breast cancers was obtained considering nine predictors by T2-weighted subtraction images and a decision tree (accuracy of 90% on validation set). The best accuracy for discriminating G1 + G2 versus G3 breast cancers was obtained considering 16 predictors by early phase T1-weighted subtraction images in a linear regression model with an accuracy of 75%. The best accuracy for discriminating luminal versus non-luminal breast cancers was obtained considering 27 predictors by early phase T1-weighted subtraction images and a decision tree (accuracy of 94% on validation set).
Conclusions: The combination of radiomics analysis and artificial intelligence techniques could be used to support physician decision-making in prediction of Breast Cancer Histological Outcome.

Metaheuristic optimization algorithms often face challenges such as complex modeling, limited adaptability, and a tendency to get trapped in local optima when solving complex optimization problems. To enhance algorithm performance, this paper proposes an enhanced Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (MESBOA) based on a precise elimination mechanism and boundary control. The algorithm integrates three key strategies: a precise population elimination strategy, which optimizes the population structure by eliminating individuals with low fitness and intelligently generating new ones; a lens imaging-based opposition learning strategy, which expands the exploration of the solution space through reflection and scaling to reduce the risk of local optima; and a boundary control strategy based on the best individual, which effectively constrains the search range to avoid inefficient searches and premature convergence.

Cervical cancer remains a significant cause of female mortality worldwide, primarily due to abnormal cell growth in the cervix. This study proposes an automated classification method to enhance detection accuracy and efficiency, addressing contrast and noise issues in traditional diagnostic approaches. The impact of image enhancement on classification performance is evaluated by comparing transfer learning-based Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models trained on both original and enhanced images.

Fetal standard plane detection is essential in prenatal care, enabling accurate assessment of fetal development and early identification of potential anomalies. Despite significant advancements in machine learning (ML) in this domain, its integration into clinical workflows remains limited-primarily due to the lack of standardized, end-to-end operational frameworks. To address this gap, we introduce FetalMLOps, the first comprehensive MLOps framework specifically designed for fetal ultrasound imaging.

This study explores deep feature representations from photoplethysmography (PPG) signals for coronary artery disease (CAD) identification in 80 participants (40 with CAD). Finger PPG signals were processed using multilayer perceptron (MLP) and convolutional neural network (CNN) autoencoders, with performance assessed via 5-fold cross-validation. The CNN autoencoder model achieved the best results (recall 96.

Unlabelled: Accurate methods to assess viral viability are crucial for determining isolation duration and antiviral therapy in immunocompromised patients. Although cell culture (CC) is the gold standard, it has limitations. Cycle threshold (Ct) values from genomic RNA (gRNA) RT-PCR and subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) RT-PCR have been proposed as markers of active viral replication.
