Article Abstract

Accurate prognostic prediction is crucial for patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) to guide personalized treatment strategies. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive prognostic model leveraging clinical factors alongside radiomics and deep learning (DL) based on CT imaging to predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) in LSCC patients. We retrospectively enrolled 349 patients with LSCC from Center 1 (training set: n = 189; internal testing set: n = 82) and Center 2 (external testing set: n = 78). A combined model was developed using Cox regression analysis to predict RFS in LSCC patients by integrating independent clinical risk factors, radiomics score (RS), and deep learning score (DLS). Meanwhile, separate clinical, radiomics, and DL models were also constructed for comparison. Furthermore, the combined model was represented visually through a nomogram to provide personalized estimation of RFS, with its risk stratification capability evaluated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The combined model achieved a higher C-index than did the clinical model, radiomics model, and DL model in the internal testing (0.810 vs. 0.634, 0.679, and 0.727, respectively) and external testing sets (0.742 vs. 0.602, 0.617, and 0.729, respectively). Additionally, following risk stratification via nomogram, patients in the low-risk group showed significantly higher survival probabilities compared to those in the high-risk group in the internal testing set [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.157, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.063-0.392, p < 0.001] and external testing set (HR = 0.312, 95% CI: 0.137-0.711, p = 0.003). The proposed combined model demonstrated a reliable and accurate ability to predict RFS in patients with LSCC, potentially assisting in risk stratification.

Automatic segmentation of retinal vessels from retinography images is crucial for timely clinical diagnosis. However, the high cost and specialized expertise required for annotating medical images often result in limited labeled datasets, which constrains the full potential of deep learning methods. Recent advances in self-supervised pretraining using unlabeled data have shown significant benefits for downstream tasks.

Self-supervised representation learning with continuous training data improves the feel and performance of myoelectric control.

Pattern recognition-based myoelectric control is traditionally trained with static or ramp contractions, but this fails to capture the dynamic nature of real-world movements. This study investigated the benefits of training classifiers with continuous dynamic data, encompassing transitions between various movement classes. We employed both conventional (LDA) and deep learning (LSTM) classifiers, comparing their performance when trained with ramp data, continuous dynamic data, and an LSTM pre-trained with a self-supervised learning technique (VICReg).

Background: Primary liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses significant clinical challenges due to late-stage diagnosis, tumor heterogeneity, and rapidly evolving therapeutic strategies. While systematic reviews and meta-analyses are essential for updating clinical guidelines, their labor-intensive nature limits timely evidence synthesis.

Objective: This study proposes an automated literature screening workflow powered by large language models (LLMs) to accelerate evidence synthesis for HCC treatment guidelines.

For effective treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to identify the species causing the infection as early as possible. Current methods typically require hours of overnight culturing of a bacterial sample and a larger quantity of cells to function effectively. This study uses one-hour phase-contrast time-lapses of single-cell bacterial growth collected from microfluidic chip traps, also known as a "mother machine".

With the rapid development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, defect detection of electronic products has become crucial in the production process. Traditional defect detection methods often face the problems of insufficient accuracy and inefficiency when dealing with complex backgrounds, tiny defects, and multiple defect types. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes Y-MaskNet, a multi-task joint learning framework based on YOLOv5 and Mask R-CNN, which aims to improve the accuracy and efficiency of defect detection and segmentation in electronic products.
