The study introduces a GeneXAI multi-modal approach, which classifies the cancer stages and identifies the influential genes by the explainable artificial intelligence models. In the first phase of the GeneXAI, a hybrid optimal feature selection method is applied to extract the imperative features using an early fusion technique. By using the imperative features, the stages of tumor, lymph nodes, and metastasis are identified, and finally, the accurate stage of cancer is classified. In the second phase, XAI such as SHAP and LIME has been utilized to identify the best genes for distinct cancer stages. Moreover, the genomic dataset's top genes were found using SHAP, while crucial genes were found by instance using LIME. Some influential genes such as (PLA2G10, MST1R F13B, and CAMK1) identified by the GeneXAI model, have also been recognized as equally important genes in the state-of-the-art biological models. The model illustrates the process of classifying the influential genes as prognostic or non-prognostic based on their clinical importance.

We found that inhibition of the blastocyst cavity expansion, either through hypertonic exposure or through disruption of TE cortical tension, suppresses the level of 5 MC (5-Methylcytosine) marker of DNA methylation. As a key upstream regulator of 5 MC, the expression variance of DNMT3L (DNA methyltransferase 3-like protein) is similar to that of 5 MC during the embryonic stages E2.5 to E3.5.

With regard to the elderly population all over the world, Alzheimer's disease is the seventh largest cause of mortality, disability, and reliance. Depression, social isolation, inactivity, alcohol, smoking, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and age are all variables that can increase the likelihood of getting dementia. Other risk factors include social isolation, depression, and smoking. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease at an earlier stage may improve the odds of receiving care and therapy. Medical professionals often diagnose AD based on a limited number of symptoms. On the other hand, it is now possible to identify and categorize Alzheimer's disease (AD) because of technological advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI). However, to identify the current AI-enabled approaches, we must conduct an investigation into the state of the art. This breakthrough in diagnosis methodologies will enable the development of the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), capable of automatically diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) without human expertise. In this publication, we conduct a systematic review of sixty research articles previously reviewed by other researchers. The systematic review sheds light on the synthesis of new knowledge and ideas. This study discusses the current approaches for machine learning, deep learning methods, ensemble models, transfer learning, and methods used for early Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. This paper provides answers to a large number of research issues and synthesizes fresh information that is helpful to the reader on many elements of AI-enabled approaches for Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.

They are particularly relevant in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies. The equations deal with uncoupled (−1/2) spins associated with three-dimensional spatial dynamics represented by diffusion and flow. The proposed method recommends using an unopened Kronecker product for evolution generators to minimize the simulation time and reduce the occupied computer memory. Two and three-dimensional diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging associated with four pairs of coupled spin systems were utilized to achieve the study's goals. Utilizing four pairs of coupled spin systems in MRI simulation enhances accuracy and realism in modeling interactions between spins, leading to improved tissue characterization and diagnostic capabilities.
