Meanwhile, three brain functional network parameters were calculated and analyzed: degree, clustering coefficient, and characteristic path length. fNIRS results showed that under RHI, the oxyhemoglobin (HbO) concentration increased in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), motor cortex (MC) and occipital lobe (OL). The functional connectivity between right PFC and bilateral OL was increased, while the connection level between left MC and bilateral OL was decreased. Brain network under RHI condition had smaller average degree, average clustering coefficient, and shorter average characteristic path length. Notably, the information processing and exchange functions of left MC seem to be weakened under RHI state, which was also partially corroborated by the reduced local efficiency shown in brain functional network analysis. Overall, we suggest that enhanced functional connectivity between the right MC, OL and PFC, and functional inhibition of the left MC were key to RHI production.

The current mathematical model sheds light on investigating the physiological effects of different clinical parameters on drug distribution and retention within the artery wall. A two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric cylindrical model of a typical Palmaz stent having circular struts coated with a bio-durable polymer is half-embedded in the tissue. This investigation considers two distinct drug phases - the unbound and bound phases - in the artery wall. The artery wall is considered a porous medium, and the Brinkman equation governs the interstitial fluid (ISF) flow within it. An unsteady convection-diffusion-reaction mechanism governs unbound drug transport, while that of bound drug is solely controlled by an unsteady chemical reaction. The drug delivery system also includes a reversible equilibrium mechanism to maintain the chemical reaction between the drug molecules and the receptors. Drug and momentum transport equations are solved using the Marker-and-Cell (MAC) method in staggered grid setups with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. According to simulations, there is going to be a bi-phasic decrease in unbound drug in the artery wall with a larger binding-on constant (<em>ψ</em>), and the concentration of both drug forms and the area under concentration decrease as the Peclet number (<em>Pe</em>) increases.

Approximately 10% to 15% of breast cancer patients fail to undergo timely screening, resulting in a missed opportunity for optimal treatment. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been used successfully in breast cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, current systems have encountered difficulties in achieving a high degree of accuracy, with the majority of research efforts focusing on the binary classification that distinguishes benign from malignant. Different subtypes of breast cancer require different targeted therapeutic approaches. Therefore, the precise classification of the breast cancer subtype has a major impact on treatment decisions. To improve the accuracy of breast cancer multi-classification, a novel Attention-based Mask Reconstruction Module (AMRM) is proposed to improve the performance of the model. AMRM extracts features from breast cancer histopathological images through the attention module and then performs mask reconstruction to generate reconstructed features. These reconstructed features were used in a multi-classification task to accurately classify histopathological images of breast cancer. AMRM enables the network to effectively identify background and foreground in histopathological images, reduce background interference, improve adaptability to background changes, align the features extracted by the model with the pathologist's expectations, and improve classification accuracy. Results from experiments conducted on the BreakHis dataset show that the inclusion of AMRM resulted in a significant improvement in multi-classification accuracy for the AlexNet, VGG11, ResNet-50 and Data-efficient Image Transformer (DeiT) models, reaching 88.48%, 93.40%, 96.49% and 94.10% respectively.

Early diagnosis of adenomatous polyps which are pre-cancerous abnormal tissue growth, is crucial for preventing CRC. Artificial intelligence-assisted narrow-band imaging colonoscopy can significantly increase the accuracy of polyp characterization during the endoscopy procedure. This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the performances of three different deep architectures for incorporating temporal information alongside spatial features for colon polyp classification. We employed three different models namely, time-distributed 2D CNN-LSTM, 3D CNN, and hybrid 3D CNN-ConvLSTM2D model and evaluated their performance of polyp characterization using a real-world clinical dataset of NBI colonoscopy videos of 64 different polyps from 60 patients in India. Additionally, cross-dataset validation on a publicly available dataset demonstrated the generalizability and robustness of the proposed model. The 3D CNN-ConvLSTM2D model outperforms the other two in terms of all evaluation metrics. Notably, it achieved a mean NPV of 92%, surpassing the minimum NPV threshold set by PIVI guidelines for reliable polyp diagnosis which demonstrates its suitability for real-world applications. The performance of the proposed deep architectures is also compared with some existing methods proposed by other researchers, and 3D CNN-ConvLSTM2D model demonstrates significant improvements in both NPV and overall performance metrics in comparison with the other existing methods, while also effectively reducing false positives. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of employing spatiotemporal features for accurate polyp classification.
