A SAM2 and VLM-Based Automatic Radiological Reporting System for Pneumothorax Detection

Background/Objectives: Pneumothorax, caused by air accumulation in the pleural space, can lead to lung collapse and, if diagnosis is delayed, respiratory or cardiovascular deterioration. Most deep-learning studies on pneumothorax address cl...

Comparison of Neighborhood-Scale, Residential Property Flood-Loss Assessment Methodologies

Leading flood loss estimation models include Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Hazus, FEMA’s Flood Assessment Structure Tool (FAST), and (U.S.) Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Flood Impact Analysis (HEC-FIA), with each requirin...

An Intelligent Fuzzy System for Diabetes Disease Detection using Harris Hawks Optimization

This paper proposed a fuzzy expert system for diagnosing diabetes. In the proposed method, at first, the fuzzy rules are generated based on the Pima Indians Diabetes Database (PIDD) and then the fuzzy membership functions are tuned using th...

Enhanced Deep Learning Model for Classification of Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography Images

Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is a valuable tool for assessing the condition of the back part of the eye. The condition has a great effect on the specificity of diagnosis, the monitoring of many physiological and pathol...

Causal relationship between genetic-predicted uric acid and cervical cancer risk: evidence for nutritional intervention on cervical cancer prevention

IntroductionThe relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and cervical cancer is inconclusive. This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between SUA levels and cervical cancer incidence, and to evaluate the potential role of n...

Anthropology and the development encounter: the making and marketing of development anthropology

Since the end of World War II, relations between industrialized nations and Third World countries have been greatly determined and mediated by the discourses and practices of “development.” Although anthropologists in general have not prob‐...

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of community perinatal mental health services on access, experience, recovery/relapse and obstetric and neonate outcomes: the ESMI-II mixed-methods study

Background Perinatal mental health disorders affect one in five mothers during pregnancy or within 2 years post childbirth. These disorders can lead to poor pregnancy and childbirth outcomes and maternal deaths. Additionally, they negativel...

Deletion of hepatic carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) impairs glucose homeostasis and hepatic insulin sensitivity in mice

Objective: Carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) is a transcription factor that responds to glucose and activates genes involved in the glycolytic and lipogenic pathways. Recent studies have linked adipose ChREBP to insulin...
