Similarities vs. key discrepancy between tuberculosis and cancer [PDF]
In 2015 in the United States 612,000 persons died from cancer whereas only 470 died from tuberculosis (TB), a disease which was the main cause of death around 1900. How can one explain such a key discrepancy in treatment progress? A statistical comparison between TB and cancer will give some clues.

Explainable machine learning for neoplasms diagnosis via electrocardiograms: an externally validated study [PDF]
Background: Neoplasms remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with timely diagnosis being crucial for improving patient outcomes. Current diagnostic methods are often invasive, costly, and inaccessible to many populations. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data, widely available and non-invasive, has the potential to serve as a tool for neoplasms ...

Review: the development of neural stem cell biology and technology in regenerative medicine [PDF]
In the middle of the last century, it has been known that neural stem cells (NSCs) play a key role in regenerative medicine to cure the neurodegenerative disease. This review article covers about the introduction to neural stem cell biology and the isolation, differentiation and transplantation methods/techniques of neural stem cells.

Automated Detection of Systematic Off-label Drug Use in Free Text of Electronic Medical Records. [PDF]
Off-label use of a drug occurs when it is used in a manner that deviates from its FDA label. Studies estimate that 21% of prescriptions are off-label, with only 27% of those uses supported by evidence of safety and efficacy.

Quantum Physics in Neuroscience and Psychology: A New Theory With Respect to Mind/Brain Interaction [PDF]
The cognitive frame in which most neuropsychological research on the neural basis of behavior is conducted contains the assumption that brain mechanisms per se fully suffice to explain all psychologically described phenomena. This assumption stems from the idea that the brain is made up entirely of material particles and fields, and that all causal ...
