Thesis: The Effects of Hypoxia, Metabolic Restriction and Magnetic Fields on Chromosome Instability and Karyotype Contraction in Cancer Cell Lines [PDF]
Background: Biological effects of extra-low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (MFs) have lacked a credible mechanism of interaction between MFs and living material. Objectives: To examine the effect of ELF-MFs on cancer cells. Methods: Five cancer cell lines were exposed to ELF-MFs within the range of 0.025-5 microTesla, and the cells were examined for ...

Semantic segmentation of mFISH images using convolutional networks [PDF]
Multicolor in situ hybridization (mFISH) is a karyotyping technique used to detect major chromosomal alterations using fluorescent probes and imaging techniques. Manual interpretation of mFISH images is a time consuming step that can be automated using machine learning; in previous works, pixel or patch wise classification was employed, overlooking ...

Supervised Contrastive Learning for Fine-grained Chromosome Recognition [PDF]
Chromosome recognition is an essential task in karyotyping, which plays a vital role in birth defect diagnosis and biomedical research. However, existing classification methods face significant challenges due to the inter-class similarity and intra-class variation of chromosomes.

ABSTRACT With the recent publication of new classification systems of hematopoietic neoplasms, understanding how recognition of disease entities has occurred over time and the subsequent development of formal disease classifications is of importance. This review focuses on the early recognition of myeloid disorders, especially chronic myeloid disorders,

ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic stem‐cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only potentially curative therapy for patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) and myelofibrosis (MF) and is the standard care for eligible patients with higher‐risk disease. Despite significant advancements, both diseases pose unique challenges due to their clinical and

Topics of Interest in Women With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
Women with MPN: life‐cycle phases, specific risks, and influencing factors. ABSTRACT Overview Sex and gender have emerged as central modifiers of disease biology, phenotype, and clinical outcomes in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). This review will uniquely highlight issues affecting women with MPN and articulate their relevant determinants ...
