Random matrix analysis of Ca$^{2+}$ signals in $β$-cell collectives [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Even within small organs like pancreatic islets, different endocrine cell types and subtypes form a heterogeneous collective to sense the chemical composition of the extracellular solution and compute an adequate hormonal output. Erroneous cellular processing and hormonal output due to challenged heterogeneity result in various disorders with diabetes ...

Patient setup variation on Elekta Unity and its impact on adaptive planning

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The unique design of the MR‐linac may restrict the use of effective immobilization devices, resulting in significant patient setup variations (PSVs). The purpose of this study is to analyze the PSVs on the Elekta Unity system and investigate their impact on adaptive planning.

AI-assisted Early Detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma on Contrast-enhanced CT [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most common and aggressive types of pancreatic cancer. However, due to the lack of early and disease-specific symptoms, most patients with PDAC are diagnosed at an advanced disease stage. Consequently, early PDAC detection is crucial for improving patients' quality of life and expanding treatment ...

Facilitating 1.5T MR‐Linac adoption: Workflow strategies and practical tips

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background MR‐guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) offers new opportunities but also introduces workflow complexities requiring dedicated optimization. Implementing magnetic resonance linear accelerator (MR‐Linac) technology comes with challenges such as prolonged treatment times and workflow integration issues.

Advancing Pancreatic Cancer Prediction with a Next Visit Token Prediction Head on top of Med-BERT [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Background: Recently, numerous foundation models pretrained on extensive data have demonstrated efficacy in disease prediction using Electronic Health Records (EHRs). However, there remains some unanswered questions on how to best utilize such models especially with very small fine-tuning cohorts.
