Brain tumor detection using artificial convolutional neural networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to classify NMR images of human brains with 4 different types of tumors: meningioma, glioma and pituitary gland tumors. During the training phase of this project, an accuracy of 100% was obtained, meanwhile, in the evaluation phase the precision was 96%.

Deprenyl, an old drug with new anticancer potential: Mini review [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The anticancer potential of monoamine oxidase (MAO) was observed in pre-clinical assays conducted with cell cultures and animals. L-Deprenyl (DEP) causes apoptosis in melanoma, leukemia and mammary cells. High-dose DEP has shown toxicity in mammary and pituitary cancers, as well as in monoblastic leukemia, in rats.
