Neural Transformers for Intraductal Papillary Mucosal Neoplasms (IPMN) Classification in MRI images [PDF]

, 2022
Early detection of precancerous cysts or neoplasms, i.e., Intraductal Papillary Mucosal Neoplasms (IPMN), in pancreas is a challenging and complex task, and it may lead to a more favourable outcome. Once detected, grading IPMNs accurately is also necessary, since low-risk IPMNs can be under surveillance program, while high-risk IPMNs have to be ...

Benign or Low-Grade Malignant Masses Occupying the Pelvic Canal Space in 11 Dogs

Animals, 2021
Dogs with benign intra-pelvic rectal or vaginal masses show symptoms indicating compression on the adjacent organs. Clinical signs usually develop late when the lesion is large enough to interfere functionally. The dogs were referred for severe fecal and/

Mathematical modelling, selection and hierarchical inference to determine the minimal dose in IFN$α$ therapy against Myeloproliferative Neoplasms [PDF]

Mathematical Medicine and Biology: A Journal of the IMA, Volume 41, Issue 2, June 2024, Pages 110-134, 2021
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) are blood cancers that appear after acquiring a driver mutation in a hematopoietic stem cell. These hematological malignancies result in the overproduction of mature blood cells and, if not treated, induce a risk of cardiovascular events and thrombosis. Pegylated IFN$\alpha$ is commonly used to treat MPN, but no clear

Computer‐aided Evaluation of Polyvalent Medications’ Pharmacological Potential. Multiphytoadaptogen as a Case Study

Molecular Informatics, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Many human diseases including cancer, degenerative and autoimmune disorders, diabetes and others are multifactorial. Pharmaceutical agents acting on a single target do not provide their efficient curation. Multitargeted drugs exhibiting pleiotropic pharmacological effects have certain advantages due to the normalization of the complex ...

Extramammary Paget's disease of the glans penis secondary to urethral recurrence of bladder carcinoma after radical cystectomy: A case report

IJU Case Reports, 2019
Introduction Extramammary Paget's disease of the vulva secondary to urothelial carcinoma is rare. It is important to determine whether extramammary Paget's disease is primary or secondary, because the appropriate treatment strategies differ.

Optimisation and validation of a co‐manipulated robot for brachytherapy procedure

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 19, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Low‐dose rate brachytherapy is the referent treatment for early‐stage prostate cancer and consists in manually inserting radioactive seeds within the organ to destroy tumorous cells. This treatment is inaccurate leading to side effects. Researchers developed robots to improve this technique.

Computational Intelligence Approach to Improve the Classification Accuracy of Brain Neoplasm in MRI Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Automatic detection of brain neoplasm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is gaining importance in many medical diagnostic applications. This report presents two improvements for brain neoplasm detection in MRI data: an advanced preprocessing technique is proposed to improve the area of interest in MRI data and a hybrid technique using Convolutional ...
