This paper presents a MATLAB-based multi-objective computational model to optimize laser power and exposure time for Laser-Induced Thermotherapy (LITT), aiming to maximize breast tumor ablation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
This meta-systematic review of 130 clinical AI studies reveals a significant "trust gap" where technical performance is prioritized over meaningful ethical integration, as evidenced by a 21.4% alignment between claimed and actual engagement with trust-related considerations, prompting the proposal of a new multidimensional framework for more responsible AI implementation.
This study validates the Italian version of the Food Addiction Symptom Inventory (FASI) in a sample of eating disorder patients, confirming its one-factor structure, internal consistency, and partial measurement invariance across diagnostic groups while highlighting the need for further research to distinguish addictive-like eating from restraint-driven behaviors in restrictive subtypes.
This study demonstrates that endothelial dysfunction in post-COVID-19 patients, characterized by impaired flow-mediated dilation and an imbalance of vasoactive biomarkers, persists three months after recovery and correlates directly with the initial clinical severity of the infection.
This study optimizes large-scale diphtheria toxoid production by demonstrating that liquid ammonium sulfate precipitation combined with Sephadex G-75 gel filtration offers a cost-effective and efficient purification method suitable for industrial vaccine manufacturing.
In a competing risk analysis of 3,678 sepsis survivors with COPD from the MIMIC-IV database, lower albumin-corrected anion gap and congestive heart failure were identified as independent predictors of 90-day hospital readmission, with the latter's statistical significance attenuated by the high competing risk of death.
This study demonstrates that applying Kern's Six-Step framework to a resident-driven, mixed-methods needs assessment across didactic, simulation, and clinical domains successfully guided comprehensive curriculum reforms in a general surgery residency program, resulting in measurable improvements in educational quality.
This prospective validation study demonstrates that serially measured energy availability tracks the IOC REDs CAT2 severity gradient, confirming lower energy availability in athletes classified with REDs—particularly in weight-sensitive sports and males with suppressed testosterone—while noting that findings remain hypothesis-generating due to sample limitations.
This study demonstrates that a high-voltage, sinusoidally driven atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet effectively induces apoptosis and reduces viability in human bladder cancer cells, with enhanced efficacy observed in chemoresistant lines and when oxygen is supplemented to the gas flow.
This case-control study demonstrates that drug-naïve patients with obsessive–compulsive disorder exhibit significant corneal neuroinflammatory alterations, characterized by increased dendritic cell density and reduced nerve fiber parameters via corneal confocal microscopy, suggesting these noninvasive ocular biomarkers may reflect underlying neuroimmune mechanisms in the disorder.
