Background: The risk stratification system of the American College Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) for thyroid nodules is affected by low diagnostic specificity. Machine learning (ML) methods can optimize performance in medical image analysis. However, it unknown which ML-based pattern more effective improving reducing nodule biopsies. Therefore, we compared ML-assisted visual approaches radiomics with ACR TI-RADS unnecessary fine-needle aspiration biopsy...

Objective To investigate the feasibility of remotely providing routine ultrasound (US) examinations to patients using a fifth‐generation‐based robot‐assisted tele‐ultrasonography (RATU) system in real‐world setting. Methods Between September 2020 and May 2021, we conducted prospective large‐scale study RATU provide US for on limited‐source island locate. An on‐site radiologist performed examinations, which served as reference diagnosis. Five tele‐radiologists then from Central Shanghai. We...
This paper presents a basic model for the therapeutic effect of two drugs on patients with early cervical cancer. Two cases are considered: constant control and optimal control. For case one, system is proved to have unique non-negativity solution if initial values positive; then sufficient conditions existence stability equilibriums derived; Hopf bifurcation also considered. two, by using Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, we get solution. Some examples numerical simulations presented....
Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation lipid peroxides. Recent research has suggested that ferroptosis in osteoblasts contributes to steroid-induced osteonecrosis femoral head (SONFH). However, relationship between and SONFH remains unclear. In this study, vitro experiments show dexamethasone (Dex) treatment reduces expressions key regulators, SLC7A11 GPX4, MC3T3-E1 cells. This reduction leads decrease intracellular glutathione...
