<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Breast cancer is one of the most frequent causes mortality among women’s population. Early diagnosis critical for successful treatment, but underscreening frequent. Novel screening methods that are more convenient, such as thermography, being developed. They could help a wider group screeners and they contribute to better compliance with thus decline in breast mortality. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The study aims explore screeners’ preferences process,...
Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is one of the best indicators for chronic alcohol abuse and detection relapse. In this study, we explore microheterogeneity β-hexosaminidase (β-HEX) in abusers framework a driver's license regranting program. Studies have shown that increased serum activity β-HEX B (isoforms P, I, B) may be sensitive marker abuse. Here, describe methodology, limitations, correlation isoforms with CDT.CDT was assayed at central laboratory Ghent University Hospital by...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Cancer is an important cause of mortality globally, and its impact can be mitigated through early detection. Despite the efficacy screening programs, their adoption remains suboptimal. Emerging technologies integrating artificial intelligence (AI) offer possibilities for improving participation in screening, as they are painless free radiation. However, AI also elicits ethical questions regarding responsible use. This study focuses on value driven solutions...
