Background Breast cancer can present as non-mass lesions (NMLs) on ultrasound. However, knowledge of and understanding about NMLs are scarce. Purpose To retrospectively investigate the final outcomes sonographic breast determine clinical radiologic variables associated with malignancy Material Methods In our database ultrasound examinations between 2011 2014, we found 119 women 121 available histopathologic or follow-up (over 2 years) data. We collected (patient’s age, symptoms, mammographic...

Acceleration sensors are usually used to measure the vibration of a structure. Although this is most accurate method, it cannot be remotely because these contact-type sensors. This makes measurement difficult in areas that easily approached by surveyors, such as structures located high or dangerous areas. Therefore, method can structural without installing required for Many conventional studies have been carried out on non–contact-type methods using cameras. However, they applied with...

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare tumor with lethal clinical course despite aggressive multimodal therapy. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may achieve good therapeutic outcome in ATC patients, and the role of IMRT should be assessed. We retrospectively reviewed outcomes for treated three-dimensional conformal (3D-CRT) or to determine optimal treatment option explore (RT). Materials and.Between December 2000 2015, 41 patients pathologically proven received RT sufficient dose...

Image processing operations require that an image or partial be stored in a memory system permits access to p × q, 1 pq, and/or pq subarrays of array where and q are design parameters.

Survival machine learning (ML) has been suggested as a useful approach for forecasting future events, but growing concern exists that ML models have the potential to cause racial disparities through data used train them. This study aims develop race/ethnicity-specific survival Hispanic and black women diagnosed with breast cancer examine whether outperform general trained all races/ethnicity data.We from US National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results programme...

Objectives: Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) is an aggressive disease and often associated with early distant metastases, which negate the role of adjuvant radiotherapy. We studied clinical utility programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) other available factors in predicting outcome TNBC. Methods: Of 539 patients newly diagnosed TNBC between 2004 2011, we analyzed 117 who had both tumor samples PD-L1 protein expression could be evaluated using immunohistochemistry initial staging 18...

This paper proposes an anomaly detection scheme based on LSTM autoencoder for energy management, which is to prevent states before they actually occur. When the prognosis of state detected, can be prevented by taking appropriate measures. However, it difficult determine normal and anomalous data, since consumption varies greatly depending weather, time, day week season. Thus, this using detect a data pattern that deviates from as state. Experimental results show discriminate observed...

Many current graphical display systems utilize a buffer memory system to contain two-dimensional image array be modified and displayed. In order speed up the update of system, it is required that accesses many points within an subarray in parallel. This paper proposes efficient for fast high-resolution system. The provides parallel pq block(p/spl times/q), horizontal (1/spl times/pq), vertical (pq/spl times/1), forward-diagonal, or backward-diagonal array, M/spl times/N, where design...

In order to reduce the memory access time for a Single-Instruction Multiple-Data stream (SIMD) computer with pq processing elements attached host computer, multiaccess system is proposed. The proposed supports simultaneous data within 4-directional block (p /spl times/ q), row (1 pq), column (pq 1), forward-diagonal, and backward-diagonal subarray constant interval in an arbitrary position M N array of elements, where number modules, m, prime greater than pq. For simple fast address...

Background Patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and coronary artery disease (CAD) represent a subset of patients high cardiovascular morbidity mortality. The optimal revascularization strategy using either percutaneous intervention (PCI) or bypass grafting (CABG) remains controversial. purpose this study was to compare the clinical outcomes PCI CABG in DN CAD. Methods angiographic records CAD who underwent (n=52) (n=48) were retrospectively analyzed. Results baseline characteristics...

We investigated whether radiomic features extracted from three-phase dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) can be used to predict clinical outcomes, including objective treatment response (OR) and in-field failure-free survival rate (IFFR), in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who received liver-directed combined radiotherapy (LD-CRT). included 409 patients, they were randomly divided into training (n = 307) validation 102) cohorts. For radiomics models, we 116 the...

Objective The study aimed to develop natural language processing (NLP) algorithms automate extracting patient-centred breast cancer treatment outcomes from clinical notes in electronic health records (EHRs), particularly for women under-represented populations. Methods used 2010 2021 a tertiary hospital the USA. were processed through various NLP techniques, including vectorisation methods (term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), Word2Vec, Doc2Vec) and classification models...

To reduce the secondary damage caused by leakage accidents in plant piping systems, a constant surveillance system is necessary. ensure leaks are promptly addressed, should be able to detect not only leak itself, but also location of leak. Recently, research develop new methods has been conducted using cameras and estimate leakage. However, existing solely whether exists or not, provide two-dimensional coordinates location. In this paper, method multiple three-dimensional presented. Leakage...

It is easy to segment the liver with existing methods using both basic place information (the exists on left of abdominal CT image) and distribution regular gray values. However, can not be used for segmenting an abnormal liver. Because values lesions do show original liver, lesion parts are regarded as in methods. In this study, we use adaptive threshold each slice angle line method segmentation images.

Early hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) is a rarely diagnosed disease, for which the optimal treatment has not been defined yet. We assessed patterns of failure and outcomes in early HPSCC treated with various therapeutic approaches to identify its treatment.Thirty-six patients stage I (n = 10) II 26) between January 1992 March 2014 were reviewed. Patients received definitive radiotherapy (RT) (R group, n 10), surgery only (S 19), or postoperative RT (PORT 7). All both R PORT...
