According to news originating from Jinan, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "This st udy aims to investigate the feasibility of preoperatively predicting histologica l subtypes of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) using machine learning a nd radiomics based on multiparameter MRI. Patients with PitNETs from January 201 6 to May 2022 were retrospectively enrolled from four medical centers." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Shandong Provincial Hospital, "A cfVBNet network was used to automatically segment PitNET multipar ameter MRI. Radiomics features were extracted from the MRI, and the radiomics sc ore (Radscore) of each patient was calculated. To predict histological subtypes, the Gaussian process (GP) machine learning classifier based on radiomics featur es was performed. Multi-classification (six-class histological subtype) and bina ry classification (PRL vs. non-PRL) GP model was constructed. Then, a clinical-r adiomics nomogram combining clinical factors and Radscores was constructed using the multivariate logistic regression analysis. The performance of the models wa s evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The PitNET aut osegmentation model eventually achieved the mean Dice similarity coefficient of 0.888 in 1206 patients (mean age 49.3 ± SD years, 52% female). In the multi-classification model, the GP of T2WI got the best area under the ROC curve (AUC), with 0.791, 0.801, and 0.711 in the training, validation, and exter nal testing set, respectively. In the binary classification model, the GP of T2W I combined with CE T1WI demonstrated good performance, with AUC of 0.936, 0.882, and 0.791 in training, validation, and external testing sets, respectively. In the clinical-radiomics nomogram, Radscores and Hardy' grade were identified as p redictors for PRL expression."

According to news originating from Lisbon, Portugal, by NewsRx correspon dents, research stated, "Communication among some older adults is affected by co gnitive and mobility impairments. This increases isolation, particularly for tho se residing in care homes, and leads to accelerated cognitive decline." Financial supporters for this research include ShiftHRI project, a CMU Portugal Exploratory Project - Fundaco para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT), LASIGE Research Unit, Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia (FCT), FCT|FCCN (b-on). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of L isbon, "Previous research has leveraged assistive robots to promote recreational routines and communication among older adults, with the robot leading the inter action. However, older adults could have more agency in the interaction, as robo ts could extend elders' intentions and needs. Therefore, we explored an approach whereby the robot's agency is shifted to the older adults who lead the interact ion by commanding a robot's actions using interactive physical blocks (tangible blocks). We conducted sessions with 22 care home dwellers where they could excha nge messages and objects using the robot. Based on older adults' observed behavi ors during the sessions and perspectives gathered from interviews with geriatric professionals, we reflect on the opportunities and challenges for increased use r agency and the asymmetries that emerged from differing abilities and personali ty traits."

According to news reporting out of Nanjing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "For slender FRP columns, predict ing the global buckling critical loads is crucial in structural design." Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Army Engineering Un iversity of PLA: "However, there is a lack of a consensus prediction method base d on specialized domain knowledge. To address this issue, this study created a c omprehensive database by collecting 365 experimental data related to global buck ling of axially loaded pultruded FRP columns to predict buckling critical loads using such machine learning methods as extreme gradient boosting, artificial neu ral network, and support vector regression. The prediction accuracy and stabilit y of the machine learning prediction methods were evaluated, and the interpretab ility of the features was analyzed in depth. The results show that the predictio n accuracy of the traditional theoretical methods is low, while that of the mach ine learning methods is high. The contribution of geometric parameters to the bu ckling critical load is more than 80 %."

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News-Investigators publish new report on chemical engi neering. According to news originating from Quezon City, Philippines, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "The demand for engineering graduates with technic al skills in data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (A I) is now growing." Financial supporters for this research include University of The Philippines Dil iman. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University of the P hilippines: "Chemical engineering (ChemE) departments around the world are curre ntly addressing this skills gap by instituting AI or ML elective courses in thei r program. However, designing such a course is difficult since the issue of whic h ML models to teach and the depth of theory to be discussed remains unclear. In this paper, we present a graduate-level ML course particularly designed such th at students will be able to apply ML for research in ChemE. To achieve this, the course intends to cover a wide selection of ML models with emphasis on their mo tivations, derivations, and training algorithms, followed by their applications to ChemE-related data sets. We argue that this algorithmic approach to teaching ML can help broaden the capabilities of students since they can judge for themse lves which tool to use when, even for problems outside the process industries, o r they can modify the methods to test novel ideas. We found that students remain engaged in the mathematical details as long as every topic is properly motivate d and the gaps in the required statistical and computer science concepts are fil led."

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Oncology - Prostate Ca ncer is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Innsbruck, A ustria, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "While collagen density has been ass ociated with poor outcomes in various cancers, its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains elusive. Our aim was to analyze collagen-related transcriptomic, proteo mic, and urinome alterations in the context of detection of clinically significa nt PCa (csPCa, International Society of Urological Pathology [ISUP] grade group 2)." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Medical Univers ity of Innsbruck, "Comprehensive analyses for PCa transcriptome (n = 1393), prot eome (n = 104), and urinome (n = 923) data sets focused on 55 collagen-related g enes. Investigation of the cellular source of collagen-related transcripts via s ingle-cell RNA sequencing was conducted. Statistical evaluations, clustering, an d machine learning models were used for data analysis to identify csPCa signatur es. Differential expression of 30 of 55 collagen-related genes and 34 proteins w as confirmed in csPCa in comparison to benign prostate tissue or ISUP 1 cancer. A collagen-high cancer cluster exhibited distinct cellular and molecular charact eristics, including fibroblast and endothelial cell infiltration, intense extrac ellular matrix turnover, and enhanced growth factor and inflammatory signaling. Robust collagen-based machine learning models were established to identify csPCa . The models outcompeted prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and age, showing compar able performance to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in predic ting csPCa. Of note, the urinome-based collagen model identified four of five cs PCa cases among patients with Prostate Imaging- Reporting and Data System (PI-IRA DS) 3 lesions, for which the presence of csPCa is considered equivocal. The retr ospective character of the study is a limitation. Collagen-related transcriptome , proteome, and urinome signatures exhibited superior accuracy in detecting csPC a in comparison to PSA and age. The collagen signatures, especially in cases of ambiguous lesions on mpMRI, successfully identified csPCa and could potentially reduce unnecessary biopsies. The urinome-based collagen signature represents a p romising liquid biopsy tool that requires prospective evaluation to improve the potential of this collagenbased approach to enhance diagnostic precision in PCa for risk stratification and guiding personalized interventions."

According to news reporting originating from Fuzhou, Peop le's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Although the re are various model-based approaches to individualized vancomycin (VCM) adminis tration, few have been reported for adult patients with periprosthetic joint inf ection (PJI). This work attempted to develop a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting VCM trough concentration in adult PJI patients." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Fuzhou University, "The dataset of 287 VCM trough concentrations from 130 adult PJI patients was split into a training set (229) and a testing set (58) at a ratio of 8:2, and an indep endent external 32 concentrations were collected as a validation set. A total of 13 covariates and the target variable (VCM trough concentration) were included in the dataset. A covariate model was respectively constructed by support vector regression, random forest regression and gradient boosted regression trees and interpreted by SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP). The SHAP plots visualized th e weight of the covariates in the models, with estimated glomerular filtration r ate and VCM daily dose as the 2 most important factors, which were adopted for t he model construction. Random forest regression was the optimal ML algorithm wit h a relative accuracy of 82.8% and absolute accuracy of 67.2% (R =.61, mean absolute error = 2.4, mean square error = 10.1), and its predictio n performance was verified in the validation set. The proposed ML-based model ca n satisfactorily predict the VCM trough concentration in adult PJI patients."
