According to news origin ating from Vilnius, Lithuania, by NewsRx correspondents, researchstated, “Papil lary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is one of the most common, well-differentiated carc inomasof the thyroid gland. PTC nodules are often surrounded by a collagen caps ule that prevents the spread ofcancer cells.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Center for Physical Sciences and Technology,“However, as the malignant tumor progresses, the integ rity of this protective barrier is compromised,and cancer cells invade the surr oundings. The detection of capsular invasion is, therefore, crucial for thediag nosis and the choice of treatment and the development of new approaches aimed at the increase ofdiagnostic performance are of great importance. In the present study, we exploited the wide-field secondharmonic generation (SHG) microscopy i n combination with texture analysis and unsupervised machinelearning (ML) to ex plore the possibility of quantitative characterization of collagen structure in the capsuleand designation of different capsule areas as either intact, disrupt ed by invasion, or apt to invasion.Two-step k-means clustering showed that the collagen capsules in all analyzed tissue sections were highlyheterogeneous and exhibited distinct segments described by characteristic ML parameter sets. The l atterallowed a structural interpretation of the collagen fibers at the sites of overt invasion as fragmented andcurled fibers with rarely formed distributed n etworks. Clustering analysis also distinguished areas in thePTC capsule that we re not categorized as invasion sites by the initial histopathological analysis b ut couldbe recognized as prospective micro-invasions after additional inspectio n. The characteristic features ofsuspicious and invasive sites identified by th e proposed unsupervised ML approach can become a reliablecomplement to existing methods for diagnosing encapsulated PTC, increase the reliability of diagnosis,simplify decision making, and prevent human-related diagnostic errors.”

According to news originatingfrom Cagliari, Italy, by Ne wsRx correspondents, research stated, “How are abstract concepts formed andreco gnized on the basis of a previous experience? It is interesting to compare the b ehavior of humanminds and of artificial intelligences with respect to this prob lem. Generally, a human mind that abstractsa concept (say, table), from a given set of known examples creates a table-Gestalt: a kind of vague andout of focus image that does not fully correspond to a particular table with well determined features.”Funders for this research include Ubiquitous Quantum Reality (UQR): understandin g the naturalprocesses under the light of quantum-like structures, Fondazione B anco di Sardegna, Ministry of Education,Universities and Research (MIUR), TUEV SUED Foundation, Federal Ministry of Education & Research(BMBF), Free State of Bavaria under the Excellence Strategy of the Federal Government an d the Laender,Technical University of Munich-Institute for Advanced Study.

According to newsreporting out of Lexington, Kentucky, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Landslides, specifically thosetriggered t hrough an increase of soil moisture either during or after a rainfall event, pos e severe threatsto surrounding infrastructure. Herein, the term ‘landslide’ ref ers primarily to translational movements ofshallow colluvial soil upon a hillsl ope.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of K entucky, “Theselandslides are assumed to adhere to infinite slope approximation s. Potential landslide occurrences aremonitored through identification of areas susceptible to occurrence, through susceptibility analyses, or areaslikely to experience a landslide at a given time, through hazard analyses. Traditional lan dslide susceptibilitysystems are created as a function of static geomorphologic data. This is to say that, while spatially differing,susceptibility via this s ystem does not change with time. Landslide hazard analyses consider dynamic data, such as that of precipitation, and provide warnings of when landslide occurren ces are likely. However,these hazard analysis systems typically only provide wa rnings in near real time (i.e., over the next fewdays). Therefore, dynamic susc eptibility (susceptibility that is seen to change with time rather than remains tatic) as well as the ability to forecast landslide hazard analyses beyond real time is desired. The studyherein presents a novel workflow for the creation of dynamic landslide susceptibility and forecastable hazardanalyses over a domain within Eastern Kentucky. Dynamic susceptibility was developed through inclusionof static geomorphic parameters and dynamic vegetation levels over sites of inte rest. These susceptibilitydata were used in the development of a logistic regre ssion classification machine learning approach whichyielded susceptibility clas sifications with an accuracy of 89%. Forecastable hazard analyses w ere developedas a function of forecasted soil moisture, assumed to be a control ling factor in landslide occurrence, overa site. Forecasting of soil moisture w as conducted through development of a Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM) forecasting machine learning system. Forecasts of soil moisture were then assimilated into a ninfinite slope stability equation to provide forecasts of hazard analyses. The se forecasted hazard analyseswere investigated over known landslides with satis factory results obtained.”

Thic kblood smears (TBS) are the gold standard for diagnosing malaria, but their col oration quality is dependenton supplies and adherence to standard protocols.”Funders for this research include Facebook Inc., CV4GC 2019 RFP Research Award, Pontificia UniversidadJaveriana, M.Sc. program in Bioengineering at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Pontifical Universi ty Javeriana, “Machinelearning has been proposed to automate diagnosis, but the impact of smear coloration on parasite detectionhas not yet been fully explore d. To develop Coloration Analysis in Malaria (CAM), an image databasecontaining 600 images was created. The database was randomly divided into training (70% ), validation (15%), and test (15%) sets. Nineteen fea ture vectors were studied based on variances, correlation coefficients,and hist ograms (specific variables from histograms, full histograms, and principal compo nents from thehistograms). The Machine Learning Matlab Toolbox was used to sele ct the best candidate featurevectors and machine learning classifiers. The cand idate classifiers were then tuned for validation andtested to ultimately select the best one. This work introduces CAM, a machine learning system designedfor automatic TBS image quality analysis. The results demonstrated that the cubic SV M classifieroutperformed others in classifying coloration quality in TBS, achie ving a true negative rate of 95% anda true positive rate of 97% . An image-based approach was developed to automatically evaluate thecoloration quality of TBS. This finding highlights the potential of image-based analysis t o assess TBScoloration quality.”

Accordingto news reporting out of Colleg e Park, Maryland, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Currentdevelopments in s ingle-cell mass spectrometry (MS) aim to deepen proteome coverage while enhancin ganalytical speed to study entire cell populations, one cell at a time. Custom- built microanalytical capillaryelectrophoresis (mCE) played a critical role in the foundation of discovery single-cell MS proteomics.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of M aryland, “However,requirements for manual operation, substantial expertise, and low measurement throughput have so farhindered mCE-based single-cell studies o n large numbers of cells. Here, we design and construct a roboticcapillary (Rob oCap) platform that grants single-cell CE-MS with automation for proteomes limit ed to lessthan 100 nL. RoboCap remotely controls precision actuators to transla te the sample to the fused silicaseparation capillary, using vials in this work . The platform is hermetically enclosed and actively pressurizedto inject 1-250 nL of the sample into a CE separation capillary, with errors below 5% relative standarddeviation (RSD). The platform and supporting equipment were op erated and monitored remotely on acustom-written Virtual Instrument (LabView). Detection performance was validated empirically on 5-250nL portions of the HeLa proteome digest using a trapped ion mobility mass spectrometer (timsTOF PRO).R oboCap improved CE-ESI sample utilization to 20% from 3% on the manual mCE, the closest referencetechnology. Proof-of-principle experime nts found proteome identification and quantification to robustlyreturn 1,800 pr oteins ( 13% RSD) from 20 ng of the HeLa proteome digest on this e arlier-generationdetector.”

According to newsreporting out of Brisbane, Austral ia, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Microwave ablation (MWA)has gained att ention as a minimally invasive and safe alternative to surgical intervention for patients withsmall renal masses; however, its cost-effectiveness in Australia remains unclear. This study conducteda cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate the relative clinical and economic merits of MWA compared torobotic-assisted pa rtial nephrectomy (RA-PN) in the treatment of small renal masses.”Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Queensland Univ ersity of Technology,“A Markov state-transition model was constructed to simula te the progression of Australian patients withsmall renal masses treated with M WA versus RA-PN over a 10-year horizon. Transition probabilities andutility dat a were sourced from comprehensive literature reviews, and cost data were estimat ed from theAustralian health system perspective. Life-years, quality-adjusted l ife-years (QALYs), and lifetime costswere estimated. Modelled uncertainty was a ssessed using both deterministic and probabilistic sensitivityanalyses. A willi ngness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $50,000 per QALY was adopted. All costs are expressedin 2022 Australian dollars and discounted at 3% annually. To assess the broader applicability of our findings,a validated cost- adaptation method was employed to extend the analysis to 8 other high-income cou ntries.Both the base case and cost-adaptation analyses revealed that MWA domina ted RA-PN, producing bothlower costs and greater effectiveness over 10 years. T he cost-effectiveness outcome was robust acrossall model parameters. Probabilis tic sensitivity analyses confirmed that MWA was dominant in 98.3%of simulations at the designated WTP threshold, underscoring the reliability of the model under varyingassumptions.”

    Investigators from Fudan University Release New Data on ArtificialIntelligence (Artificial Intelligence Products and Their Influence OnIndividuals’ Objectific ation: a Narrative Review)

According to newsreporting originating from Sha nghai, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, researchstated, “W ith the advancement of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has permeated va rious aspects ofour social lives. AI products exhibit significant gender biases that may contribute to both self-objectificationand the sexual objectification of others.”Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Fudan University, “Desp ite this, the impactof AI products on individuals’ objectification and self-obj ectification has not been thoroughly examined,with the mechanisms involved and potential moderating factors remaining unclear. This paper offers aconcise synt hesis and review of the extensive literature on gender bias in AI and sexual obj ectification,covering research up to October 2023. Synthetic analysis indicates that AI products exhibit pronouncedgender biases and cues of sexual objectific ation in both internal attributes, such as algorithms, and externalattributes, such as voice and appearance. These biases may affect an individual’s self-objec tification andthe sexual objectification of others. Internalization, social com parison, and dehumanization are identified askey mechanisms through which AI pr oducts affect individuals’ objectification. Factors like the performancecharact eristics of AI products, individual psychological traits, and human-AI interacti on characteristics mayplay a moderating role. Finally, this paper suggests futu re research directions, including focusing on howto reduce gender bias in AI de sign, exploring the mechanisms through which AI influences objectification,and identifying protective factors involved in this process, as well as addressing t he limitations of existingresearch.”
