Multi-view clustering has gained significant attention due to its ability to integrate data from diverse perspectives, frequently outperforming single-view approaches. However, existing methods often assume a Gaussian distribution within the latent embedding space, which can degrade performance when handling high-dimensional data or data with complex, non ...

Background: As visual inspection is an inherent process during radiological screening, the associated eye gaze data can provide valuable insights into relevant clinical decision processes and facilitate computer-assisted diagnosis. However, the relevant techniques are still under-explored. Purpose: With deep learning becoming the state-of-the-art for com ...

Cellular immunotherapy remains hindered in the context of solid tumors due to the immunosuppressive microenvironment, in which key endothelial cell adhesion molecules (CAM) are suppressed. Microbubble-mediated focused ultrasound is being explored for targeted immunotherapy and can exert local shear stress upon neighboring endothelial cells. However, fluid ...

Cancer diagnosis requires alternative techniques that allow for early, non-invasive, or minimally invasive identification. Traditional methods, like tissue biopsies, are highly invasive and can be traumatic for patients. Liquid biopsy, a less invasive option, detects cancer biomarkers in body fluids such as blood and urine. However, early-stage cancer oft ...

Super-resolution imaging has emerged as a rapidly advancing field in diagnostic ultrasound. Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) achieves sub-wavelength precision in microvasculature imaging by tracking gas microbubbles (MBs) flowing through blood vessels. However, MB localization faces challenges due to dynamic point spread functions (PSFs) caused by ...

Concussions present a significant risk to athletes, with females exhibiting higher rates and prolonged recovery times than males. Current sideline concussion detection methods, such as the King-Devick test commonly used as a rapid screening tool designed to evaluate eye movement, attention, language, and cognitive processing abilities suffer from validity ...

Introduction: The Medical Emotion Scale has been translated into Japanese (J-MES) and validated for cross-cultural emotion research in medical education. However, its applicability for extracting Japanese cultural aspects of medical students' emotions has not been examined. This study aimed to explore the underlying latent constructs related to cultur ...

GH7 cellobiohydrolases (CBH1s) are essential for depolymerizing crystalline cellulose, yet the hypercellulolytic thermophile Rasamsonia emersonii secretes them only in low amounts, leaving a gap in its native enzyme cocktail. To see whether a cognate CBH1 could fill this gap and how it stacks up against the industrial workhorse strain Trichoderma reesei C ...

Crude oil remains a dominant global energy source but spills from pipelines, and reservoirs pose significant environmental and health risks. Remediating petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC)-contaminated soils is critical yet challenging, especially in fine-grained matrices where conventional methods underperform. In this context, electro-washing (EW), either in-si ...
