Neural Architecture Search for biomedical image classification: A comparative study across data modalities.

Deep neural networks have significantly advanced medical image classification across various modalities and tasks. However, manually designing these networks is often time-consuming and suboptimal. Neural Architecture Search (NAS) automates this process, potentially finding more efficient and effective models.

Brain malformation, neurodevelopmental disorder and epilepsy in a case of two rare genetic diseases: overlapping phenotype.

In most cases there is a single etiological factor causing neuromotor developmental delay and epilepsy while sometimes more than one gene may be involved. These include the autosomal recessive inherited CAMSAP1 gene, which is associated with cortical developmental malformations such as pachygyria and lissencephaly and the autosomal dominant inherited NBEA gene, which plays crucial roles in vesicle trafficking as well as synapse structure and function. Loss of function of both genes together is a well-known disease mechanism.

Effect of radiation dose rates and cisplatin on cytogenetic damage in rats receiving head-neck radiotherapy.

Background: We aimed to investigate effect of radiotherapy (RT) applications with different dose rates on cytogenetic damages, which focused on micronucleus (MN) formation, and evaluate how this damage varies by cisplatin in rats receiving head-neck RT.

Material And Methods: Thirty-six Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five groups. The first and second groups were irradiated at a dose rate of 300 monitor unit/minute (MU/min) and 600 MU/min, respectively.

The increased chromosomal DNA damage in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an inherited autoinflammatory disease. In this study, we aimed to assess chromosomal DNA damage and cell proliferation by using cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome (CBMN-cyt) assay in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of untreated FMF patients carrying and mutations, which are the most common gene mutations in Turkish society. The study included 20 untreated FMF patients with and mutations and 20 healthy individuals of similar age and sex as the control group.
