Determining lymphoma subtypes is a crucial step for better patient treatment targeting to potentially increase their survival chances. In this context, the existing gold standard diagnosis method, which relies on gene expression technology, is highly expensive and time-consuming, making it less accessibility. Although alternative diagnosis methods based on IHC (immunohistochemistry) technologies exist (recommended by the WHO), they still suffer from similar limitations and are less accurate.

Background: The manual segmentation of cellular structures on Z-stack microscopic images is time-consuming and often inaccurate, highlighting the need to develop auto-segmentation tools to facilitate this process.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the performance of three different machine learning architectures, including random forest (RF), AdaBoost, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP), for the autosegmentation of nuclei in proliferating cervical cancer cells on Z-Stack cellular microscopy proliferation images provided by the HCS Pharma. The impact of using post-processing techniques, such as the StarDist plugin and majority voting, was also evaluated.

Proteins are essential to nearly all cellular mechanism and the effectors of the cells activities. As such, they often interact through their surface with other proteins or other cellular ligands such as ions or organic molecules. The evolution generates plenty of different proteins, with unique abilities, but also proteins with related functions hence similar 3D surface properties (shape, physico-chemical properties, …).

The objective of this study is to analyse the length of patient stay in Pediatric emergency department according to diagnosis and the number of patients over a 3 year-period. A survival tree was used, to explore the underlying construct of overcrowding depending of the length of patient stay. The tree was used to cluster 55.
