BRAF Detection in FNAC Combined with Semi-Quantitative Tc-MIBI Technique and AI Model, an Economic and Efficient Predicting Tool for Malignancy in Thyroid Nodules.

Background: Technology allows us to predict a histopathological diagnosis, but the high costs prevent the large-scale use of these possibilities. The current liberal indication for surgery in benign thyroid conditions led to a rising frequency of incidental thyroid carcinoma, especially low-risk papillary micro-carcinomas.

Methods: We selected a cohort of 148 patients with thyroid nodules by ultrasound characteristics and investigated them by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)and prospective BRAF collection for 70 patients.

BM-MSCs alleviate diabetic nephropathy in male rats by regulating ER stress, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptotic pathways.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a chronic kidney disease, is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease worldwide. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have become a promising option to mitigate several diabetic complications. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in a rat model of STZ-induced DN.

Experimental Study of a Deep-Learning RGB-D Tracker for Virtual Remote Human Model Reconstruction.

Tracking movements of the body in a natural living environment of a person is a challenging undertaking. Such tracking information can be used as a part of detecting any onsets of anomalies in movement patterns or as a part of a remote monitoring environment. The tracking information can be mapped and visualized using a virtual avatar model of the tracked person.
