Objective: The objective of this study is to develop an automated method for segmenting spleen computed tomography (CT) images using a deep learning model. This approach is intended to address the limitations of manual segmentation, which is known to be susceptible to inter-observer variability. Subsequently, a prediction model of gastric cancer (GC) serosal invasion was constructed in conjunction with radiomics and deep learning features, and a nomogram was generated to explore the clinical guiding significance.

Subsequently, a prediction model for gastric cancer (GC) differentiation was constructed alongside radiomics, and a nomogram was generated to investigate its clinical guiding significance.
Methods: This study enrolled 262 patients with pathologically confirmed GC.
Membrane bioreactors are gaining interest for the control of contaminated air streams. In this study, the removal of toluene and n-hexane vapours in a hollow fibre membrane bioreactor (HFMB) was investigated. The focus was on quantifying the possible interactions occurring during the simultaneous biotreatment of the two volatile pollutants.
