Advancing breast cancer diagnosis: token vision transformers for faster and accurate classification of histopathology images.

The vision transformer (ViT) architecture, with its attention mechanism based on multi-head attention layers, has been widely adopted in various computer-aided diagnosis tasks due to its effectiveness in processing medical image information. ViTs are notably recognized for their complex architecture, which requires high-performance GPUs or CPUs for efficient model training and deployment in real-world medical diagnostic devices. This renders them more intricate than convolutional neural networks (CNNs).

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is responsible for the increased cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes. Few studies have focused on MS in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Aim: To describe the clinical, biochemical and therapeutic characteristics of T1DM patients affected by MS.

Predictors of Drug Retention and Survival Rate of bDMARDs in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Four-Year Real-Life Tunisian Experience.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the efficacy and tolerance of biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARDs) in the current management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by identifying the retention time and survival rate of bDMARDs.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study including Tunisian patients initiating bDMARD treatment between 2016 and 2018 whose data were collected from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF). The NHIF is the national office which organises and centralises patients under bDMARDs from all over the country.

Benefits of self-paced concurrent training on lung function, cardiopulmonary fitness and fatigue perception in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Studying the effects of self-paced concurrent high-intensity interval training and resistance training (HIIT-RT) on respiratory function, cardiopulmonary fitness and fatigue perception in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Twenty-three PwMS were randomized into a 12-week training group (three times per week) (TG, n = 11) or a control group (CG, n = 12). Lung function (spirometry), aerobic capacity (graded cardiopulmonary-exercise-testing) and perceived fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS)) were evaluated pre- and post-intervention.
