ProCUSNet: Prostate Cancer Detection on B-mode Transrectal Ultrasound Using Artificial Intelligence for Targeting During Prostate Biopsies.

Background And Objective: To assess whether conventional brightness-mode (B-mode) transrectal ultrasound images of the prostate reveal clinically significant cancers with the help of artificial intelligence methods.

Methods: This study included 2986 men who underwent biopsies at two institutions. We trained the PROstate Cancer detection on B-mode transrectal UltraSound images NETwork (ProCUSNet) to determine whether ultrasound can reliably detect cancer.

Construction and validation of a nomogram prediction model for the occurrence of complications in patients following robotic radical surgery for gastric cancer.

Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.

What Is Added By This Report?: A comprehensive surveillance study revealed enterococci in 14.

Green process for xylo-oligosaccharide production from acetic acid hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse by an integrated membrane technology and activated carbon adsorption.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS), consisting 2-6 xylose residues, are a new type of prebiotic and functional oligosaccharides, and can usually be produced from the xylan-riched lignocellulosic biomass by acetic acid (HAc) hydrolysis, while the waste HAc was a problem to the environment. In this study, the main aim was to recover and reuse the waste HAc in XOS production. First, it was found that a temperature of 190 °C and a hydrolysis time of 60 min were favorable for XOS production by HAc hydrolysis, and the by-products xylose and furfural were the main inhibitors, hindering the reuse of the waste HAc.

Isoferulic Acid Inhibits Proliferation and Migration of Pancreatic Cancer Cells, and Promotes the Apoptosis of Pancreatic Cancer Cells in a Mitochondria-Dependent Manner Through Inhibiting NF-κB Signalling Pathway.

Isoferulic acid (IA), a derivative of cinnamic acid, is derived from Danshen and exhibits anticancer properties by disrupting cancer cell activities. However, its role in pancreatic cancer, the "king of cancer", was unknown. In this study, pancreatic cancer cells were subjected to treatment with IA (6.
