Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, specialized immune cells, are considered an important biomarker in cancer analysis. Automated lymphocyte detection is challenging due to its heterogeneous morphology, variable distribution, and presence of artifacts. In this work, we propose a novel Boosted Channels Fusion-based CNN "BCF-Lym-Detector" for lymphocyte detection in multiple cancer histology images.

Article Synopsis
  • Peony seed meal has great potential as a feed protein, but anti-nutritional factors like saponins limit its usability.
  • The study focused on finding the best microbial fermentation conditions to break down saponins for poultry feed.
  • Solid-state fermentation proved to be the most effective, achieving a 69.31% degradation rate and increasing the soluble protein content by 14% compared to unfermented seed meal.

The leading causes of hepatitis are viral infections, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Millions of people have been infected with these deadly viral infections worldwide, and in Pakistan, every tenth person is infected with these viruses. Different populations respond with different rates to infectious diseases due to host genomic differences.
