The lecture is devoted to the urgent problem that is to increase the quality of cytological diagnosis, by diminishing the subjectivism factor via introduction of up-to-date computer information technologies into a cytologist's practice. Its main lines from the standardization of cytological specimen preparation to the registration of a cytologist's opinion and the assessment of the specialist's work quality at the laboratories that successfully use the capacities of the current information systems are described. Information technology capabilities to improve the interpretation of the cellular composition of cytological specimens are detailed.

Background: As the incidence and prevalence of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) proliferate worldwide, the condition has become the epicenter of a plethora of ECG diagnostic research. In recent diagnostic methodologies, Morse Continuous Wavelet Transform (MsCWT) is a feature extraction technique utilized to draw out distinctive attributes of ECG signals. In our study, we explore the employment of MsCWT in the classification of AF with ECG signals in a continuum.

Advances in sequencing technologies are reshaping clinical diagnostics, prompting the development of new software tools to decipher big data. To this end, we developed functional genomic imaging (FGI), a visualization tool designed to assist clinicians in interpreting RNA-Seq results from patient samples. FGI uses weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), followed by a modified Phenograph clustering algorithm to identify co-expression gene clusters.
