We present a modal method for the fast analysis of 2D-layered gratings. It combines exact discrete formulations of Maxwell equations in 2D space with polynomial approximations of the constitutive equations, and provides a sparse formulation of the eigenvalue equations. In specific cases, the use of sparse matrices allows us to calculate the electromagnetic response while solving only a small fraction of the eigenmodes. This significantly increases computational speed up to 100×, as shown on numerical examples of both dielectric and metallic subwavelength gratings.

Background: Microcardia and cardiomegaly are good diagnostic and prognostic tools for several diseases. This study investigated the distribution of microcardia and cardiomegaly among students of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in Ghana to determine the prevalence of microcardia and cardiomegaly across gender, and to evaluate the correlation between the presence of these heart conditions and age.

Methods: This retrospective study involved a review of 4519 postero-anterior (PA) chest X-rays (CXRs) between 2020 and 2023.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder. It causes progressive degeneration of the nervous system, affecting the cognitive ability of the human brain. Over the past two decades, neuroimaging data from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans has been increasingly used in the study of brain pathology related to the birth and growth of AD.

Multi-modal medical images are important in tumor lesion detection. However, the existing detection models only use single-modal to detect lesions, a multi-modal semantic correlation is not enough to consider and lacks ability to express the shape, size, and contrast degree features of lesions. A Cross Modal YOLOv5 model (CMYOLOv5) is proposed.

Health event prediction is empowered by the rapid and wide application of electronic health records (EHR). In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), precisely predicting the health related events in advance is essential for providing treatment and intervention to improve the patients outcomes. EHR is a kind of multi-modal data containing clinical text, time series, structured data, etc.

Background And Objective: Cerebral aneurysms occur as balloon-like outpouchings in an artery, which commonly develop at the weak curved regions and bifurcations. When aneurysms are detected, understanding the risk of rupture is of immense clinical value for better patient management. Towards this, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) studies can improve our understanding of the mechanics behind aneurysm initiation, progression, and rupture.
