Radiomics extracts a large number of features from medical images to perform a quantitative characterization. Aim of this study was to assess radiomic features stability and relevance. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps were computed from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images (DW-MRI) of 18 patients diagnosed with soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs). Thirty-seven intensity-based features were computed on the regions of interest (ROIs). First, ROIs of the images were subjected to translations and rotations in specific ranges. The 37 features computed on the original and transformed ROIs were compared in terms of percentage of variations. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was computed. To be accepted, a feature should satisfy the following conditions: the ICC after a minimum entity transformation is > 0.6 and the ICC after a maximum entity translation is <; 0.4. In total, 31 features out of 37 were accepted by the algorithm. This stability analysis can be used as a first step in the features selection process.

Background: Understanding the molecular properties of chemical compounds is essential for identifying potential candidates or ensuring safety in drug discovery. However, exploring the vast chemical space is time-consuming and costly, necessitating the development of time-efficient and cost-effective computational methods. Recent advances in deep learning approaches have offered deeper insights into molecular structures.

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide a rich source of observational patient data that can be explored to infer underlying causal relationships. These causal relationships can be applied to augment medical decision-making or suggest hypotheses for healthcare research. In this study, we explored a large-scale EHR dataset on patients with asthma or related conditions (N = 14,937).

Objective: This study aims to determine the anatomical relationship between the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus during preoperative radiological evaluations in the posterior maxillary dental region, as well as to evaluate the prevalence of PSAA and its potential associations with sinus pathologies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study is based on the analysis of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data from 510 sinuses of 255 patients. The visibility of the PSAA vascular canal, artery diameters, vertical distance between the alveolar crest and the artery, and the distance to the sinus floor were measured in coronal sections.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatment, often preceded by mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Multimodal imaging genetics integrates imaging and genetic data to gain a deeper understanding of disease progression and individual variations. This study focuses on exploring the mechanisms that drive the transition from normal cognition to MCI and ultimately to AD.

Spatial molecular profiling has provided biomedical researchers valuable opportunities to better understand the relationship between cellular localization and tissue function. Effectively modeling multimodal spatial omics data is crucial for understanding tissue complexity and underlying biology. Furthermore, improvements in spatial resolution have led to the advent of technologies that can generate spatial molecular data with subcellular resolution, requiring the development of computationally efficient methods that can handle the resulting large-scale datasets.
