Objective: The ExPRO (External factors influencing patient reported outcomes of patients with malignant diseases) study explored associations between QoL data and environmental factors on the day of questionnaire completion: mean temperature, sunshine hours, season, and lunar phase.

Methods: We undertook a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data in the prospective cohort study at two cancer centers in eastern Germany. From December 2020 to December 2021, cancer patients completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire upon admission.

In today's industrial landscape, optimizing energy consumption, reducing production times, and maintaining quality standards are critical challenges, particularly in energy-intensive processes like resistance spot welding (RSW). This study introduces an intelligent decision support system designed to optimize the RSW process for steel reinforcement bars. By creating robust machine learning models trained on limited datasets, the system generates interactive heat maps that provide real-time guidance to production engineers or intelligent systems, enabling dynamic adaptation to changing conditions and external factors such as fluctuating energy costs.

Glioblastoma: Clinical Presentation, Multidisciplinary Management, and Long-Term Outcomes.

Cancers (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Medical Imaging, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Pécs, 7621 Pécs, Hungary.

Glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, presents a formidable challenge due to its rapid progression, treatment resistance, and poor survival outcomes. Standard care typically involves maximal safe surgical resection, followed by fractionated external beam radiation therapy and concurrent temozolomide chemotherapy. Despite these interventions, median survival remains approximately 12-15 months, with a five-year survival rate below 10%.

Computer-aided diagnostic systems have achieved remarkable success in the medical field, particularly in diagnosing malignant tumors, and have done so at a rapid pace. However, the generalizability of the results remains a challenge for researchers and decreases the credibility of these models, which represents a point of criticism by physicians and specialists, especially given the sensitivity of the field. This study proposes a novel model based on deep learning to enhance lung cancer diagnosis quality, understandability, and generalizability.

has been extensively utilized in traditional medicine systems worldwide. The essential oil (EO) content and composition are influenced by various external and internal factors, such as climate and harvest season, making it vital to determine the optimal harvest period for high-quality EO production. This study is the first to evaluate the chemical profiles, as well as the antioxidant and antibacterial activities, of leaf oil across the four seasons.
