We outline the features of the R package SparseSignatures and its application to determine the signatures contributing to mutation profiles of tumor samples. We describe installation details and illustrate a step-by-step approach to (1) prepare the data for signature analysis, (2) determine the optimal parameters, and (3) employ them to determine the signatures and related exposure levels in the point mutation dataset. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lal et al. (2021).

USDA-ARS North Central Agricultural Research Laboratory, Brookings, South Dakota, United States;

Soilborne diseases are persistent problems in soybean production. Long-term crop rotation can contribute to soilborne disease management. However, the response of soilborne pathogens to crop rotation is inconsistent, and rotation efficacy is highly variable.

Optimizing Transformer-Based Network via Advanced Decoder Design for Medical Image Segmentation.

Biomed Phys Eng Express

January 2025

Shandong University, No. 72, Binhai Road, Jimo, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, Qingdao, 266200, CHINA.

U-Net is widely used in medical image segmentation due to its simple and flexible architecture design. To address the challenges of scale and complexity in medical tasks, several variants of U-Net have been proposed. In particular, methods based on Vision Transformer (ViT), represented by Swin UNETR, have gained widespread attention in recent years.

Background: Patients with severe mental illness experience serious inequity when facing cancer treatment. They are less likely to be referred for cancer treatment following recommended guidelines and have poorer cancer survival than patients without mental illness. Relevant specialties such as psychiatry and general practice are rarely involved, and the patient perspective is rarely represented in research in the field.

The cysteine-rich epidermal growth factor ligand domain 2 protein (CRELD2) is associated with pathways that regulate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, a critical process driving cancer metastasis. This study aimed to determine the prognostic value of CRELD2 status on survival outcomes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Seventy patients were included in the study.
