Background: Sentinel lymph node metastasis (SLNM) is a critical factor in the prognosis and treatment planning for breast cancer (BC), as it indicates the potential spread of cancer to other parts of the body. The accurate prediction and diagnosis of SLNM are essential for improving clinical outcomes and guiding treatment decisions.
Objective: This study aimed to construct a Lasso regression model by integrating multimodal ultrasound (US) techniques, including US, shear wave elastography (SWE), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), to improve the predictive accuracy of sentinel lymph node metastasis in breast cancer and provide more precise guidance for clinical treatment.
Results: A total of 253 eligible samples were screened, of which 148 were group benign and 105 were group malignant. There were statistically significant differences ( < 0.05) between group malignant patients in terms of age, palpable mass, body mass index, distance to nipple, maximum diameter, blood flow, microcalcification, 2D border, 2D morphology, and 2D uniformity and group benign. The Lasso regression model was useful in the diagnosis of benign and malignant nodules with an AUC of 0.966 and in diagnosing SLNM with an AUC of 0.832.
Conclusion: In this study, we successfully constructed and validated a Lasso regression model based on the multimodal ultrasound technique for predicting whether SLNM occurs in BCs, showing high diagnostic accuracy.

MIC: Breast Cancer Multi-label Diagnostic Framework Based on Multi-modal Fusion Interaction.

The automated diagnosis of low-resolution and difficult-to-recognize breast ultrasound images through multi-modal fusion holds significant clinical value. However, prevailing fusion methods predominantly rely on image modalities, neglecting the textual pathology information, and only benign and malignant diagnosis of breast tumors is not satisfying for clinical applications. Consequently, this paper proposes a novel multi-modal fusion interactive diagnostic framework, termed the MIC framework, to achieve the multi-label classification of breast cancer, namely benign-malignant classification and breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) 3, 4a, 4b, 4c, and 5 gradings.

This study utilizes the Breast Ultrasound Image (BUSI) dataset to present a deep learning technique for breast tumor segmentation based on a modified UNet architecture. To improve segmentation accuracy, the model integrates attention mechanisms, such as the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) and Non-Local Attention, with advanced encoder architectures, including ResNet, DenseNet, and EfficientNet. These attention mechanisms enable the model to focus more effectively on relevant tumor areas, resulting in significant performance improvements.

About 50% of all cancers carry a mutation in p53 that impairs its tumor suppressor function. The p53 missense mutation p53 (p53 in mice) is a hotspot mutation in various cancer types. Therefore, monoclonal antibodies selectively targeting clinically relevant mutations like p53 could prove immensely value.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative condition, notably impacts cognitive functions and daily activity. One method of detecting dementia involves a task where participants describe a given picture, and extensive research has been conducted using the participants' speech and transcribed text. However, very few studies have explored the modality of the image itself.

This paper introduces the "NEBULA101 - Neuro-behavioural Understanding of Language Aptitude" dataset, which comprises behavioural and brain imaging data from 101 healthy adults to examine individual differences in language and cognition. Human language, a multifaceted behaviour, varies significantly among individuals, at different processing levels. Recent advances in cognitive science have embraced an integrated approach, combining behavioural and brain studies to explore these differences comprehensively.
