Non-invasive Physiotherapeutic Approaches in Biliary Dyskinesia by Elena Costescu, Gabriela Calin, Vlad Țîrlea, Mihaiela Camelia Țabrean

“…Biliary dyskinesia seems to be an enigmatic, idiopathic but important pathology in terms of recurrent abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant, under the right costal border, in patients who feel the symptoms despite the non-detection of gallstones or tumors. The pathology can be the result of an improper response to hormonal stimulation, hypoactivity of the nerves that innervate the gallbladder or ineffective contraction of the sphincter of Oddi. …”

AI-Based Screening Method for Early Identification of Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in Breast Cancer by Dominik Jánošík, Sila Yavuz

“…Next, by leveraging deep neural networks, we extracted effective features, and through a majority vote method, we performed data classification to establish a screening structure for the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma of breast tumors. Our proposed system demonstrated superior performance by achieving 92.8% and 94.4% accuracy, 96% and 93% sensitivity, 91.5% and 92.0% precision, and 98.7% and 96.7% Area Under the Curve (AUC) in two distinct datasets, with minimal errors and high detection speed. …”
