    Reverse Potts Shunt in Children with Suprasystemic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

    Yong An1,2, Gang Wang1,2, Jiangtao Dai1,2, Zhengxia Pan1,2, Yuhao Wu1,2,*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 1-12, 2025, DOI:10.32604/chd.2025.063152 - 18 March 2025

    Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition with a poor prognosis in children. Lung transplantation (Ltx) remains the ultimate option when patients are refractory to PAH-specific therapy. Reverse Potts shunt (RPS) has been introduced to treat suprasystemic PAH. This study aims to investigate the clinical outcomes of suprasystemic PAH in children. Methods Embase, Pubmed, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for related studies that reported the clinical outcomes of suprasystemic PAH following RPS in children. To investigate the clinical outcomes of RPS, meta-analyses of the early and overall mortalities were performed. Results Nine studies… More >

    Moein Tosan1, Mohammad Reza Gharib2,*, Nasrin Fathollahzadeh Attar3, Ali Maroosi4

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.142, No.2, pp. 1109-1154, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.058595 - 27 January 2025

    Abstract Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) is crucial for efficient water resource management, particularly in the face of climate change and increasing water scarcity. This study performs a bibliometric analysis of 352 articles and a systematic review of 35 peer-reviewed papers, selected according to PRISMA guidelines, to evaluate the performance of Hybrid Artificial Neural Networks (HANNs) in ET estimation. The findings demonstrate that HANNs, particularly those combining Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), are highly effective in capturing the complex nonlinear relationships and temporal dependencies characteristic of hydrological processes.

    Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence-Driven Advanced Methods for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Identification and Classification: A Systematic Review

    Syed Ijaz Ur Rahman1, Naveed Abbas1, Sikandar Ali2, Muhammad Salman1, Ahmed Alkhayat3, Jawad Khan4,*, Dildar Hussain5, Yeong Hyeon Gu5,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.142, No.2, pp. 1199-1231, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2025.057462 - 27 January 2025

    Abstract Automatic detection of Leukemia or blood cancer is one of the most challenging tasks that need to be addressed in the healthcare system. Analysis of white blood cells (WBCs) in the blood or bone marrow microscopic slide images play a crucial part in early identification to facilitate medical experts. For Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL), the most preferred part of the blood or marrow is to be analyzed by the experts before it spreads in the whole body and the condition becomes worse. The researchers have done a lot of work in this field, to demonstrate… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.48, No.6, pp. 1405-1435, 2024, DOI:10.32604/csse.2024.051851 - 22 November 2024

    Abstract A data lake (DL), abbreviated as DL, denotes a vast reservoir or repository of data. It accumulates substantial volumes of data and employs advanced analytics to correlate data from diverse origins containing various forms of semi-structured, structured, and unstructured information. These systems use a flat architecture and run different types of data analytics. NoSQL databases are nontabular and store data in a different manner than the relational table. NoSQL databases come in various forms, including key-value pairs, documents, wide columns, and graphs, each based on its data model. They offer simpler scalability and generally outperform… More >

    Discrete Choice Models and Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Predicting the Determinants of Transport Mode Choice—A Systematic Review

    Mujahid Ali*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.81, No.2, pp. 2161-2194, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.058888 - 18 November 2024

    Abstract Forecasting travel demand requires a grasp of individual decision-making behavior. However, transport mode choice (TMC) is determined by personal and contextual factors that vary from person to person. Numerous characteristics have a substantial impact on travel behavior (TB), which makes it important to take into account while studying transport options. Traditional statistical techniques frequently presume linear correlations, but real-world data rarely follows these presumptions, which may make it harder to grasp the complex interactions. Thorough systematic review was conducted to examine how machine learning (ML) approaches might successfully capture nonlinear correlations that conventional methods may… More >
