Abstract A 14-year-old presented with an asymptomatic left testicular mass after a brief episode of pain. Examination showed a non-tender left testis that was significantly larger than the right. Ultrasound revealed a 4.5-cm avascular mass and an absence of normal testicular parenchyma. Tumor markers were unremarkable. A CT scan demonstrated no lymphadenopathy but identified a prominent left spermatic cord. Due to a suspicion of chronic torsion vs. malignancy, a left radical orchiectomy was performed. Pathology identified a hemorrhagic paratesticular venous malformation without signs of germ cell neoplasia, a rare entity. More >

Abstract This paper proposes a knowledge-enhanced disease diagnosis method based on a prompt learning framework. Addressing challenges such as the complexity of medical terminology, the difficulty of constructing medical knowledge graphs, and the scarcity of medical data, the method retrieves structured knowledge from clinical cases via external knowledge graphs. The method retrieves structured knowledge from external knowledge graphs related to clinical cases, encodes it, and injects it into the prompt templates to enhance the language model’s understanding and reasoning capabilities for the task. We conducted experiments on three public datasets: CHIP-CTC, IMCS-V2-NER, and KUAKE-QTR. The results More >

Abstract Heart disease includes a multiplicity of medical conditions that affect the structure, blood vessels, and general operation of the heart. Numerous researchers have made progress in correcting and predicting early heart disease, but more remains to be accomplished. The diagnostic accuracy of many current studies is inadequate due to the attempt to predict patients with heart disease using traditional approaches. By using data fusion from several regions of the country, we intend to increase the accuracy of heart disease prediction. A statistical approach that promotes insights triggered by feature interactions to reveal the intricate pattern… More >

Abstract A healthy brain is vital to every person since the brain controls every movement and emotion. Sometimes, some brain cells grow unexpectedly to be uncontrollable and cancerous. These cancerous cells are called brain tumors. For diagnosed patients, their lives depend mainly on the early diagnosis of these tumors to provide suitable treatment plans. Nowadays, Physicians and radiologists rely on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) pictures for their clinical evaluations of brain tumors. These evaluations are time-consuming, expensive, and require expertise with high skills to provide an accurate diagnosis. Scholars and industrials have recently partnered to implement… More >

Abstract To address the issues of slow diagnostic speed, low accuracy, and poor generalization performance in traditional rolling bearing fault diagnosis methods, we propose a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on Markov Transition Field (MTF) image encoding combined with a lightweight convolutional neural network that integrates a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM-LCNN). Specifically, we first use the Markov Transition Field to convert the original one-dimensional vibration signals of rolling bearings into two-dimensional images. Then, we construct a lightweight convolutional neural network incorporating the convolutional attention module (CBAM-LCNN). Finally, the two-dimensional images obtained from MTF mapping… More >

Abstract A precise diagnosis of the complex post-fracturing characteristics and parameter variations in tight gas reservoirs is essential for optimizing fracturing technology, enhancing treatment effectiveness, and assessing post-fracturing production capacity. Tight gas reservoirs face challenges due to the interaction between natural fractures and induced fractures. To address these issues, a theoretical model for diagnosing fractures under varying leak-off mechanisms has been developed, incorporating the closure behavior of natural fractures. This model, grounded in material balance theory, also accounts for shut-in pressure. The study derived and plotted typical G-function charts, which capture fracture behavior during closure.

Abstract Hepatitis is an infection that affects the liver through contaminated foods or blood transfusions, and it has many types, from normal to serious. Hepatitis is diagnosed through many blood tests and factors; Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have played an important role in early diagnosis and help physicians make decisions. This study evaluated the performance of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms on the hepatitis data set. The dataset contains missing values that have been processed and outliers removed. The dataset was counterbalanced by the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE). The features of the data set were processed… More >

Abstract The growing spectrum of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) applications in medical imaging, cyber security, data augmentation, and the field of remote sensing tasks necessitate a sharp spike in the criticality of review of Generative Adversarial Networks. Earlier reviews that targeted reviewing certain architecture of the GAN or emphasizing a specific application-oriented area have done so in a narrow spirit and lacked the systematic comparative analysis of the models’ performance metrics. Numerous reviews do not apply standardized frameworks, showing gaps in the efficiency evaluation of GANs, training stability, and suitability for specific tasks. In this work,… More >

Abstract Quantum circuit fidelity is a crucial metric for assessing the accuracy of quantum computation results and indicating the precision of quantum algorithm execution. The primary methods for assessing quantum circuit fidelity include direct fidelity estimation and mirror circuit fidelity estimation. The former is challenging to implement in practice, while the latter requires substantial classical computational resources and numerous experimental runs. In this paper, we propose a fidelity estimation method based on Layer Interleaved Randomized Benchmarking, which decomposes a complex quantum circuit into multiple sublayers. By independently evaluating the fidelity of each layer, one can comprehensively… More >
