DOSE OUTSIDE OF THE PROSTATE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR HIGH-RISK PROSTATE CANCER PATIENTS TREATED WITH BRACHYTHERAPY BOOST

Dose outside of the prostate is associated with improved outcomes for high-risk prostate cancer patients treated with brachytherapy boost

BackgroundOne in three high-risk prostate cancer patients treated with radiotherapy recur.Detection of lymph node metastasis and microscopic disease spread using conventional imaging is poor, and many patients are under-treated due to suboptimal seminal vesicle click here or lymph node irradiation.We use Image Based Data Mining (IBDM) to investigat

Population adaptation in efficient balanced networks

Adaptation is a key component of efficient coding in sensory neurons.However, it remains unclear how neurons can provide a stable representation of external stimuli given their history-dependent responses.Here we show that a stable representation is maintained if efficiency is optimized by a population of neurons rather than by neurons individually

Enhancing Medical Image Classification Through PSO-Optimized Dual Deterministic Approach and Robust Transfer Learning

Effective transfer learning, within medical image classification, is probably one of the most critical areas of research due to the associated complexities with the nature of medical images.These involve variations in the acquisition techniques of images, resolutions, modalities, and patient demographics.This study aims to develop a robust transfer
