Predicting the efficacy of microwave ablation of benign thyroid nodules from ultrasound images using deep convolutional neural networks by Enock Adjei Agyekum, Yu-guo Wang, Eliasu Issaka, Yong-zhen Ren, Gongxun Tan, Xiangjun Shen, Xiao-qin Qian

“…Because the degree and rate of lesion absorption vary greatly between individuals, there is no reliable model for predicting the therapeutic efficacy of thermal ablation. Methods Five convolutional neural network models including VGG19, Resnet 50, EfficientNetB1, EfficientNetB0, and InceptionV3, pre-trained with ImageNet, were compared for predicting the efficacy of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) for benign thyroid nodules using ultrasound data. …”

MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF RAT SARCOMA M-1 AFTER PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY WITH THE BACTERIOCHLOROPHYLL A DERIVATIVE by V. V. Yuzhakov, N. V. Burmistrova, N. K. Fomina, L. N. Bandurko, L. E. Sevanjkaeva, A. V. Starovoytova, N. D. Yakovleva, M. G. Tsyganova, I. E. Ingelj, P. V. Ostroverkhov, M. A. Kaplan, M. A. Grin, A. G. Mazhuga, A. F. Mironov, V. N. Galkin, Yu. S. Romanko

“…It is reasonable to suppose that in the early stages after photodynamic therapy destruction of the microvasculature and photocytostatic shock of tumor cells with subsequent development of necrosis are caused by direct influence of the light flux on sensitized cellular elements in parenchyma and stroma of tumors. The efficiency of photodynamic therapy with the novel photosensitizer is determined by the sequence of destructive and inflammatory changes in tumor parenchyma and surrounding tissues, as well as repopulation potential of tumor cells survived after treatment.…”
