Predictive risk-scoring model for lateral lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma by Yehao Guo, Yunye Liu, Weidong Teng, Yan Pan, Lizhuo Zhang, Dongdong Feng, Jiajun Wu, Wenli Ma, Jiafeng Wang, Jiajie Xu, Chuanming Zheng, Xuhang Zhu, Zhuo Tan, Liehao Jiang

“…Based on the risk scoring model, additional investigations and comprehensive considerations are recommended for patients with a total score greater than 5, and prophylactic cervical lymph node dissection is performed if necessary. Additionally, more aggressive treatment and more frequent follow-ups should be considered for patients with tumor size > 1.0 cm, lobe dissemination (+), multifocality, CLNM, and LLNM.…”

A Multi-Attribute Decision-Making Approach for Critical Node Identification in Complex Networks by Xinyun Zhao, Yongheng Zhang, Qingying Zhai, Jinrui Zhang, Lanlan Qi

“…In this paper, we propose the multi-attribute CRITIC-TOPSIS network decision indicator, or MCTNDI, which integrates closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, H-index, and network constraint coefficients to identify critical nodes in a network. This indicator combines information from multiple perspectives, including local neighborhood importance, network topological location, path centrality, and node mutual information, thereby solving the issue of the one-sided perspective of single indicators and providing a more comprehensive measure of node importance. …”
