Explainable AI for chest radiographs: sex-stratified fairness auditing in CNN-based pneumonia detection
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) systems for chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation can achieve high standalone diagnostic accuracy, yet limited transparency raises concerns about sub...
Post-exposure booster vaccination recalls vaccine-induced memory and accelerates Bordetella pertussis clearance in murine lungs and trachea
Abstract Despite high vaccination coverage, pertussis continues to cause substantial morbidity in infants, largely because acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines do n...
Synthesis, spectral, nonlinear optical properties, molecular docking and cytotoxicity studies on some metal complexes derived from 2-Cyano-N’-(2-Hydroxybenzylidene)-3-Phenylacrylohydrazide
Abstract The synthesis and investigation of 2-cyano-N’-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-3-phenylacrylohydrazide (H 2 L) and its Ni...
Research on tissue injury of low-temperature plasma ablation with different saline temperatures
Green synthesis and application of ZnO nanoparticles for removing malathion and pyrene from aqueous solutions
