Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

16.3K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Neural Regulation

43.5K
Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Multiple Regression

4.0K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Pathology
  • Dermatopathology

Background:

  • Assessing malignancy in excised tissue is challenging in histopathology.
  • Current methods often require specialized expertise and can be time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a portable device for accurate neural network classification of malignant and benign tissue.
  • To develop a novel approach augmenting current medical practice for tissue assessment.

Main Methods:

  • A handheld device collecting 47 impedance data samples (1 Hz to 32 MHz) using tetrapolar electrodes.
  • Data analyzed using six backpropagation neural networks (BNN) in a multi-tiered consensus approach.
  • Utilized a dataset of 180 malignant and 180 benign breast tissue samples from an IRB-approved study.

Main Results:

  • Achieved 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity in classifying tissue as malignant or benign.
  • Demonstrated successful reliance on statistical impedance variations and neural network configuration.
  • The BNN autonomously selected four out of six networks for classification.

Conclusions:

  • The developed device and BNN implementation offer a novel, fast, and non-invasive method for tissue assessment.
  • This tool can augment the evaluation of breast, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and other excised tissues.
  • Potential to provide rapid, accurate assessments in various clinical settings without requiring extensive specimen expertise.
