Gallbladder carcinoma in the era of artificial intelligence: Early diagnosis for better treatment

Gallbladder carcinoma(GBC)is the most common malignant tumor of biliary tract,with poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options.Early detection of GBC is a major challenge,with most GBCs being detected accidentally during cholecystectomy procedures for gallbladder stones.This letter comments on the recent article by Deqing et al in the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology,which summarized the various current methods used in early diagnosis of GBC,including endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)examination of the gallbladder for high-risk GBC patients,and the use of EUS-guided elasto-graphy,contrast-enhanced EUS,trans-papillary biopsy,natural orifice translu-minal endoscopic surgery,magnifying endoscopy,choledochoscopy,and confocal laser endomicroscopy when necessary for early diagnosis of GBC.However,there is a need for novel methods for early GBC diagnosis,such as the use of artificial intelligence and non-coding RNA biomarkers for improved screening protocols.Additionally,the use of in vitro and animal models may provide critical insights for advancing early detection and treatment strategies of this aggressive tumor.

Artificial intelligence-driven strategies for managing renal and urinary complications in inflammatory bowel disease

In this editorial,we discuss the article by Singh et al published in World Journal of Nephrology,stating the need for timely adjustments in inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)patients'long-term management plans.IBD is chronic and lifelong,with recurrence and remission cycles,including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.It's exact etiology is unknown but likely multifactorial.Related to gut flora and immune issues.Besides intestinal symptoms,IBD can also affect various extrain-testinal manifestations such as those involving the skin,joints,eyes and urinary system.The anatomical proximity of urinary system waste disposal to that of the alimentary canal makes early detection and the differentiation of such symptoms very difficult.Various studies show that IBD and it's first-line drugs have nephro-toxicity,impacting the patients'life quality.Existing guidelines give very few references for kidney lesion monitoring.Singh et al's plan aims to improve treatment management for IBD patients with glomerular filtration rate decline,specifically those at risk.Most of IBD patients are young and they need lifelong therapy.So early therapy cessation,taking into account drug side effects,can be helpful.Artificial intelligence-driven diagnosis and treatment has a big potential for management improvements in IBD and other chronic diseases.

Conducting predictability studies is essential for tracing the source of forecast errors,which not only leads to the improvement of observation and forecasting systems,but also enhances the understanding of weather and climate phenomena.In the past few decades,dynamical numerical models have been the primary tools for predictability studies,achieving significant progress.Nowadays,with the advances in artificial intelligence(AI)techniques and accumulations of vast meteorological data,modeling weather and climate events using modern data-driven approaches is becoming trendy,where FourCastNet,Pangu-Weather,and GraphCast are successful pioneers.In this perspective article,we suggest AI models should not be limited to forecasting but be expanded to predictability studies,leveraging AI's advantages of high efficiency and self-contained optimization modules.To this end,we first remark that AI models should possess high simulation capability with fine spatiotemporal resolution for two kinds of predictability studies.AI models with high simulation capabilities comparable to numerical models can be considered to provide solutions to partial differential equations in a data-driven way.Then,we highlight several specific predictability issues with well-determined nonlinear optimization formulizations,which can be well-studied using AI models,holding significant scientific value.In addition,we advocate for the incorporation of AI models into the synergistic cycle of the cognition–observation–model paradigm.Comprehensive predictability studies have the potential to transform“big data”to“big and better data”and shift the focus from“AI for forecasts”to“AI for science”,ultimately advancing the development of the atmospheric and oceanic sciences.

Research on simulation of gun muzzle flow field empowered by artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence technology is introduced into the simulation of muzzle flow field to improve its simulation efficiency in this paper.A data-physical fusion driven framework is proposed.First,the known flow field data is used to initialize the model parameters,so that the parameters to be trained are close to the optimal value.Then physical prior knowledge is introduced into the training process so that the prediction results not only meet the known flow field information but also meet the physical conservation laws.Through two examples,it is proved that the model under the fusion driven framework can solve the strongly nonlinear flow field problems,and has stronger generalization and expansion.The proposed model is used to solve a muzzle flow field,and the safety clearance behind the barrel side is divided.It is pointed out that the shape of the safety clearance under different launch speeds is roughly the same,and the pressure disturbance in the area within 9.2 m behind the muzzle section exceeds the safety threshold,which is a dangerous area.Comparison with the CFD results shows that the calculation efficiency of the proposed model is greatly improved under the condition of the same calculation accuracy.The proposed model can quickly and accurately simulate the muzzle flow field under various launch conditions.
