Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection results in the development of a highly contagious respiratory ailment known as new coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Despite the fact that the prevalence of COVID-19 continues to rise, it is still unclear how people become infected with SARS-CoV-2 and how patients with COVID-19 become so unwell. Detecting biomarkers for COVID-19 using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) may aid in drug development and treatment. This research aimed to find blood cell transcripts that represent levels of gene expression associated with COVID-19 progression. Through the development of a bioinformatics pipeline, two RNA-Seq transcriptomic datasets and one microarray dataset were studied and discovered 102 significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were shared by three datasets derived from PBMCs. To identify the roles of these DEGs, we discovered disease-gene association networks and signaling pathways, as well as we performed gene ontology (GO) studies and identified hub protein. Identified significant gene ontology and molecular pathways improved our understanding of the pathophysiology of COVID-19, and our identified blood-based hub proteins TPX2, DLGAP5, NCAPG, CCNB1, KIF11, HJURP, AURKB, BUB1B, TTK, and TOP2A could be used for the development of therapeutic intervention. In COVID-19 subjects, we discovered effective putative connections between pathological processes in the transcripts blood cells, suggesting that blood cells could be used to diagnose and monitor the disease’s initiation and progression as well as developing drug therapeutics.
Colon cancer is a momentous reason for illness and death in people. The conclusive diagnosis of colon cancer is made through histological examination. Convolutional neural networks are being used to analyze colon cancer via digital image processing with the introduction of whole-slide imaging. Accurate categorization of colon cancers is necessary for capable analysis. Our objective is to promote a system for detecting and classifying colon adenocarcinomas by applying a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model with some preprocessing techniques on digital histopathology images. It is a leading cause of cancer-related death, despite the fact that both traditional and modern methods are capable of comparing images that may encompass cancer regions of various sorts after looking at a significant number of colon cancer images. The fundamental problem for colon histopathologists is differentiating benign from malignant illnesses to having some complicated factors. A cancer diagnosis can be automated through artificial intelligence (AI), enabling us to appraise more patients in less time and at a decreased cost. Modern deep learning (MDL) and digital image processing (DIP) approaches are used to accomplish this. The results indicate that the proposed structure can accurately analyze cancer tissues to a maximum of 99.80%. By implementing this approach, medical practitioners will establish an automated and reliable system for detecting various forms of colon cancer. Moreover, CAD systems will be built in the near future to extract numerous aspects from colonoscopic images for use as a preprocessing module for colon cancer diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
