AppendiGrade: An XAI-Enhanced Deep Learning Framework for Grading Appendicitis in Ultrasound with Gaussian Blur and Grad-CAM

Appendicitis is one of the most common abdominal emergencies worldwide and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent life-threatening conditions. However, accurately differentiating complicated cases, such as perforation or abscess formation, from uncomplicated appendicitis remains a significant clinical challenge. Among other methods, ultrasound is a safer and more cost-efficient diagnos...

Assessing the Reliability of LLM-Generated Phenotype-Genotype Associations Through External Validation

Background: Phenotype-genotype associations underpin precision medicine by enabling disease prevention, early diagnosis, risk stratification, therapeutic target discovery, and personalized treatment. However, the rapid growth of scientific evidence has made manual curation of these associations increasingly labor-intensive, time-consuming, and incomplete. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a poten...
