Evaluation of imaging techniques for early detection of intrathoracic cancers in symptomatic patients in primary care: a systematic review by Fiona M Walter, Jaime L Peters, Richard Neal, Natalia Calanzani, Bogdan Grigore, Wasim Hamad, Lauren Asare

“…One study investigating an artificial intelligence tool to detect lung cancer found poor detection performance in a real-world patient cohort.Conclusions We found a limited number of studies reporting on the diagnostic performance of usual imaging techniques when used in unselected primary care settings for the diagnosis of intrathoracic cancer in symptomatic patients. There is a need for more studies evaluating such techniques in the general population presenting in primary care, where the prevalence is relatively low. …”

Research on optimization technology of new pipeline design for regional natural gas pipeline network by Jingyi CUI, Kunfeng ZHU, Cuixian GAO, Li GU, Jing REN, Yuxing LI, Wuchang WANG

“…ResultsIn comparison to the design that considered only the single condition of maximizing total transmission capacity, the design scheme for new pipelines derived from calculations based on various potential conditions for future pipeline networks proved to be more rational. The total cost of the optimal design scheme calculated using this optimization approach was 25.41％ lower than that of the traditional design scheme. …”
