Endometrial cancеr is the fourth fastеst-growing cancеr among women worldwide, affecting the uterus's lining. This research proposes a novel approach called ECgMLP for the automated diagnosis of endometrial cancer by analyzing histopathological images. Several preprocessing techniques are employed to increase the quality of the images, including normalization, Non-Local Means denoising, and alpha-beta enhancement. Effective segmentation is achieved through a combination of Otsu thresholding, morphological operations, distance transformations, and the watershed approach to identify major regions of interest. Through a sequence of blocks, the ECgMLP architecture processes input images to remove unimportant patterns. Model hyperparameters are improved via ablation research. The evaluations show a maximum accuracy of 99.26 % for identifying multi-class histopathological categories of endometrial tissue, which is higher than the previous best technique. The proposed model offers an automated, correct diagnosis, enhancing clinical processes. This proposition could be added to the current tools for finding endometrial cancer early, leading to better patient outcomes.

Rabies continues to pose a severe public health threat, particularly in regions with high interactions between humans and infected dog populations. This study develops a fractional-order mathematical model using the Caputo derivative to capture the memory and hereditary effects in rabies transmission dynamics. The model incorporates key intervention strategies, including public health education, treatment, and culling of stray and infected dogs, to evaluate their effectiveness in controlling rabies outbreaks. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is utilized for parameter estimation, enhancing model precision and predictive accuracy. Stability analysis demonstrates that the disease-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when effective reproduction number . Numerical simulations reveal that fractional-order model provides a more flexible and realistic representation of rabies spread compared to classical integer-order model. The results highlight the significant impact of public health education, treatment and targeted culling in reducing infection rates. The findings offer crucial insights for policymakers and public health officials in designing optimal intervention strategies to achieve sustainable rabies control.

This study contributes to the integration of smart product service systems (smart PSSs) for remote patient monitoring (RPM). Integrating smart PSSs into RPM improves service delivery by enabling personalized care plans and shaping a patient-centered workflow for intelligent RPM. However, a gap exists in identifying intelligent RPM attributes and understanding their interrelationships. In addition, prior studies of RPM have yielded mixed results, with some studies demonstrating positive impacts and others showing no effect or even negative consequences on patient health. This inconsistency highlights the need for further investigation into how RPM systems are designed and utilized.
Objectives
First, the proposed intelligent RPM development criteria are validated through a qualitative assessment. Second, the interrelationships among intelligent RPM attributes are analyzed. Finally, the driving factors of intelligent RPM development are identified.
Methods
A hybrid methodology that combines the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), the fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FDEMATEL), and an analytical network process (ANP) is introduced to establish a hierarchical model of intelligent RPM attributes. Thirty healthcare industry experts specializing in chronic disease management participated in the study. Linguistic variables were utilized to manage the uncertainty inherent in expert opinions.
Results
The cause group encompassed operational efficiency, enhanced analytics, and sustainable service management, whereas the effect group comprised patient satisfaction and platform technology. The driving criteria included personalized treatment plans, real-time monitoring, mobile app development, and accessibility.
Conclusion
This study advances the understanding of how smart PSSs can be integrated into healthcare delivery. The developed hierarchical framework provides a roadmap for healthcare providers to implement and optimize intelligent RPM systems.
