Abstract Objective To conduct a systematic review of external validation studies on the use of different Artificial Intelligence algorithms in breast cancer screening with mammography. Data source Our systematic review was conducted and reported following the PRISMA statement, using the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases with the search terms “Artificial Intelligence,” “Mammography,” and their respective MeSH terms. We filtered publications from the past ten years (2014 – 2024) and in English. Study selection A total of 1,878 articles were found in the databases used in the research. After removing duplicates (373) and excluding those that did not address our PICO question (1,475), 30 studies were included in this work. Data collection The data from the studies were collected independently by five authors, and it was subsequently synthesized based on sample data, location, year, and their main results in terms of AUC, sensitivity, and specificity. Data synthesis It was demonstrated that the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) and sensitivity were similar to those of radiologists when using independent Artificial Intelligence. When used in conjunction with radiologists, statistically higher accuracy in mammogram evaluation was reported compared to the assessment by radiologists alone. Conclusion AI algorithms have emerged as a means to complement and enhance the performance and accuracy of radiologists. They also assist less experienced professionals in detecting possible lesions. Furthermore, this tool can be used to complement and improve the analyses conducted by medical professionals. mammography statement PubMed EMBASE Intelligence, Mammography, Mammography “Mammography, 2014 (201 2024 English 1878 1 878 1,87 research 373 (373 1,475, 1475 1,475 , 475 (1,475) 3 work authors location year AUC specificity (AUC alone lesions Furthermore “Mammography 201 (20 202 187 87 1,8 37 (37 147 1,47 47 (1,475 20 (2 18 8 1, (3 14 1,4 4 (1,47 2 ( (1,4 (1, (1

RESUMO Neste trabalho, problematizo o conceito de categoria gramatical, particularmente gênero, apontando suas limitações como categoria discreta das línguas, a partir de cosmovisões diversas, a fim de redimensionar sua pretensa universalidade. As categorias gramaticais conhecidas no mundo ocidentalizado são constituídas ontologicamente, perpetrando-se como pressuposto na análise linguística desde então. Sua estrutura baseada em um Ser ocidental não é questionada em toda a sua existência, domesticando a descrição das diversas línguas. Entretanto, a partir de estudos linguísticos tipológicos e antropológicos que levaram em consideração epistemologias e cosmogonias diversas, foi possível verificar uma discrepância entre a categoria linguística gênero em diferentes línguas. Essa imposição categorial na análise linguística mostra-se ainda mais violenta quando vista através das lentes decoloniais, que nos permitem delinear não apenas uma epistemologia racista e sexista nos contornos da gramática/linguística ocidental, mas também ao confrontarmos um modelo ontológico às diversas cosmovisões. Dessa forma, ofereço uma reflexão do conceito de gênero gramatical como categoria, a partir da descentralização do conhecimento e de uma topologia linguística do ser, visando o cotejo do conceito convencional de gênero, caro à tradição gramatical, e suas representações em algumas línguas não indo-europeias, destacando seu apagamento na formulação do conceito de universalidade gramatical.

ABSTRACT In this paper I discuss the concept of grammatical category, particularly gender, pointing out its limitations as a descriptive category of languages, from distinct worldviews, to resize its alleged universality. Grammatical categories known in the Western world are ontological constructions, which carries themselves out as presuppositions in the linguistic analysis since. Their structure based on a Western Being is not doubted in their whole existence, taming the description of several languages. However, from typological and anthropological linguistic studies which considered diverse epistemologies and cosmogonies, it was possible to verify discrepancies on gender as a linguistic category among different languages and cultures. This categorial imposition in the linguistic analysis turned up more violent when seen through decolonial lenses, which allowed us to outline not only a racist and sexist epistemology on the Western grammatical/linguistic contours, but also on confronting an ontological model to diverse worldviews. Thus, I offer some thoughts on the concept of grammatical gender as a category, from the decentralization of knowledge and from a linguistic topology of the being, aiming at comparing the conventional concept of gender, dear to the grammar tradition, and its correspondent in some non-Indo-European languages, highlighting its erasure in formulating the concept of grammatical universality.

Abstract This paper aims to discuss the function of grammatical gender in natural languages. From a review of classical works on the origin of gender in Indo-European languages and the nominal aspect partition proposed by Rijkhoff (1991), it is assumed that the marking of grammatical gender determines differences of perspectivization in nouns, based on the hypothesis that gender and number marking are two sides of the same aspectual feature SET. We conclude that the gender marking realization enables more individualized readings of objects, which may be generic or particularized, which was illustrated by a number of languages from distinct families.

Resumen El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo discutir la función del género gramatical. A partir de una revisión sobre el origen de la categoría de género en las lenguas indoeuropeas y de partición de aspecto nominal propuesta por Rijkhoff (1991), se asume que la marcación gramatical de género determina diferencias de perspectivización de los nombres en base a la hipótesis de que la marcación de género y número son dos caras del trazo aspectual CONJUNTO. Se concluye que la realización de las marcas de género posibilita lecturas más individualizadas de objetos, las que pueden ser genéricas o particularizadas, lo que fue ilustrado en diferentes lenguas de distintas familias.

Abstract Purpose: To determine the efficacy of norbixin-based poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) membranes for Achilles tendon repair. Methods: Thirty rats were submitted to total tenotomy surgery of the right Achilles tendon and divided into two groups (control and membrane; n = 15 each), which were further subdivided into three subgroups (days 7, 14, and 21; n = 5 each). Samples were analyzed histologically. Results: Histological analysis showed a significant reduction in inflammatory infiltrates on days 7, 14 (p < 0.0001 for both), and 21 (p = 0.0004) in the membrane group compared to that in the control group. There was also a significant decrease in the number of fibroblasts in the control group on days 7, 14 (p < 0.0001), and 21 (p = 0.0032). Further, an increase in type I collagen deposition was observed in the membrane group compared to that in the control group on days 7 (p = 0.0133) and 14 (p = 0.0107). Conclusion: Treatment with norbixin-based PHB membranes reduces the inflammatory response, increases fibroblast proliferation, and improves collagen production in the tendon repair region, especially between days 7 and 14.
