    Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated pathophysiological processes. We performed a two-stage genome-wide association study totaling 111,326 clinically diagnosed/'proxy' AD cases and 677,663 controls. We found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis. Pathway enrichment analyses confirmed the involvement of amyloid/tau pathways and highlighted microglia implication. Gene prioritization in the new loci identified 31 genes that were suggestive of new genetically associated processes, including the tumor necrosis factor alpha pathway through the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex. We also built a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future AD/dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD/dementia. The improvement in prediction led to a 1.6- to 1.9-fold increase in AD risk from the lowest to the highest decile, in addition to effects of age and the APOE ε4 allele

    Image processing (IP) is a method of converting an image to digital form by performing operations on it to obtain an improved image or to extract useful information from it. It is a type of signal distribution in which the input is an image such as a video image or a photograph, and the output can be an image or associated characteristics. Besides, this system includes the processing of images in the form of two-dimensional signals, while applying signal processing methods already defined for them. One of the essential steps in IP is a combined application of erosion and dilation procedures, which is part of the mathematical morphology. This article presents a novel thermal image classification based on techniques derived from mathematical morphology. In the processing of grayscale breast cancer images, this method reveals the region of interest as the whitest area
