What deep learning strategies best balance accuracy and interpretability in medical image segmentation for disease progression analysis?
Medical imaging (CT/MRI) segmentation is vital for tracking disease, but black-box models reduce clinical trust. Methods like explainable AI (XAI), uncertainty quantification, and hybrid modeling may bridge this gap. What approaches are most promising?

How can AI-enhanced modeling reshape climate-resilient water management in data-scarce regions over the next decade?
Water security is becoming one of the most critical challenges of our time, particularly in regions where hydrological data is scarce or unreliable. At the same time, artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing how we model environmental systems. The question is: Can these technologies bridge the data gap, improve decision-making, and help design sustainable, climate-resilient water management systems? We're looking for scientific insights, innovative use cases, and...

In austere/conflict settings, when does a complex surgery become ethically unjustifiable due to a lack of postoperative resources for managing complications?
As surgeons, we are trained to operate to solve a clinical problem. However, in severely resource-limited or conflict environments, this principle is constantly tested. Consider a scenario: A surgeon has the technical skill to perform a complex procedure (e.g., a pancreaticoduodenectomy for a tumor, or a complex limb salvage after trauma). However, the hospital lacks a reliable ICU, has inconsistent access to blood products, cannot provide parenteral nutrition, and has limited options for...

Does the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 need to be measured in early disease screening in COVID-19 and AIDS patients?
The defective gene in the global chronic disease epidemic has now been linked to the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1. Sirtuin 1 is now an important gene for consideration in Frontiers and Genetics. Nutritional regulation of Sirtuin 1 is critical to nuclear receptors/transcription factors that are involved with glucose homeostasis, immune system, body temperature regulation, stem cell therapy and mitochondrial biogenesis. Plasma Sirtuin 1 levels may be of critical interest to COVID-19, AIDS and the...

Could the significantly increase in childhood diseases be associated with drug abuse and government (CDC) mandates for over-vaccination of public with pathogen-specific vaccines?
Overview of data on American health status (young and old) and the tremendous cost of healthcare (sick care, drug-dependency and hospitalization) provides compelling evidence that in the twentieth century nearly all classic disease categories (congenital, inherited, neonatal, or induced) that occurred at the rates of 2 to 5 % in the last century, shifted to increase induced diseases (at rates as high as 50 % or more), according to official reports by governmental agencies and private...

What are essential funding barriers to get an ambitious and pertinent research proposal funded, and how to overcome them ?
We are facing financial issues to perform our African GWAS HBV Research Proposal for around ten years ago. Maybe our topic doesn't meet funders needs or interests. I would like to know my peers' view about the question.

How might AI-assisted peer review tools reshape scientific publishing, and what safeguards should be implemented to maintain review quality while addressing the increasing volume of submissions?
The peer-reviewing process is being faced with ever-growing challenges as submission rates are still rising exponentially in all areas. Journal editors are faced with the challenge of getting capable reviewers who are ready to volunteer their time, with a result being delays in reviewing, reviewer exhaustion, and worse, compromised quality. Meanwhile, AI technologies are accelerating their ability to review scientific manuscripts for methodology, statistical fitting, plagiarism screenings,...
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
