Quantitative prediction of postpartum hemorrhage in cesarean section on machine learning.

BACKGROUND: Cesarean section-induced postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) potentially causes anemia and hypovolemic shock in pregnant women. Hence, it is helpful for obstetricians and anesthesiologists to prepare pre-emptive prevention when predicting PPH occurrence in advance. However, current works on PPH prediction focus on whether PPH occurs rather than assessing PPH amount. To this end, this work stud...

Imaging Flow Cytometry and Convolutional Neural Network-Based Classification Enable Discrimination of Hematopoietic and Leukemic Stem Cells in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogenous blood cancer with a dismal prognosis. It emanates from leukemic stem cells (LSCs) arising from the genetic transformation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). LSCs hold prognostic value, but their molecular and immunophenotypic heterogeneity poses challenges: there is no single marker for identifying all LSCs across AML samples. We hypothesized that im...

Support Vector Machine-Based Formula for Detecting Suspected α Thalassemia Carriers: A Path toward Universal Screening.

The blood counts of α thalassemia carriers (α-thal) are similar to those of β thalassemia carriers, except for Hemoglobin A (Hb A), which is not eleva...
