Classification of renal biopsy direct immunofluorescence image using multiple attention convolutional neural network.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is an important medical evaluation tool for renal pathology. In the DIF images, the deposition appearances and locations of immunoglobulin on glomeruli involve immunological characteristics of glomerulonephritis and thus can be used to aid in the identification of glomerulonephritis disease. Manual classification to such deposition pattern...

Identification of asthma control factor in clinical notes using a hybrid deep learning model.

BACKGROUND: There are significant variabilities in guideline-concordant documentation in asthma care. However, assessing clinician's documentation is not feasible using only structured data but requires labor-intensive chart review of electronic health records (EHRs). A certain guideline element in asthma control factors, such as review inhaler techniques, requires context understanding to correct...
