Deep learning of lumbar spine X-ray for osteopenia and osteoporosis screening: A multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Osteoporosis is a prevalent but underdiagnosed condition. As compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measures, we aimed to develop a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model to classify osteopenia and osteoporosis with the use of lumbar spine X-ray images. Herein, we developed the DCNN models based on the training dataset, which comprising 1616 lumbar spine X-ray images from 808 p...

Combination of Estradiol with Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Stimulates Granulosa Cells Differentiation into Oocyte-Like Cells.

Previous studies have documented that cumulus granulosa cells (GCs) can trans-differentiation into different non-ovarian cells, showing their multipotentiality to repopulate the injured cells in ovarian tissue. The current experiment is aimed to assess the differentiation capacity of human cumulus GCs toward the oocyte-like phenotype . GCs were isolated from healthy female volunteers subjected t...

Improving the accuracy of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor grading with deep learning.

The Ki-67 index is an established prognostic factor in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs) and defines tumor grade. It is currently estim...

Deep Learning-Based Detection of Pigment Signs for Analysis and Diagnosis of Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Ophthalmological analysis plays a vital role in the diagnosis of various eye diseases, such as glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and diabetic and h...

Integrative blockwise sparse analysis for tissue characterization and classification.

The topic of sparse representation of samples in high dimensional spaces has attracted growing interest during the past decade. In this work, we devel...

Automatic snoring sounds detection from sleep sounds based on deep learning.

Deep learned tissue "fingerprints" classify breast cancers by ER/PR/Her2 status from H&E images.

Because histologic types are subjective and difficult to reproduce between pathologists, tissue morphology often takes a back seat to molecular testin...

ACNNT3: Attention-CNN Framework for Prediction of Sequence-Based Bacterial Type III Secreted Effectors.

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a special protein delivery system in Gram-negative bacteria which delivers T3SS-secreted effectors (T3SEs) to ...

Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Review of Conventional and Advanced Therapeutic Strategies.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells are deficient in estrogen, progesterone and ERBB2 receptor expression, presenting a particularly challengin...

Climate-induced thermoregulatory responses in a non-linear thermal environment: investigating the inter-dependencies using a facile artificial neural network-based predictive strategy.

. Given the burgeoning impacts of climatic variability on human health, suitable computational paradigms are used to explore the subsequent ergonomic ...

Statistical Modeling of Longitudinal Data with Non-ignorable Non-monotone Missingness with Semiparametric Bayesian and Machine Learning Components.

In longitudinal studies, outcomes are measured repeatedly over time and it is common that not all the patients will be measured throughout the study. ...

Collective effects of long-range DNA methylations predict gene expressions and estimate phenotypes in cancer.

DNA methylation of various genomic regions has been found to be associated with gene expression in diverse biological contexts. However, most genome-w...

Automatic opportunistic osteoporosis screening using low-dose chest computed tomography scans obtained for lung cancer screening.

OBJECTIVE: Osteoporosis is a prevalent and treatable condition, but it remains underdiagnosed. In this study, a deep learning-based system was develop...

Decoding rejuvenating effects of mechanical loading on skeletal aging using in vivo μCT imaging and deep learning.

Throughout the process of aging, dynamic changes of bone material, micro- and macro-architecture result in a loss of strength and therefore in an incr...

Radiomics for classification of bone mineral loss: A machine learning study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop predictive models to classify osteoporosis, osteopenia and normal patients using radiomics and machi...
