Automatic Joint Lesion Detection by enhancing local feature interaction.

Recently, deep learning models have demonstrated impressive performance in Automatic Joint Lesion Detection (AJLD), yet balancing accuracy and efficiency remains a significant challenge. This paper focuses on achieving end-to-end lesion detection while improving accuracy to meet clinical requirements. To enhance the overall performance of AJLD, we propose novel modules: Local Attention Feature Fus...

Application of deep learning algorithm for judicious use of anti-VEGF in diabetic macular edema.

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a major complication of diabetic retinopathy characterized by fluid accumulation in the macula, leading to vision impairment. The standard treatment involves anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) therapy, but approximately 36% of patients do not respond adequately, highlighting the need for more precise predictive models to guide treatment. This study aims ...

Unlocking precision medicine: clinical applications of integrating health records, genetics, and immunology through artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in precision medicine, revolutionizing the integration and analysis of health recor...

Deep learning-based prediction of autoimmune diseases.

Autoimmune Diseases are a complex group of diseases caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking body tissues. Their etiology involves multiple fa...

Machine learning enables high-throughput, low-replicate screening for novel anti-seizure targets and compounds using combined movement and calcium fluorescence in larval zebrafish.

Identifying new anti-seizure medications (ASMs) is difficult due to limitations in animal-based assays. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) serve as a model for c...

Risk prediction of functional disability among middle-aged and older adults with arthritis: A nationwide cross-sectional study using interpretable machine learning.

BACKGROUND: Arthritis is a common chronic disease among middle-aged and older adults and is strongly related to functional decline.

Developing an interpretable machine learning model for diagnosing gout using clinical and ultrasound features.

OBJECTIVE: To develop a machine learning (ML) model using clinical data and ultrasound features for gout prediction, and apply SHapley Additive exPlan...

Concentration-dependent effects of immunomodulatory cocktails on the generation of leukemia-derived dendritic cells, DC mediated T-cell activation and on-target/off-tumor toxicity.
