Classification of diabetes-related retinal diseases using a deep learning approach in optical coherence tomography.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) is a volumetric imaging technique that allows measuring patterns between layers such as small amounts of fluid. Since 2012, automatic medical image analysis performance ...

An intelligent warning model for early prediction of cardiac arrest in sepsis patients.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: Sepsis-associated cardiac arrest is a common issue with the low survival rate. Early prediction of cardiac arrest can provide the time required for intervening and preventing its onset in order to reduce mortality. Several studies have be...

Sleep stage classification using covariance features of multi-channel physiological signals on Riemannian manifolds.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The recognition of many sleep related pathologies highly relies on an accurate classification of sleep stages. Clinically, sleep stages are usually labelled by sleep experts through visually inspecting the whole-night polyso...

An automatic method for lung segmentation and reconstruction in chest X-ray using deep neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chest X-ray (CXR) is one of the most used imaging techniques for detection and diagnosis of pulmonary diseases. A critical component in any computer-aided system, for either detection or diagnosis in digital CXR, is the auto...

A comparative study on feature selection for a risk prediction model for colorectal cancer.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Risk prediction models aim at identifying people at higher risk of developing a target disease. Feature selection is particularly important to improve the prediction model performance avoiding overfitting and to identify the...

A novel IRBF-RVM model for diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the common cardiovascular diseases, and electrocardiography (ECG) is a key indicator for the detection and diagnosis of AF and other heart diseases. In this study, an improved machine learn...

An empirical evaluation of deep learning for ICD-9 code assignment using MIMIC-III clinical notes.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Code assignment is of paramount importance in many levels in modern hospitals, from ensuring accurate billing process to creating a valid record of patient care history. However, the coding process is tedious and subjective,...

Identification of clathrin proteins by incorporating hyperparameter optimization in deep learning and PSSM profiles.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Clathrin is an adaptor protein that serves as the principal element of the vesicle-coating complex and is important for the membrane cleavage to dispense the invaginated vesicle from the plasma membrane. The functional loss...

Brain tumor detection using statistical and machine learning method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Brain tumor occurs because of anomalous development of cells. It is one of the major reasons of death in adults around the globe. Millions of deaths can be prevented through early detection of brain tumor. Earlier brain tumo...

Detection of respiratory rate using a classifier of waves in the signal from a FBG-based vital signs sensor.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Monitoring of changes in respiratory rate provides information on a patient's psychophysical state. This paper presents a respiratory rate detection method based on analysis of signals from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based ...
