Automatic Segmentation, Detection, and Diagnosis of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Hough Circles Algorithm.

Cardiovascular engineering and technology
PURPOSE: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is known as a cardiovascular disease involving localized deformation (swelling or enlargement) of aorta occurring between the renal and iliac arteries. AAA would jeopardize patients' lives due to its ruptur...

Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease with Sobolev gradient-based optimization and 3D convolutional neural network.

International journal for numerical methods in biomedical engineering
Alzheimer's disease is a neuropsychiatric, progressive, also an irreversible disease. There is not an effective cure for the disease. However, early diagnosis has an important role for treatment planning to delay its progression since the treatments ...

Diagnostic value of spirometry vs impulse oscillometry: A comparative study in children with sickle cell disease.

Pediatric pulmonology
BACKGROUND: Spirometry is conventionally used to diagnose airway diseases in children with sickle cell disease (C-SCD). However, spirometry is difficult for younger children to perform, is effort dependent, and it provides limited information on resp...

Modelling disease risk for amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis in non-human primates using machine learning.

Amyloid : the international journal of experimental and clinical investigation : the official journal of the International Society of Amyloidosis
Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is found in humans and non-human primates, but quantifying disease risk prior to clinical symptoms is challenging. We applied machine learning to identify the best predictors of amyloidosis in rhesus macaques from availabl...

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...

Machine-learning based brain age estimation in major depression showing no evidence of accelerated aging.

Psychiatry research. Neuroimaging
Molecular biological findings indicate that affective disorders are associated with processes akin to accelerated aging of the brain. The use of the BrainAGE (brain age estimation gap) framework allows machine-learning based detection of a gap betwee...

Development of machine learning algorithms for prediction of prolonged opioid prescription after surgery for lumbar disc herniation.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Spine surgery has been identified as a risk factor for prolonged postoperative opioid use. Preoperative prediction of opioid use could improve risk stratification, shared decision-making, and patient counseling before surgery.

Salivary microRNAs identified by small RNA sequencing and machine learning as potential biomarkers of alcohol dependence.

Epigenomics
Salivary miRNA can be easily accessible biomarkers of alcohol dependence (AD). The miRNA transcriptome in the saliva of 56 African-Americans (AAs; 28 AD patients/28 controls) and 64 European-Americans (EAs; 32 AD patients/32 controls) was profiled ...

Identifying psychosis spectrum disorder from experience sampling data using machine learning approaches.

Schizophrenia research
The ubiquity of smartphones opened up the possibility of widespread use of the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). The method is used to collect longitudinal data of participants' daily life experiences and is ideal to capture fluctuations in emotions ...
