Automatic QRS complex detection using two-level convolutional neural network.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: The QRS complex is the most noticeable feature in the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, therefore, its detection is critical for ECG signal analysis. The existing detection methods largely depend on hand-crafted manual features and paramete...

Predicting non-melanoma skin cancer via a multi-parameterized artificial neural network.

Scientific reports
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure and family history are major associated risk factors for the development of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). The objective of this study was to develop and validate a multi-parameterized artificial neural network ...

Machine learning techniques for medical diagnosis of diabetes using iris images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Complementary and alternative medicine techniques have shown their potential for the treatment and diagnosis of chronical diseases like diabetes, arthritis etc. On the same time digital image processing techniques for diseas...

Tuberculosis diagnosis support analysis for precarious health information systems.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a world emergency for the World Health Organization. Techniques and new diagnosis tools are important to battle this bacterial infection. There have been many advances in all those fields, but in de...

Taxonomy of multi-focal nematode image stacks by a CNN based image fusion approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In the biomedical field, digital multi-focal images are very important for documentation and communication of specimen data, because the morphological information for a transparent specimen can be captured in form of a stack...

Revealing Alzheimer's disease genes spectrum in the whole-genome by machine learning.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an important, progressive neurodegenerative disease, with a complex genetic architecture. A key goal of biomedical research is to seek out disease risk genes, and to elucidate the function of these risk genes i...

Alzheimer's disease diagnostics by a 3D deeply supervised adaptable convolutional network.

Frontiers in bioscience (Landmark edition)
Early diagnosis is playing an important role in preventing progress of the Alzheimer's disease (AD). This paper proposes to improve the prediction of AD with a deep 3D Convolutional Neural Network (3D-CNN), which can show generic features capturing A...

Clinical Significance of Urinary Biomarkers in Patients With Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis.

The American journal of the medical sciences
BACKGROUND: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is often accompanied with tubulointerstitial lesion. This study aimed to assess the role of urinary biomarkers in predicting tubulointerstitial lesion and treatment response in FSGS patients.

Procalcitonin as Predictor of Bacterial Infection in Meconium Aspiration Syndrome.

American journal of perinatology
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of definite consensus on indications for initiating antibiotics in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), instigating researchers to search for a biomarker that can help differentiate MAS from MAS with bacterial...
