Locality-constrained Subcluster Representation Ensemble for lung image classification.

Medical image analysis
In this paper, we propose a new Locality-constrained Subcluster Representation Ensemble (LSRE) model, to classify high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Medical images normally exhibit large intra-clas...

Real-time supervised detection of pink areas in dermoscopic images of melanoma: importance of color shades, texture and location.

Skin research and technology : official journal of International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin (ISBS) [and] International Society for Digital Imaging of Skin (ISDIS) [and] International Society for Skin Imaging (ISSI)
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Early detection of malignant melanoma is an important public health challenge. In the USA, dermatologists are seeing more melanomas at an early stage, before classic melanoma features have become apparent. Pink color is a feature ...

An automated high-throughput SPE micro-elution method for perfluoroalkyl substances in human serum.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry
An automated high-throughput solid phase extraction (SPE) micro-elution method for 8 perfluorosulfonic acids, 11 perfluorocarboxylic acids and fluorooctane sulfonamide in human serum was developed. Importance was attached to the application of small ...

miRBoost: boosting support vector machines for microRNA precursor classification.

RNA (New York, N.Y.)
Identification of microRNAs (miRNAs) is an important step toward understanding post-transcriptional gene regulation and miRNA-related pathology. Difficulties in identifying miRNAs through experimental techniques combined with the huge amount of data ...

n-Order and maximum fuzzy similarity entropy for discrimination of signals of different complexity: Application to fetal heart rate signals.

Computers in biology and medicine
This paper presents two new concepts for discrimination of signals of different complexity. The first focused initially on solving the problem of setting entropy descriptors by varying the pattern size instead of the tolerance. This led to the search...

Automatic detection of atrial fibrillation using stationary wavelet transform and support vector machine.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and a major public health burden associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Automatic detection of AF could substantially help in early diagnosis, management and co...

Language-Model Assisted Brain Computer Interface for Typing: A Comparison of Matrix and Rapid Serial Visual Presentation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Noninvasive electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) popularly utilize event-related potential (ERP) for intent detection. Specifically, for EEG-based BCI typing systems, different symbol presentation paradigms have been ut...

A Mobile Health Application to Predict Postpartum Depression Based on Machine Learning.

Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
BACKGROUND: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a disorder that often goes undiagnosed. The development of a screening program requires considerable and careful effort, where evidence-based decisions have to be taken in order to obtain an effective test w...

Efficient method for analyzing MR real-time cines: Toward accurate quantification of left ventricular function.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: To develop and assess an efficient method to identify end-expiratory end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) images for accurate quantification of left ventricular (LV) function in real-time cine imaging.

Multi-scale textural feature extraction and particle swarm optimization based model selection for false positive reduction in mammography.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
The high number of false positives and the resulting number of avoidable breast biopsies are the major problems faced by current mammography Computer Aided Detection (CAD) systems. False positive reduction is not only a requirement for mass but also ...
