Although some good results have been achieved, the research and utilization of spatial information is still insufficient. Moreover, some studies extracted different features for different patients and achieved good results, but these methods are not universal and robust. Different from the previous methods, this paper propose a new feature processing method of EEG signal. All electrode signals on the scalp are considered as a whole, and fusing data from different regions to obtain spatial information. Then the correlation of first derivatives is used to obtain fluctuation information of signal caused by epilepsy, which further enlarge difference of signal in different seizures stages. In addition, we also design a post-processing strategy, which uses time-series information to rectify prediction results, so that the final result is more accurate. Finally, experimental results from the CHBMIT dataset show effectiveness of proposed method and strategy, while the extensive result confirms that our method is superior to several state-of-the-art methods in recent years.","PeriodicalId":121059,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 33rd International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123720499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our approach has been built by analyzing the clinical notes of those oncological patients to extract this information and their relationships with other variables of the patient.

Radiography is the most cost-effective and accessible modality for imaging the spine. Conventional spinal assessment, diagnosis of scoliosis, and treatment planning relies on tedious and time-consuming manual analysis of spine radiographs that is susceptible to observer variation. A reliable, fully-automated method that can accurately identify vertebrae, a crucial step in image-guided scoliosis assessment, is presently unavailable in the literature. Leveraging a novel, deep-learning-based image segmentation model, we develop an end-to-end spine radiograph analysis pipeline that automatically provides an accurate segmentation and identification of the vertebrae, culminating in the reliable estimation of the Cobb angle, the most widely used measurement to quantify the magnitude of scoliosis. Our experimental results with anterior-posterior spine X-ray images indicate that our system is effective in the identification and labeling of vertebrae, and can potentially provide assistance to medical practitioners in the assessment of scoliosis.","PeriodicalId":121059,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 33rd International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121532429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By monitoring their daily movements, various behavioral models can be generated that can aid in the early detection, diagnostic, and recovery processes relating to certain ailments. Many approaches to monitoring a person's behavior in the home focus on instrumenting the individual in some way, such as using a smart watch or band, and trying to determine the types of activities in which the user is engaged, such as eating, sleeping, etc. This can be burdensome to the user as it requires vigilance to ensure the device is able to perform its task. We propose a method to unobtrusively monitor a persons movements within the home to generate an activity model through the use of a smart home sensor network. Using this model, we explore various methods to measure model differences that can be used to determine when an individual's activities deviate from an established routine. Our platform, the Automatic eXtensible Inferential Occupancy Monitor, or AXIOM, allows seamless data collection from multiple sensors as well as multi-vector predictive analysis using the generated activity model.","PeriodicalId":121059,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 33rd International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114740285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this front end \"data preparation\" step is non-trivial for CBCT images due to the inherent fluctuations in the intensity of tissues and bones caused by photon scattering of cone beam shaped X-rays during image acquisition.

During the experiment, subjects were required to respond only to Go character by pressing a spacebar. The experimental results from 59 participants demonstrated that one's response time and its variability correlated with one's gaze behavior. Subjects with higher gaze modulation tended to respond faster and more stable. We also observed that utilizing the proposed system we could monitor the improvements in an Autism Spectrum Disorder child during his rehabilitation: his gaze modulation increased and his response time became more steady.

The increased adoption of EHRs has brought changes in the way drug safety surveillance is carried out and plays an important role in effective drug regulation. Unsupervised machine learning methods using EHRs as their input can identify patients that share common meaningful information, without the need for expert input. In this work, we propose a generalized framework that exploits the strengths of different clustering algorithms and via clustering aggregation identifies consensus patient cluster profiles. Moreover, the inherent hierarchical structure of diagnoses and medication codes is exploited. We assess the statistical significance of the produced clusterings by applying a randomization technique that keeps the data distribution margins fixed, as we are interested in evaluating information that is not conveyed by the marginal distributions. The experimental findings suggest that the framework produces medically meaningful patient groups with regard to adverse drug events by investigating two use-cases, i.e., aplastic anaemia and drug-induced skin eruption.","PeriodicalId":121059,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 33rd International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS)","volume":"483 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114647803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
