Although the color-emotion association for children has been addressed by various studies, the differences between healthy and seriously sick children on how to perceive and preference colors are rarely touched upon from a psychological and clinical perspective. Eighty children (39 boys, 41 girls), aged from 6 to 8, consisted of healthy and ill participants. A combination of questionnaire and color assessment was used to determine whether or not the participants' health condition is independent of the selection and preference of the colors and emotions they have chosen. A bunch of interesting findings are examined and discussed, which might be of certain significance to the future psychological assessment, intervention and treatment for children in a palliative setting.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131115338","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}

The computer-aided detection in microscope images can relieve the pathologists from strenuous manual labors with higher accuracy and efficiency. In the segmentation tasks of real-life clinical data, one challenging issue is the mis-identification of other cells, such as inflammatory cells, with similar appearance of nuclei in shape, size and texture. With a large distribution in the whole slide, even overlap up to 50% to 75% percentage of normal or abnormal cells, these cells are usually detected and segmented as nuclei. In this paper, compared with the typical three-catalogue segmentation methods of nuclei, cytoplasm and background proposed in the literature, we provide a discrimination between inflammatory cells and nuclei by adding a new catalogue. We present two novel convolutional neural networks (CNN), a deeply fine-tuned model and a trained from scratch model. The models enable us to sensitively detect and remove background noises such as mucus or red blood cells. We also profile a detailed performance comparison between these two methods, with the advantages of either network presented. The experiments are based on the sufficient clinical dataset we collected, and the results show the effectiveness of proposed approaches in selective cell detection and segmentation.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122405737","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}

The aim is to quantitatively investigate brain shift during intraoperative surgery. First, using 124 two-dimensional images constituting DICOM, a large number of 2D feature points are extracted as uniformly as possible inside the brain. Next, we extract one pair from the 124 preoperative images and the 124 postoperative images and construct map correspondences of similar feature points with a range of DICOM gray values. If the Euclidean distance between the two feature points in the 2D images is too large, the pair of feature points is deleted to prevent mis-mapping; brain shifts are usually less than 2-3 cm. Finally, we find image pairs with the highest number of mappings from DICOM images before and after surgery (two-dimensional stacked three-dimensional images), and generate graph representing correspondences between image pairs with the highest number. Finally, we visualize 3D correspondences between DICOM images before and after surgery.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130449324","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}

In this paper, a real data-driven powerful machine learning model is employed. With this technique, we model the detection methods of cervical cancer and determine the diagnostic accuracy of current mainstream methods for cervical cancer by multi-layer perceptron. Finally, the importance index of cervical cancer risk factors can be analyzed by random forest. The experiment results have shown that there is a close relationship between the risk factors and cervical cancer. And compared with other risk factors, age, number of sexual partners, hormonal contraceptives have a greater influence on the diagnosis of cervical cancer. Therefore, our research not only improves the predictability of cervical cancer risk, but also inspires the development of pathological model based on MLP and random forest.","PeriodicalId":196396,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 11th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Technology","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123606541","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}
