Biocompatibility is required to prevent any adverse effects that may result from this interaction. On the other hand, optimal performance of the medical device is also a concern. For Example, the performance of invasive solid-state blood pressure sensors may be affected by the packaging materials used to achieve biocompatibility.This paper investigates the effect of different packaging biomaterials with different thicknesses on the solid-state blood pressure sensor response under dynamic measurement. Using fluid-structure interaction formulism, finite element analysis is used to explore the effect of the packaging material on the sensor’s response. In addition, a comparison of the different biomaterials effects is presented to enable designers to select the optimal configuration.","PeriodicalId":294393,"journal":{"name":"2021 Sixth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128741353","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}

This work aims to evaluate the role of textures extracted from functional magnetic resonance imaging in renal dysfunction detection by differentiating healthy and chronic kidney disease patients. Textural descriptors are extracted from apparent diffusion coefficient, blood oxygenation level dependent images and T2 maps. Synthetic resampling technique is performed to account for imbalanced classes and increase the variety of sample domain. Principal component analysis projection is applied to eliminate irrelevant features and compact the dataset. The performance of linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression and Naïve Bayes classifiers in terms of discriminating healthy and affected kidney is evaluated. The results of this preliminary study support the fact that chronic kidney disease affects texture parameters significantly. Textures-based predictive models have shown promise in accurate and safe renal function evaluation (accuracy, sensitivity and AUC up to 98%, 98% and 1 respectively).","PeriodicalId":294393,"journal":{"name":"2021 Sixth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114117711","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}

If not treated on time, PVCs become life-threatening. In this paper, a high-performance approach is proposed for detecting PVCs in an unsupervised manner. The main objective is to perform an automatic PVCs detection in ECG without prior knowledge. Ten different statistical features are extracted to represent various characteristics of the signal. Thereafter, the proposed approach explores PVCs detection by two different strategies. Performance evaluation results over the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database (MIT-BIH-AD) show that the strategy based on Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) Method outperforms K-means Clustering Method with an average Accuracy (ACC), Specificity (SPE), Sensitivity (SEN), and Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 98.43%, 99.23%, 94.47%, and 96.67%, respectively. With less complexity and computation load, AHC can be an accurate candidate for PVCs detection to be used in clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":294393,"journal":{"name":"2021 Sixth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123425907","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}

Most recently, the field has benefited from advances in deep learning and big data. The advances are evidenced not only by the surge of academic papers published in the field, but more importantly by the worldwide industry adoption of a variety of deep learning methods in designing and deploying speech recognition systems. The objective of this paper is to propose an advanced and accurate end-user software system that is able to recognize specific commands to control a robot to perform specified tasks in a hospital. This model will be based on Deep Learning since it is effective in models having huge data as for the two versions of Google TensorFlow and AIY datasets used in our model. Convolutional neural network will be used since it is able to extract features from the dataset instead of traditional methods of feature extraction, thus saving training time and reducing the complexity of the system. With addition to that, NVIDIA CUDA will be also used to train the model with GPU to decrease the training time. During training, some experiments have been done to see the effect of some parameters on the results of the system, and to make sure that the chosen parameters in our model are the best. The results indicate that the training, validation, and testing accuracies of the proposed approach were high, the training duration reached very low values due to the innovation used (CUDA Toolkit) and the commands were successfully recognized by the model. These results outcome the results of the papers that developed similar work which will be presented in the coming sections.","PeriodicalId":294393,"journal":{"name":"2021 Sixth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130048596","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}

With this improved architecture we conducted a study to assess the influence of the number of training examples on the model performance and generalization. The question behind this study is: \"With an appropriate architecture, how many patients do we need?\". We evaluated 9 different adaptations of the MPU-net architecture. Then, after the selection of the best architecture we learned the model multiple times with different numbers of patients and assessed its performances. The addition of deep supervision, the reduction of number of convolutional layers and the addition of regularization layers produced a more stable and performant architecture. Learnings of selected model with only 10 exams delivered performances equivalent to learnings with 23 exams. So, in our experimental setup, it is possible to learn a performant model with only 10 fully annotated examples.","PeriodicalId":294393,"journal":{"name":"2021 Sixth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133303235","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}

ECG values recorded with an Microcontroller Unit (MCU) are used and the applicability of three different ML methods -K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB)- are compared.

The ability to perceive biological motion pattern over non-biological ones has been discussed in the research literature. Johansson et al. in 1973 has confirmed that human can perceive biological motion pattern from movements of little dots. Here, we investigate the difference between observing biological and non-biological task of squat vertical jump (SVJ). Action Observation has been proved also to improve motor performance of SVJ in several previous studies. Results of this study didn’t show any difference in observing both movements upon the performance of SVJ. We concluded that a kinogram may be internally represented from previous daily life experiences or scenes and therefore improvement of SVJ was confirmed with AO, but for both stimuli. Further research should stress the importance of the cognitive stimuli et its meaning for the observers.","PeriodicalId":294393,"journal":{"name":"2021 Sixth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115421733","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}

As cutting-edge algorithms for decision-making are vast and medical imaging machines are diverse, the choice of the ultimate algorithm remains challenging. As a breakthrough in the field, our aim is to explore the adequate machine and deep learning algorithms that improve the classification of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) Images, between normal and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) images. The target was to provide an automatic paradigm for the medical staff to detect the presence of DR Lesions from OCTA images for diagnostic and monitoring purposes. Data were collected prospectively over a year from a comprehensive medical center in Lebanon. The mixed Convolution Neural Network (CNN)-Support Vector Machine Network (CNN, SVM) algorithm was utilized in the new paradigm and compared to the feed forward backpropagation NN, to the SVM and to the modified SVM. Results were evaluated independently for the presence or absence of DR using statistical metrics. Experimental results showcased promising association of deep learning to the early diagnosis of DR. Results manifested the high performance of the new paradigm, where the mixed algorithm applied to the functional OCTA surpassed the performance of the feed forward backpropagation NN. The sensitivity of the mixed (CNN, SVM) algorithm was 22.22% higher than that obtained by the feed forward backpropagation NN. Moreover, the specificity of classification of DR from OCTA images using mixed (CNN, SVM) algorithm was 24.44% higher than that obtained by the feed forward backpropagation NN. The precision was 25.47% higher in the new paradigm than that obtained by the feed forward backpropagation network, and the accuracy was 23.35% higher in the mixed (CNN, SVM) than that obtained by the feed forward backpropagation NN. This high performance plays a massive role in improving the diagnosis of DR, and thus Healthcare system and processing of information. As a future prospect, we aim to consider more algorithms and variables in the diagnosis of DR from OCTA images.","PeriodicalId":294393,"journal":{"name":"2021 Sixth International Conference on Advances in Biomedical Engineering (ICABME)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115520669","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}
