Kravchenko","doi":"10.17816/dd627084","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17816/dd627084","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND: The initial step in annotating an electrocardiogram is the evaluation of the patient's heart rhythm. In the presented study, a method has been developed to process the electrocardiographic signal and estimate the heart rhythm. The method is based on the application of a trained convolutional neural network, which will provide the physician with preliminary information about possible atrial fibrillation or the presence of other rhythm disturbances as soon as possible after receiving the electrocardiogram. Furthermore, such methodologies can be incorporated into telemedicine systems, thereby facilitating remote monitoring of cardiac status. \u0000AIM: The aim of the study was to develop an electrocardiography signal processing method for the classification of a patient’s heart rhythm into three classes: sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, and other arrhythmias. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The publicly available electrocardiograms of patients were selected for model training and testing. The software was written in the Python programming language using the TensorFlow framework. The training, validation, and test samples were formed with a ratio of 10:1:1:1, with a uniform distribution by classes. Three variants of data sets for each record were prepared: combining plots of all 12 leads of the electrocardiogram on one image, obtaining spectrograms of II and V1 leads using Gaussian wavelet, and representing the record as a vector cardiogram. The architecture of the convolutional neural network was based on the ResNet18 architecture, which was further modified, and a series of modifications were made for each of the input data representations. \u0000RESULTS: A serialized model was obtained with the following accuracy metrics: accuracy=43% for matching 12 electrocardiographic leads in the image; accuracy=43% for vector representation of the electrocardiogram; and accuracy=69% for wavelet transform of the electrocardiogram. In the case of a two-class problem involving sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation, the accuracy metric for the wavelet transform reaches 93% with metrics recall, precision, and F1-score values of 93%, 94%, and 93%, respectively. \u0000CONSLUSIONS: The results demonstrate the potential of using convolutional neural networks to assess the heart rhythm of patients. Further development of the project involves the selection of the most effective machine learning algorithm, testing of this algorithm for the two-class problem, and expansion of the solution for other classes of rhythm disorders. Additionally, it is possible to improve classification results for the three-class problem by using a superior model and introducing additional clustering.","PeriodicalId":34831,"journal":{"name":"Digital Diagnostics","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682201","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 examination was conducted according to standard technique using the ACUSON S2000 scanner (Siemens Healthineers, Germany) with a linear transducer with a frequency of 7–17 MHz, after setting the program of musculoskeletal examination. The cause of amputation was gunshot trauma. The duration of gunshot trauma ranged from 11 to 362 days, while the period between surgical intervention and the examination ranged from 11 to 340 days. The indication for the examination was pain in the limb stumps. \u0000RESULTS: A comprehensive examination of 179 peripheral nerves revealed 149 injured endings that were subjected to further evaluation. The distribution of lesion frequency revealed that the shoulder level was the most affected area in the upper extremities, while the thigh was the most affected area in the lower extremities. Notably, lesions on the left side were more prevalent in both cases. All observed changes in the endings were classified into three distinct groups: Group 1 (60%) comprised structural changes without signs of terminal neuroma. Group 2 (25%) consisted of structural changes with terminal neuroma. Group 3 (15%) included structural changes with potential (forming) terminal neuroma. \u0000In the absence of a terminal neuroma, ultrasound findings may include thickening of the nerve ending with preserved fascicular structure, decreased echogenicity, and increased vascularization of the nerve ending in color Doppler mapping. \u0000The ultrasound findings suggestive of a potential terminal neuroma include the following: the same and the presence of a globular hypoechogenic mass emanating from the nerve ending, the absence of differentiation into fasciculi in the mass, the latter not occupying the entire cross-sectional area of the nerve ending, and the mass being avascular on color Doppler mapping. \u0000The ultrasound findings of a formed terminal neuroma include the following: a club-shaped or globular hypoechogenic mass exceeding the cross-sectional area of the nerve proximally by 2 or more times, emanating from the nerve ending; absence of differentiation into fasciculi in the formation; the formation occupying the entire cross-sectional area of the nerve ending and being avascular in color Doppler mapping. \u0000The timing of terminal neuroma formation was observed to occur on average 109.9 days (14–362) after gunshot trauma and 98.2 days (14–340) after surgical intervention.

One such tonometer is the iCare, which operates on the rebound principle [1]. A small rod is directed towards the cornea, the nature of its movement is analyzed, and the device calculates the intraocular pressure [1, 2]. The use of rebound technology for the advancement of a portable eye tonometer will facilitate the development of a convenient, accurate, and reliable device for the measurement of intraocular pressure. \u0000AIM: The aim of this study is to identify the principal advantages and disadvantages of the iCare ophthalmic tonometer, with a view to facilitating the further development of a Russian analogue. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors conducted a comprehensive literature review, searching for relevant publications in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and eLibrary databases from 2005 to 2023. The search terms used were “rebound tonometry”, “iCare tonometry”, and “intraocular pressure”. A total of 17 scientific articles were analyzed. \u0000RESULTS: The main advantages of the iCare tonometer are highlighted: \u0000 \u0000No patient discomfort due to minimal corneal contact time, no anesthesia required [1, 2]; \u0000The accuracy of the indicators measured by the iCare tonometer is comparable to the gold standard of intraocular pressure measurement, the Goldmann tonometer [3, 4, 6]; \u0000Portability and compactness of the tonometer, ability to measure pressure in a sitting or lying position [1, 2]; \u0000Intraocular pressure measurement takes little time [1, 16, 17]; \u0000The use of a disposable handpiece minimizes the risk of infectious disease transmission [16]; \u0000Possibility to measure intraocular pressure in eyes with various pathologies, such as glaucoma, keratoconus [9, 10], post-refractive surgery [11] and keratoplasty [8, 12, 13], vitreous cavity tamponade with silicone [14]; \u0000The iCare tonometer does not require regular maintenance and calibration, is easy to use, and can be used by other professionals and patients at home [16, 17]. \u0000 \u0000Disadvantages include: \u0000 \u0000High cost compared to other tonometers, requiring regular purchase of disposable probes [15, 17]; \u0000The limited use of the iCare tonometer in patients with corneal abnormalities, namely patients with an abnormal corneal resistance factor or corneal hysteresis [5, 7]. \u0000 \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The iCare tonometer offers a number of advantages, including patient safety and comfort during the examination, accuracy, portability, quick results, and the ability to be used on healthy eyes as well as on eyes with various diseases or after surgery.

In particular, in otorhinolaryngology, artificial neural networks are used to analyze images obtained during endoscopic examinations of patients (e.g., videolaryngoscopy) [1–3]. The interpretation of laryngoscopic images often presents significant difficulties for practicing physicians, which reduces the frequency of detection of precancerous laryngeal diseases and contributes to the increase in the number of patients with stage III–IV laryngeal cancer [4, 5]. This underscores the significance of prompt performance and accurate interpretation of the findings of endoscopic examinations of patients with laryngeal disorders. Artificial neural networks can be employed to analyze the results of videolaryngoscopy, furnishing the physician with supplementary information that can enhance diagnostic accuracy and diminish the probability of error [6, 7]. \u0000AIM: The study aims to develop and train an artificial neural network for recognizing characteristic features of laryngeal neoplasms and variants of laryngeal normality. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted under the grant of the Moscow Center for Innovative Technologies in Healthcare (grant No. 2112-1/22) entitled “Using Neural Networks (Artificial Intelligence Algorithms) for Control and Improving the Quality of Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases of Laryngeal and Ear Structures through Digital Technologies”.The following methods were used during the course of the study: data collection for the creation of a photobank (dataset) of medical images obtained during videolaryngoscopy; data partitioning for the formation of datasets for individual nosologies and groups of diseases; the method of consilium; analysis of the accuracy of recognition and classification of digital endoscopic images; and training of classification neural networks. \u0000Consequently, a dataset comprising 1,471 laryngeal images in digital formats (JPEG, BMP) was assembled, labelled, and uploaded for the purpose of training the artificial neural network. Of the total number of images, 410 were classified as pertaining to laryngeal formation, while 1061 were classified as variants of normality. Subsequently, the neural network was trained and tested to identify the signs of normal and laryngeal masses. \u0000RESULTS: The results of the testing of the artificial neural network indicated the formation of an inaccuracy matrix, the calculation of the value of recognition accuracy, the calculation of the quality indicators of the model performance, and the construction of the ROC curve.

The main causes of discordance and fetal growth retardation are considered to be differences in the size of placental sites, leading to uneven metabolism of substances and blood, as well as disorders of fetal blood supply caused by vascular anastomoses in the placenta [2, 3]. Computed tomography with the administration of contrast agents can be an effective method to assess the angioarchitectonics and vascularization of the placenta after delivery [4]. \u0000AIM: The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive computed tomography and morphological evaluation of the vascularization features of monochorionic diamniotic placentas with discordant neonatal weight. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was based on the analysis of 33 monochorionic diamniotic placentas obtained after delivery at 27–37 weeks of gestation using the original complex computed tomography and morphological method of investigation [5]. Upon obtaining the placenta, its mass and size of placental sites were determined, as well as the type of attachment, length, diameter, and degree of cord tortuosity. Prior to the computed tomography examination, the umbilical cord and its major branches were cleared of blood clots. The placenta was then immersed in a 10% hypertonic sodium chloride solution and placed on hygroscopic material. Subsequently, contrast dye mixtures of varying colors and concentrations were gradually injected into the unpaired umbilical vein, followed by the umbilical arteries in a sequential manner. The contrast dye mixtures consisted of a water-soluble radiopaque contrast agent, iodixanol, in an aqueous solution of gouache dye. The concentration of the contrast agent in the mixture for injection into the umbilical arteries was 70%, while in the vein it was 15%. The first and second placentae were injected with red and yellow gouache dyes, respectively, into the arteries of the umbilical cord, while blue and green gouache dyes were used for the veins. Following each injection of the contrast dye mixture into the umbilical cord vessel, a visual assessment of the vessel’s branching was conducted, followed by computed tomography on a Toshiba Aquilion ONE 640 (Pediatric 0.5 software package according to the Abdomen Baby study protocol). The final stage involved a traditional macroscopic and microscopic examination of the placenta [6]. \u0000RESULTS: The study revealed that the mean value of birth weight discordance in twins was 22.7 ± 2.1%, while placental site discordance was 26.6 ± 5.0%.

In the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of atomic energy use, there are a number of administrative documents obliging to keep records and control of individual radiation doses with the provision of data to the unified system for monitoring individual radiation doses of citizens. At the same time, statistical analysis does not include systematic accounting and control of individual doses of internal radiation to patients, in particular, to the lacrimal apparatus, when using nuclear medicine methods for therapeutic purposes. \u0000AIM: To develop a software and hardware preventive complex — a system for accounting and monitoring dose loads on lacrimal pathways during radioiodotherapy. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: GE Discovery NM/CT 670 imaging systems, GE Discovery NM 630, the Xeleris 4 DR Workstation nuclear Medicine Workstation and the I-131-based radioisotope were used. To exclude the ingress of radioisotope into lacrimal pathways, the use of vasoconstrictive drugs and the use of tear point obturators were considered. The client part of the web service was implemented based on the React JavaScript library. The development of the Backend component was carried out in the Python programming language. \u0000RESULTS: To assess the risk of complications, a method was developed that takes into account the following parameters: age, gender, total administered activity to the patient, the presence of current lacrimation at the time of hospitalization, the presence of menopause (for women) and the accumulation index I-131 in lacrimal pathways. The primary data (anamnesis and prescribed treatment) are entered by the patient's attending physician in the questionnaire during the initial examination. At 72 hours after the introduction of radioisotope, using a molecular imaging system, a medical physicist determines the index of accumulation of radioisotope in lacrimal pathways. Based on the data obtained, the overall risk level of secondary obliteration of the lacrimal tract is determined and, depending on the result obtained, appropriate recommendations are made to the patient. Since the described process is quite time-consuming in a clinical setting, an intelligent medical decision support system has been developed that allows automating the process and minimizing the likelihood of errors. \u0000CONCLUSION: The development of a software and hardware preventive complex will make it possible to prescribe preventive methods with greater efficiency at all stages of the course of treatment in order to minimize the occurrence of adverse events (such as secondary obliteration of the tear ducts), which in turn will improve the quality of life of patients.","PeriodicalId":34831,"journal":{"name":"Digital Diagnostics","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682599","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 technology is constantly evolving, offering new possibilities. The fundamental principles underlying the functionality of the intraoral scanner are light-measuring technology and photogrammetry. Light-emitting diodes integrated into the scanner body emit light onto the surface of the teeth, and sensors subsequently record the reflected signals, thereby creating an accurate three-dimensional model. The data is then processed by software that generates detailed digital models of the patient's jaws that are compatible with 3D CT data [1]. \u0000AIM: The study aimed to assess the potential of three-dimensional scanning for the planning and implementation of a single-stage dental implant protocol. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patient M., aged 41, presented to the dental clinic with complaints of a fractured tooth on the upper jaw (1.2). A decision was made to perform a single-stage implantation with the extraction of tooth 1.2 and the placement of a temporary crown based on the results of the examination. Intraoral scanning of the jaws was performed for the fabrication of the crown, as the cutting edge of the tooth was destroyed by two-thirds and the tooth fragment was lost. In order to create a model of the crown, the horizontal inversion technique was used. Tooth 2.2 was extracted from the scan of the upper jaw and inverted horizontally, resulting in a copy of tooth 1.2 in the expanded state. This was done to reproduce the exact shape of the future crown. The design of the crown was modeled in the program in conjunction with the loaded model of the temporary abutment (implant suprastructure for the fixation of the artificial crown). This approach enabled the accurate contour of the crown eruption and correct positioning relative to the gingival cuff and the abutment shaft to be obtained. \u0000RESULTS: The implementation of the technique permitted the creation of an accurate and anatomically correct model of the crown of the replaced tooth without its introduction into occlusion, thereby reducing the risk of functional overload of the implant during the period of osseointegration (engraftment) [2]. The applied method enables the exclusion of the stage of crown correction at the moment of its fixation and the combination of 3D scans with data from computed tomography for the detailed planning of the surgery. Furthermore, the use of 3D scans permitted the visualization of the projected position of the future temporary crown, thereby enabling the precise positioning of the implant in an anatomically correct location. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: This case study illustrates the efficacy of planning and implementing single-stage implantation with the aid of intraoral jaw scanning, as it reduces treatment duration, eliminates the necessity for implant loading, and ensures the attainment of a predictable treatment outco","PeriodicalId":34831,"journal":{"name":"Digital Diagnostics","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682167","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}

These technologies permit the objective analysis of the process of early embryogenesis of each cultured embryo without the necessity of removing the culture cup from the incubator. Timelapse technologies in routine practice allow for the guaranteed detection of embryo developmental pathologies that are inaccessible to traditional developmental monitoring methods [1, 2]. Nevertheless, the annotation and manual evaluation of all frames captured during the cultivation process can be a time-consuming process. Furthermore, video fixation itself does not eliminate the issue of objectivizing the quality of interpretation of the obtained images [3]. Intelligent technologies, in particular, solutions developed with the use of machine learning, are successfully employed in the resolution of such problems. \u0000AIM: The aim of this study is to develop a system for the automated analysis of the morphokinetic state of the human embryo with the aim of assessing its capacity for implantation. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data were collected at the Family Medical Center (Ufa, Russia) and the Clinical Hospital IDK of the Mother and Child Group of Companies (Samara, Russia). Digital images of the period of preimplantation development of human embryos up to the blastocyst stage (days 0–6 from insemination) were obtained using an incubator for in vitro fertilization laboratories, the EmbryoVisor, with a timelapse (hyperlapse) video fixation system. Embryos were cultured individually in special micro-well WOW dishes (Vitrolife, Sweden). The data set was labelled using Label Studio Community Edition software. A recurrent convolutional neural network was selected to analyse the data and trained using multiple images. \u0000RESULTS: The development of the automatic analysis system is based on the classification of the morphokinetic state of the embryo according to the stages of embryogenesis: fertilization, fragmentation, morula formation, and blastocyst formation. Segmentation of multiple objects, such as pronuclei and polar bodies at the fertilization stage or blastomeres at the fragmentation stage, will be performed depending on a certain stage of development. We plan to build a binary classification of the presence of additional features (multinucleation, heterogeneity of the endoplasmic network), classification/regression of additional features (so, fragmentation can be estimated as discrete ranges or absolute values). The result is a system for labeling the morphodynamic profile of an embryo using deep learning. This method automates and accelerates the analysis process, which previously required significant time and human resources. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: It is anticipated that the developed system of automatic analysis of morphokinetic state of embryos will simplify the process of evaluating the quality of human embryos in in vitro fertilization laboratories, reducing the time and ","PeriodicalId":34831,"journal":{"name":"Digital Diagnostics","volume":"88 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141683860","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}
