Annotating images at the gigapixel level manually proves to be a highly labor-intensive and time-consuming task. Semi-supervised learning (SSL) has emerged as a promising approach that leverages unlabeled data to reduce labeling efforts. In this work, we introduce Semi-Path, a practical SSL framework enhanced with active learning (AL) for gigapixel pathology tasks. Unlike existing methods that treat SSL and AL as independent components where AL incurs significant computational complexity to SSL, we propose a deep fusion of SSL and AL into a unified framework. Our framework introduces Informative Active Annotation (IAA) that employs a SSL-AL iterative structure to effectively extract knowledge from unlabeled pathology data. This structure significantly minimizes labeling efforts and computational complexity. Then, we propose Adaptive Pseudo-Labeling (APL) to address heterogeneity in class distribution, and prediction difficulty that are often observed in real-world pathology tasks. We evaluate Semi-Path on pathology image classification and segmentation tasks over three datasets that include WSIs from breast, colorectal, and brain tissues. The experimental results demonstrate the consistent superiority of Semi-Path over state-of-the-art methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37151,"journal":{"name":"Smart Health","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100474"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352648324000308/pdfft?md5=f4f8f22379c8912b3ec2ba8e1545c8c7&pid=1-s2.0-S2352648324000308-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140308585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mature medical-grade devices are too expensive for primary care and assisted living facilities. Low-cost solutions rely too much on indirect statistical inference to be clinically suitable. Therefore, we propose a device that leverages mature, clinically suitable optical technologies to provide a solution for these facilities. Recognizing that individual combinations of 1–2 bands of active illumination are used individually to capture pulsation, vascular, and oxygenation images. We combine all these bands into a single multispectral lighting source to create a multi-functional, reliable device for wound assessment. We selected these bands to leverage CMOS cameras near orthogonality between the RGB channels and leverage that CMOS cameras can also sense near IR light if a filter is not present, reducing overall system complexity and needed bands. For each function, the necessary lights are turned on, and the captured raw video is then fed to the corresponding sequence of image processing steps. No deep learning models are used, so large training datasets are not required.

The potential benefits of music therapy, which uses music as a tool for healing and fostering well-being, have come to light in a number of circumstances. However, there is a gap in understanding the effects of Indian classical music (ICM) on the brain and its therapeutic applications. Yaman and Puria Dhanashree were the two chosen ragas, which share same notes (swaras) and differs in two of their counter notes. The brain responses are captured from five volunteers through 24 channel Electroencephalogram (EEG) cap using a smartphone, which is utilized to allocate electrodes to different regions of the brain. In this work, different automated approaches for identifying brain regions evoked to live ICM stimuli are proposed, considering input and output uncertainties. These approaches are based on automated energy and Mahalanobis distance measurements, and, a region-specific real-time algorithm based on eigen perturbation, which provides a measure to capture the time evolution of brain activity. This identification is relevant in understanding dynamic changes in brain responses during musical experiences providing a more comprehensive perception and processing of ICM in the human brain. Also, significant change in beta band power reduction was observed after music. These approaches can help integrate it into evidence-based music therapy for cognitive, emotional, and psychological conditions.

HAI poses a significant challenge in healthcare delivery that results in higher rates of mortality and morbidity as well as a longer duration of hospital stay. While the real cause of HAI in a hospital varies widely and in most cases untraceable, it is popularly believed that patient flow in a hospital—which hospital units patients visit and where they spend the most time since their admission into the hospital—can trace back to HAI incidence in the hospital. Based on this observation, we, in this paper, model and simulate patient flow in an emergency department of a hospital and then utilize the developed model to study HAI incidence therein. We obtain (a) a flowchart of patient movement (admission to discharge) and (b) anonymous patient data from University Health Medical Center for a duration of 11 months (Aug 2022–June 2023). Based on these data, we develop and validate the patient flow model. Our model captures patient movement in different areas of a typical emergency department, such as triage, waiting room, and minor procedure rooms. We employ the discrete-event simulation (DES) technique to model patient flow and associated HAI infections using the simulation software, Anylogic. Our simulation results show that the rates of HAI incidence are proportional to both the specific areas patients occupy and the duration of their stay. By utilizing our model, hospital administrators and infection control teams can implement targeted strategies to reduce the incidence of HAI and enhance patient safety, ultimately leading to improved healthcare outcomes and more efficient resource allocation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37151,"journal":{"name":"Smart Health","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100467"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140297030","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}
