This paper introduces a deep learning framework for medical image fusion, optimising the number of convolutional layers and selecting an appropriate activation function. The conducted experiments demonstrate that employing three convolution layers with a swish activation function for the intermediate layers is sufficient to extract the salient features of the input images. The tuned features are fused using element-wise fusion rules to prevent the loss of minute details crucial for medical images. The comprehensive fused image is then reconstructed from these features using another set of three convolutional layers.

Countries with emerging economies, such as Colombia, frequently face technological and economic limitations that restrict access to advanced medical training resources. As a result, the development of physical and virtual patient simulators presents a viable solution, as they can be designed using accessible technologies to support training in low-resource settings.

ADHD diagnosis is based on evaluating inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity symptoms that interfere with or reduce daily functioning. Although electroencephalography (EEG) tests are used for ADHD diagnosis, they are generally considered a complement to clinical evaluation. This paper proposes an approach to classify EEG records of children with ADHD and control cases. We identified and extracted relevant features from EEG signals of 47 children (22 diagnosed with ADHD and 25 controls) and evaluated machine learning techniques for classification. We used the 2-tone oddball paradigm to elicit the subjects' auditory event-related potentials (ERP), and we recorded EEG signals with a portable headset for approximately five minutes. In the feature extraction stage, we included measures from cognitive evoked potentials, frequency bands power, chaos quantification, and bispectral analysis, in addition to the age of the children and the number of high-pitched tones the children counted during the test. The SVM and Trees algorithms obtained the best performance for 86.36% accuracy and 95.45% sensitivity. These findings demonstrate the potential of portable EEG-based systems to complement standard clinical assessments, offering an objective, time-efficient, and accessible approach to support early ADHD diagnosis. Achieving high accuracy and sensitivity in classification is critical to reducing the risk of misdiagnosis and ensuring timely intervention, ultimately improving patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":39637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Engineering and Technology","volume":" ","pages":"69-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143674664","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 article introduces a novel method to assess CVD in athletes through an artificial neural network (ANN). The model utilises the mutual learning-based artificial bee colony (ML-ABC) algorithm to set initial weights and proximal policy optimisation (PPO) to address imbalanced classification. ML-ABC uses mutual learning to enhance the learning process by updating the positions of the food sources with respect to the best fitness outcomes of two randomly selected individuals. PPO makes updates in the ANN stable and efficient to improve the model's reliability. Our approach formulates the classification problem as a series of decision-making processes, rewarding every classification act with higher rewards for correctly identifying the instances of the minority class, hence handling class imbalance. We evaluated the model's performance on a diversified medical dataset including 26,002 athletes who were examined within the Polyclinic for Occupational Health and Sports in Zagreb, further validated with NCAA and NHANES datasets to verify generalisability.

We were required to assess a newly developed uroflowmeter. We thus aimed to produce a standardised protocol to test the accuracy and filtering of any new uroflowmeter. The accuracy of a newly developed uroflowmeter (Minze Uroflow<sup>®</sup>) was validated using a constant flow bottle and a cylindrical flow column. Two other machines were also tested alongside. We also assessed filtering by reproducing common artefacts in the laboratory. Finally, a questionnaire was constructed to assess the usability of the uroflowmeter by clinicians during a normal hospital flow clinic. A protocol to test new uroflowmeters was written and assessed. The protocol showed the following results for the tested uroflowmeters: a simple bench test using a constant flow bottle and cylindric column showed that the uroflow parameters (Q<sub>max</sub> and V<sub>void</sub>) were within the claimed accuracy range and ICS recommendations. The processing of the flow data by the systems effectively filtered noise, and the flow rate decline over the whole measurement range, as produced by the cylindrical flow column, was smooth and linear.
