Recently, deep learning methods have become increasingly effective for automatically classifying ECG signals. However, most current research simply combines the 12-lead ECG signals into a matrix without fully considering the intrinsic relationships between the leads and the heart's structure. To better utilize medical domain knowledge, we propose a multi-branch network for multi-label ECG classification and introduce an intuitive and effective lead grouping strategy. Correspondingly, we design multi-branch networks where each branch employs a multi-scale convolutional network structure to extract more comprehensive features, with each branch corresponding to a lead combination. To better integrate features from different leads, we propose a feature weighting fusion module. We evaluate our method on the PTB-XL dataset for classifying 4 arrhythmia types and normal rhythm, and on the China Physiological Signal Challenge 2018 (CPSC2018) database for classifying 8 arrhythmia types and normal rhythm. Experimental results on multiple multi-label datasets demonstrate that our proposed multi-branch network outperforms state-of-the-art networks in multi-label classification tasks</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49836,"journal":{"name":"Medical Engineering & Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141398345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to modify previous internal pressurization procedures towards a more transferable injury model, then investigate the capacity for these procedures to damage the mechanical integrity of the annulus fibrosus. Porcine cervical motion segments with intact facet joints were confined between a vice and force plate under 300 N of static compression, then a single, manual, rapid internal pressurization was delivered.

Multilayer tensile testing was performed on superficial and mid-span samples of annulus by applying uniaxial tension of 1 %/s to 50 % strain. Compared to unpressurized controls, rapid pressurization causing fracture resulted in reduced lamellar adhesion and increased toe-region stress and strain properties in the annulus.
