We hypothesized that an optimal channel with optimum paired EEG features could achieve coverage comparable to a multichannel system. Subject-specific, EEG-feature-specific thresholding techniques were introduced to classify 927 EEG epochs, derived from visual-based scoring through image processing of fifty drivers' facial expressions during a 50-min driving simulation, using six individual EEG channels with paired features. Ten normalized EEG features were extracted per epoch using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and seven thresholding techniques were applied to identify the most consistent method across subjects. Epochs were classified as drowsy or wakeful based on whether their normalized values exceeded or fell below a specific threshold. We then assessed the coverage of each channel by comparing EEG patterns with visual-based scoring. To determine the optimal feature pair for classifying each epoch in alignment with visual-based scoring, 45 feature combinations were evaluated. The pairing of power spectral density (PSD) alpha and PSD theta in channels Frontal4 (F4) and Occipital2 (O2) yielded the highest coverage, achieving 96.1% and 95% with corresponding accuracies of 95.4% and 94.7%, respectively. These results slightly surpassed the coverage achieved using six channels with a single feature, with increases of 1.47% for F4 and 0.32% for O2.

With its portable and cost-effective structure, Microsoft Kinect offers significant advantages in measuring human movements and provides valuable data in the fields of sports science and medicine. The aim of this study is to compare certain anthropometric measurements of adolescent female weightlifters in the U-15 age category with Kinect V2 and traditional methods. Twelve athletes who won medals in international weightlifting championships were included in the study. Anthropometric evaluations of each athlete were performed using Kinect V2 and the traditional method. Differences between measurements were analyzed with Bland-Altman plots and Pearson correlation coefficients. Kinect was found to exhibit less variability and higher coherency in measurements of humerus, forearm, trochanter-tibiale laterale, tibial lengths, and shoulder width. It has been observed that the traditional method provides more coherence results in hand length measurements. Kinect was found to exhibit less variability and higher coherency in measurements of forearm, trochanter-tibiale laterale, tibial lengths, and shoulder width, indicating its potential as a reliable tool for these parameters. Notably, Kinect demonstrated high reliability for tibial length (ICC 0.918) and moderate reliability for trochanter-tibiale laterale (ICC 0.737), showing its effectiveness in these measurements. Additionally, Kinect exhibited lower variation and higher coherency in most measurements compared to manual methods, supporting its consistency and repeatability in anthropometric assessments. These results indicate that Kinect may be a suitable tool for some measurements but that traditional methods may be preferable for hand length measurements. These findings suggest that Kinect can be used effectively for certain anthropometric measurements in sports and medical science.</p>","PeriodicalId":49840,"journal":{"name":"Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081639","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 detail-preserving network constructs a complex module with multi-residual hybrid dilated convolution, which can enhance the network's receptive field while preserving the image's full detail features, enabling it to better capture the small vessel's structural features. Simultaneously, discriminator enhancement is incorporated into the training process through adversarial learning, effectively utilizing large amounts of unlabeled data to boost the generalization and robustness of the segmentation model. We validate the proposed method on in-house and public coronary artery datasets and public pulmonary artery datasets.

In this study, a deep learning model was applied to identify ten key genes from a pool of 68 common differentially expressed genes in the three transcriptomic datasets. The model demonstrated high performance, with the accuracy of 0.969, R<sup>2</sup> of 0.88, and PR-AUC of 0.98. Notably, selected genes have been previously reported as functionally important in various cancers. Among them, SCUBE2 stands out as a novel potential diagnostic biomarker in prostate cancer, showing a strong diagnostic performance in the TCGA dataset with AUC = 0.84, sensitivity = 0.76, and specificity = 0.84. SCUBE2 is a secreted glycoprotein known for its ability to suppress tumor growth, cell migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in several cancer types, including gliomas, breast, and colorectal cancers, mainly through its regulation of signaling pathways such as Hedgehog (Shh). Although its role in prostate cancer (PCa) has not been previously explored, its consistent downregulation across multiple PCa datasets in this study suggests it may act as a tumor suppressor, warranting further investigation. Another candidate, SLC16A5, showed moderate performance individually (AUC = 0.62, SP = 0.81, SE = 0.42 in GSE88808), but its combination with SCUBE2 significantly enhanced diagnostic accuracy (combined AUC = 0.76, SE = 0.75, SP = 0.71). SLC16A5 is a monocarboxylate transporter involved in metabolic reprogramming, and prior studies have linked its downregulation to immune infiltration and poor prognosis in PCa. Functional enrichment analysis of the ten identified genes revealed strong involvement of these genes in cancer-related processes, including gap junction assembly, tight junction formation, efflux transporter activity, and pathways such as Hedgehog signaling, leukocyte transendothelial migration, and cell-cell adhesion. Hub gene analysis further confirmed the central roles of identified genes such as CAV1, GJA1, AMACR, and CLDN8, which are well-documented in cancer progression, metastasis, or therapeutic resistance. In summary, this study identifies SCUBE2 as a novel potential diagnostic biomarker for prostate cancer and supports the use of AI-driven gene discovery in identifying key players in tumor biology. The combination of SCUBE2 with SLC16A5 not only enhances diagnostic precision but also opens new avenues for functional and clinical validation, ultimately contributing to the development of more accurate, multi-gene diagnostic panels for PCa.</p>","PeriodicalId":49840,"journal":{"name":"Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143993781","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}

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging-based tractography is the only noninvasive method to preoperatively reconstruct CST in clinical practice. However, for the largesize bundle CST with complex fiber geometry (fanning fibers), reconstructing its full extent remains challenging with local-derived methods without incorporating global information. Especially in the presence of tumors, the mass effect and partial volume effect cause abnormal diffusion signals. In this work, a CST reconstruction tractography method based on a novel direction filter was proposed, designed to ensure robust CST reconstruction in the clinical dataset with tumors. A direction filter based on a fourth-order differential equation was introduced for global direction estimation. By considering the spatial consistency and leveraging anatomical prior knowledge, the direction filter was computed by minimizing the energy between the target directions and initial fiber directions. On the basis of the new directions corresponding to CST obtained by the direction filter, the fiber tracking method was implemented to reconstruct the fiber trajectory. Additionally, a deep learning-based method along with tractography template prior information was employed to generate the regions of interest (ROIs) and initial fiber directions.
