Methods: Two versions of a portable hardware system were developed using impedance pneumography (IP) to measure tidal volume (TV) and surface electromyography (sEMG) to assess diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi). Version 1 was used to determine optimal electrode positions, while Version 2 integrated these sensor systems into a compact, portable design. Data from eight healthy male participants were analyzed to assess the correlation and accuracy of TV and respiration rate (RR) prediction using IP and the correlation between sEMG signals and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP). Results: For IP, measurements between the upper sternum and the midclavicular line (MCL) at the 4th intercostal (IC) space showed the highest correlation with true tidal volume. For sEMG, measurements between the mid-sternum and the 6th IC space demonstrated the strongest correlation with MIP. The integrated version 2 hardware demonstrates simultaneous IP and sEMG measurement while dissipating 2.17 mW. Discussion/Conclusion: The proposed system and the results presented may lead to a practical, cost-effective solution for continuous diaphragmatic efficiency monitoring, and thus enabling home-based respiratory care of CSCI patients. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement– This work presents the feasibility of building a wearable system that can unobtrusively monitor diaphragmatic efficiency, and thus enabling noninvasive, cost-effective, and home-based respiratory care for CSCI patients, facilitating early intervention and improved long-term health outcomes. This study is categorized under the early/pre-clinical research category of the NIH Clinical spectrum.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"13 ","pages":"246-250"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11017366","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144272970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because pain is a subjective sensation and there are no standard assessment procedures to detect pain, we attempted to quantitatively determine the actual state of chronic pain caused by musculoskeletal organs and related factors based on questionnaires. First, we studied techniques for diagnosing diseases by monitoring the involuntary characteristics of the voice. Then, we applied the technique based on voice characteristics and proposed a voice index to detect chronic musculoskeletal pain. The voice index was derived based on the assumption that physiological changes due to chronic musculoskeletal pain also affect the vocal cords. Subjects in this study were adults, 65 years of age or older, with chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system (lumbar and/or knees). A large-scale population-based cohort study was conducted in 2019. Voice characteristics were extracted from the recorded voices of the subjects, and the characteristics with similar properties were organized into several principal components using principal component analysis. The principal components were further combined using logistic regression analysis to propose a voice index that discriminates between normal subjects and subjects suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain. A discrimination accuracy of approximately 80% was obtained using the dataset corresponding to the participants with knee pain only, and a discrimination accuracy of approximately 70% was obtained during cross-validation of the same dataset. The proposed voice index may serve as a novel tool for detecting chronic musculoskeletal pain. Clinical impact: The voice-based pain detection holds clinical significance owing to its noninvasive nature, ease of administration, and potential to efficiently assess large populations within a short time frame.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"13 ","pages":"136-148"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10937750","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143801054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the associated electronic health records (EHR) are often unstructured and complex, posing challenges for systematic data analysis.Methods and procedures: In this study, we employ natural language processing (NLP) techniques and large language models (LLMs) to automatically analyze clinical narratives and extract diagnostic information from a diverse set of EHRs. Our dataset includes medical records from 486 patients, representing a group with diverse dysphagic conditions. We analyze diagnoses provided in unstructured free text that do not follow a standardized structure. We utilize clustering algorithms on the extracted diagnostic features to identify distinct groups of patients who share similar pathophysiological swallowing dysfunctions.Results: We found that basic NLP techniques often provide limited insights due to the high variability of the data. In contrast, LLMs help to bridge the gap in understanding the nuanced medical information about dysphagia and related conditions. Although applying these advanced LLM models is not straightforward, our results demonstrate that leveraging closed-source models can effectively cluster different categories of dysphagia.Conclusion: Our study provides therefore evidence that LLMs are highly promising in future dysphagia research.Clinical impact: Dysphagia is a symptom associated with various diseases, though its underlying relationships remain unclear. This study demonstrates how analyzing large volumes of electronic health records can help clarify the causes of dysphagia and identify contributing factors. By applying natural language processing, we aim to enhance both understanding and treatment, supporting clinical staff in improving individualized care by identifying relevant patient cohorts.

Although magnetostimulation has been extensively studied below 10 kHz, the behavior of PNS at higher frequencies remains poorly understood. This study aims to investigate PNS thresholds at frequencies up to 88.1 kHz and to explore deviations from the widely accepted hyperbolic strength-duration curve (SDC).PNS thresholds were measured in the head of 8 human volunteers using a solenoidal coil at 16 distinct frequencies, ranging from 200 Hz to 88.1 kHz. A hyperbolic SDC was used as a reference to compare the frequency-dependent behavior of PNS thresholds.Contrary to the predictions of the hyperbolic SDC, PNS thresholds did not decrease monotonically with frequency. Instead, thresholds reached a minimum near 25 kHz, after which they increased by an average of 39% from 25 kHz to 88.1 kHz across subjects. This pattern indicates a significant deviation from previously observed behavior at lower frequencies.Our results suggest that PNS thresholds exhibit a non-monotonic frequency dependence at higher frequencies, diverging from the traditional hyperbolic SDC. These findings offer critical data for refining neurodynamic models and provide insights for setting PNS safety limits in applications like MRI gradient coils and magnetic particle imaging (MPI). Further investigation is needed to understand the biological mechanisms driving these deviations beyond 25 kHz.<italic><b>Clinical impact</b></i>—These findings call for further basic research into biological mechanisms underlying high frequency PNS threshold trends, and supports refinement of safety guidelines for MRI and MPI systems for clinical implementation.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"13 ","pages":"275-285"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11005621","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144299302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preoperative monitoring and assessment are crucial to mitigate neurological risks. Identifying whether the third molar in the mandible compresses the inferior alveolar nerve still relies on dental professionals, a task that is repetitive and time-consuming. Thus, the primary objective is to utilize dental panoramic radiography for image processing and classify whether the third molar compresses the inferior alveolar nerve, aiming to reduce the demand for CT images in symptom diagnosis and mitigate the risks associated with high-dose radiation. This study proposes an innovative dental panoramic radiography segmentation technique to locate the third molar position. Subsequently, an innovative edge masking enhancement method is used to extract features of the inferior alveolar nerve and the third molar. Moreover, a transformer-based image detection model to consider whether the third molar compresses the inferior alveolar nerve. The third molar position localization method achieved an accuracy rate of 97.92%, compared to recent research at least improved by 3.6% accuracy. Subsequently, innovative edge masking and image enhancement methods improve classification accuracy by 4.3%, when supplemented with computed tomography scan images for further evaluation, the maximum accuracy reached 98.45%, representing a 4.5% improvement compared to previous studies.

However, interpreting CTG recordings visually is challenging for clinicians, given the complexity of CTG patterns, leading to poor sensitivity. Efforts to address this issue have focused on data-driven deep-learning methods to detect fetal compromise automatically. However, their progress is impeded by limited CTG training datasets and the absence of a standardized evaluation workflow, hindering algorithm comparisons. In this study, we use a private CTG dataset of 9,887 CTG recordings with pH measurements and 552 CTG recordings from the open-access CTU-UHB dataset to conduct a cross-database evaluation of six deep-learning models for fetal compromise detection. We explore the impact of input selection of FHR and UC signals, signal pre-processing, downsampling frequency, and the influence of removing intermediate pH samples from the training dataset. Our findings reveal that using only FHR and pre-processing FHR with artefact removal and interpolation provides a significant improvement to classification performance for some model architectures while excluding intermediate pH samples did not significantly improve performance for any model. From our comparison of the six models, ResNet exhibited the strongest fetal compromise classification performance across both databases at a downsampling rate of 1Hz. Finally, class activation maps from highly contributing signal regions in the ResNet model aligned with clinical knowledge of compromised FHR patterns, highlighting the model’s interpretability. These insights may serve as a standardized reference for developing and comparing future works in this domain.

In the first stage, DO peaks were detected using local linear models combined with thresholding criteria derived from clinical definitions and known artifacts. In the second stage, a segmentation method was proposed to detect the start and end time points of each DO event, marking the DO activity periods. As a result, complete clinical measurements, including bladder compliance, can be estimated automatically. The method was developed and tested on 77 anonymized urodynamic samples from SCI individuals (40 DO-positive, 37 DO-negative) with 158 annotated DO events.Results: On test data, in terms of the patient-level diagnosis of DO, the proposed method achieved an accuracy of 100%. Individual DO event detection achieved an average precision of 0.94 and recall of 0.72. Detrusor activity period identification showed a precision of 0.86 and a recall of 0.88.
