Temporal segmentation of audio signals into individual words is an important pre-processing step needed prior to extracting acoustic features. Machine learning techniques could be used to automate speech segmentation via automatic speech recognition (ASR) and sequence to sequence alignment. While state-of-the-art ASR models achieve good performance on healthy speech, their performance significantly drops when evaluated on dysarthric speech. Fine-tuning ASR models on impaired speech can improve performance in dysarthric individuals, but it requires representative clinical data, which is difficult to collect and may raise privacy concerns. This study explores the feasibility of using two augmentation methods to increase ASR performance on dysarthric speech: 1) healthy individuals varying their speaking rate and loudness (as is often used in assessments of pathological speech); 2) synthetic speech with variations in speaking rate and accent (to ensure more diverse vocal representations and fairness). Experimental evaluations showed that fine-tuning a pre-trained ASR model with data from these two sources outperformed a model fine-tuned only on real clinical data and matched the performance of a model fine-tuned on the combination of real clinical data and synthetic speech. When evaluated on held-out acoustic data from 24 individuals with various neurological diseases, the best performing model achieved an average word error rate of 5.7% and a mean correct count accuracy of 94.4%. In segmenting the data into individual words, a mean intersection-over-union of 89.2% was obtained against manual parsing (ground truth). It can be concluded that emulated and synthetic augmentations can significantly reduce the need for real clinical data of dysarthric speech when fine-tuning ASR models and, in turn, for speech segmentation.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"382-389"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10464345","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140105378","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}

In this study, a tissue oxygen saturation detecting (TOSD) system that is based on multispectral imaging (MSI) is proposed to quantify the degree of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in cutaneous tissues. Methods: A wound segmentation algorithm is used to segment automatically wound and skin areas, eliminating the need for manual labeling and applying adaptive tissue optics. Animal experiments were conducted on six mice in which they were observed seven times, once every two days. The TOSD system illuminated cutaneous tissues with two wavelengths of light - red (\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$mathrm {lambda } = 660$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 nm) and near-infrared (\u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$mathrm {lambda } = 880$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 nm), and StO2 levels were calculated using images that were captured using a monochrome camera. The wound segmentation algorithm using ResNet34-based U-Net was integrated with computer vision techniques to improve its performance. Results: Animal experiments revealed that the wound segmentation algorithm achieved a Dice score of 93.49%. The StO2 levels that were determined using the TOSD system varied significantly among the phases of wound healing. Changes in StO2 levels were detected before laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) detected changes in blood flux. Moreover, statistical features that were extracted from the TOSD system and LSCI were utilized in principal component analysis (PCA) to visualize different wound healing phases. The average silhouette coefficients of the TOSD system with segmentation (ResNet34-based U-Net) and LSCI were 0.2890 and 0.0194, respectively. Conclusion: By detecting the StO2 levels of cutaneous tissues using the TOSD system with segmentation, the phases of wound healing were accurately distinguished.

Diagnosis of a cavity lesion is commonly based on accurate recognition of the typical morphological characteristics. A deep learning-based model to automatically detect, segment, and quantify the region of cavity lesion on CT scans has potential in clinical diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment efficacy assessment. Methods: A weakly-supervised deep learning-based method named CSA2-ResNet was proposed to quantitatively characterize cavity lesions in this paper. The lung parenchyma was firstly segmented using a pretrained 2D segmentation model, and then the output with or without cavity lesions was fed into the developed deep neural network containing hybrid attention modules. Next, the visualized lesion was generated from the activation region of the classification network using gradient-weighted class activation mapping, and image processing was applied for post-processing to obtain the expected segmentation results of cavity lesions. Finally, the automatic characteristic measurement of cavity lesions (e.g., area and thickness) was developed and verified. Results: the proposed weakly-supervised segmentation method achieved an accuracy, precision, specificity, recall, and F1-score of 98.48%, 96.80%, 97.20%, 100%, and 98.36%, respectively. There is a significant improvement (P < 0.05) compared to other methods. Quantitative characterization of morphology also obtained good analysis effects. Conclusions: The proposed easily-trained and high-performance deep learning model provides a fast and effective way for the diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of pulmonary cavity lesions in clinic.

However, the detection is challenged by the lower signal quality of ECGs recorded using handheld devices and the presence of ectopic beats which may mimic the rhythm characteristics of nsSVT.Methods: The present study introduces a new nsSVT detector for use in single-lead, 30-s ECGs, based on the assumption that beats in an nsSVT episode exhibits similar morphology, implying that episodes with beats of deviating morphology, either due to ectopic beats or noise/artifacts, are excluded. A support vector machine is used to classify successive 5-beat sequences in a sliding window with respect to similar morphology. Due to the lack of adequate training data, the classifier is trained using simulated ECGs with varying signal-to-noise ratio. In a subsequent step, a set of rhythm criteria is applied to similar beat sequences to ensure that episode duration and heart rate is acceptable.Results: The performance of the proposed detector is evaluated using the StrokeStop II database, resulting in sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of 84.6%, 99.4%, and 18.5%, respectively.

Its development is associated with short- and long-term morbidity, and increased risk of death. Yet, we lack any rapid, objective, and automated method to diagnose delirium. Here, we detail the prospective deployment of a novel dual-camera contextual eye-tracking platform. We then use the data from this platform to contemporaneously classify delirium.Results: We recruited 42 patients, resulting in 210 (114 with delirium, 96 without) recordings of hospitalized patients in ICU across two centers, as part of a prospective multi-center feasibility pilot study. All recordings made with our platform were usable for analysis. We divided the collected data into training and validation cohorts based on the data originating center. We trained two Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) models that can classify delirium using a pre-existing manual scoring system (Confusion Assessment Method in ICU (CAM-ICU)) as the training target. The first model uses eye movements only which achieves an Area Under the Receiver Operator Curve (AUROC) of 0.67 and a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.68. The second model uses the point of regard, the part of the scene the patient is looking at, and increases the AUROC to 0.76 and the mAP to 0.81. These models are the first to classify delirium using continuous non-invasive eye-tracking but will require further clinical prospective validation prior to use as a decision-support tool.Clinical impact: Eye-tracking is a biological signal that can be used to identify delirium in patients in ICU. The platform, alongside the trained neural networks, can automatically, objectively, and continuously classify delirium aiding in the early detection of the deteriorating patient. Future work is aimed at prospective evaluation and clinical translation.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"488-498"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10521720","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925709","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}

Recently, machine learning methodologies have been incorporated into healthcare systems to facilitate the diagnosis and enhance the potential prediction of treatment outcomes for mental health conditions. In ADHD detection, the previous research focused on utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or Electroencephalography (EEG) signals, which require costly equipment and trained personnel for data collection. In recent years, speech and text modalities have garnered increasing attention due to their cost-effectiveness and non-wearable sensing in data collection. In this research, conducted in collaboration with the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust, we gathered audio data from both ADHD patients and normal controls based on the clinically popular Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in adults (DIVA). Subsequently, we transformed the speech data into text modalities through the utilization of the Google Cloud Speech API. We extracted both acoustic and text features from the data, encompassing traditional acoustic features (e.g., MFCC), specialized feature sets (e.g., eGeMAPS), as well as deep-learned linguistic and semantic features derived from pre-trained deep learning models. These features are employed in conjunction with a support vector machine for ADHD classification, yielding promising outcomes in the utilization of audio and text data for effective adult ADHD screening. Clinical impact: This research introduces a transformative approach in ADHD diagnosis, employing speech and text analysis to facilitate early and more accessible detection, particularly beneficial in areas with limited psychiatric resources.

However, the applicability of SCG is hindered by motion artifacts, including those encountered in practice of which the strongest source is walking. This holds back the translation of SCG to clinical settings. We therefore investigated techniques to enhance the quality of SCG signals in the presence of motion artifacts. To simulate ambulant recordings, we corrupted a clean SCG dataset with real-walking-vibrational noise. We decomposed the signal using several empirical-mode-decomposition methods and the maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT). By combining MODWT, time-frequency masking, and nonnegative matrix factorization, we developed a novel algorithm which leveraged the vertical axis accelerometer to reduce walking vibrations in dorsoventral SCG. The accuracy and applicability of our method was verified using heart rate estimation. We used an interactive selection approach to improve estimation accuracy. The best decomposition method for reduction of motion artifact noise was the MODWT. Our algorithm improved heart rate estimation from 0.1 to 0.8 r-squared at −15 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Our method reduces motion artifacts in SCG signals up to a SNR of −19 dB without requiring any external assistance from electrocardiography (ECG). Such a standalone solution is directly applicable to the usage of SCG in daily life, as a content-rich replacement for other wearables in clinical settings, and other continuous monitoring scenarios. In applications with higher noise levels, ECG may be incorporated to further enhance SCG and extend its usable range. This work addresses the challenges posed by motion artifacts, enabling SCG to offer reliable cardiovascular insights in more difficult scenarios, and thereby facilitating wearable monitoring in daily life and the clinic.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"348-358"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10440609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139953785","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}

However, unlike domains where the data is low dimensional or there are large number of available training samples, neuroimaging data is high dimensional and has few training samples. To tackle these issues, we present a sparse feedforward deep neural architecture for encoding and decoding the structural connectome of the human brain. We use a sparsely connected element-wise multiplication as the first hidden layer and a fixed transform layer as the output layer. The number of trainable parameters and the training time is significantly reduced compared to feedforward networks. We demonstrate superior performance of this architecture in encoding the structural connectome implicated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) from DTI brain scans. For decoding, we propose recursive feature elimination (RFE) algorithm based on DeepLIFT, layer-wise relevance propagation (LRP), and Integrated Gradients (IG) algorithms to remove irrelevant features and thereby identify key biomarkers associated with AD and PD. We show that the proposed architecture reduces 45.1% and 47.1% of the trainable parameters compared to a feedforward DNN with an increase in accuracy by 2.6 % and 3.1% for cognitively normal (CN) vs AD and CN vs PD classification, respectively. We also show that the proposed RFE method leads to a further increase in accuracy by 2.1% and 4% for CN vs AD and CN vs PD classification, while removing approximately 90% to 95% irrelevant features. Furthermore, we argue that the biomarkers (i.e., key brain regions and connections) identified are consistent with previous literature. We show that relevancy score-based methods can yield high discriminative power and are suitable for brain decoding. We also show that the proposed approach led to a reduction in the number of trainable network parameters, an increase in classification accuracy, and a detection of brain connections and regions that were consistent with earlier studies.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"371-381"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10440083","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139953798","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}

Mutations in the C. elegans swip-10 gene result in dopamine (DA) dependent motor dysfunction accompanied by DA neuron degeneration. Recently, the putative human ortholog of swip-10 (MBLAC1) was implicated as a risk factor in AD, a disorder that, like PD, has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, the AD risk associated with MBLAC1 arises in subjects with cardiovascular morbidity, suggesting a broader functional insult arising from reduced MBLAC1 protein expression and one possibly linked to metabolic alterations. Methods: Our current studies, utilizing Mblac1 knockout (KO) mice, seek to determine whether mitochondrial respiration is affected in the peripheral tissues of these mice. We quantified the levels of mitochondrial coenzymes, NADH, FAD, and their redox ratio (NADH/FAD, RR) in livers and kidneys of wild-type (WT) mice and their homozygous KO littermates of males and females, using 3D optical cryo-imaging. Results: Compared to WT, the RR of livers from KO mice was significantly reduced, without an apparent sex effect, driven predominantly by significantly lower NADH levels. In contrast, no genotype and sex differences were observed in kidney samples. Serum analyses of WT and KO mice revealed significantly elevated glucose levels in young and aged KO adults and diminished cholesterol levels in the aged KOs, consistent with liver dysfunction. Discussion/Conclusion: As seen with C. elegans swip-10 mutants, loss of MBLAC1 protein results in metabolic changes that are not restricted to neural cells and are consistent with the presence of peripheral comorbidities accompanying neurodegenerative disease in cases where MBLAC1 expression changes impact risk.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"298-305"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10436707","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139744728","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}

Aseptic loosening is typically caused either by osteolysis from particulate wear, or by high shear stresses at the bone-implant interface from over-constraint. Our objective was to demonstrate feasibility of a compliant intramedullary stem that eliminates over-constraint without generating particulate wear. The compliant stem is built around a compliant mechanism that permits rotation about a single axis. We first established several models to understand the relationship between mechanism geometry and implant performance under a given angular displacement and compressive load. We then used a neural network to identify a design space of geometries that would support an expected 100-year fatigue life inside the body. We additively manufactured one representative mechanism for each of three anatomic locations, and evaluated these prototypes on a KR-210 robot. The neural network predicts maximum stress and torsional stiffness with 2.69% and 4.08% error respectively, relative to finite element analysis data. We identified feasible design spaces for all three of the anatomic locations. Simulated peak stresses for the three stem prototypes were below the fatigue limit. Benchtop performance of all three prototypes was within design specifications. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of designing patient- and joint-specific compliant stems that address the root causes of aseptic loosening. Guided by these results, we expect the use of compliant intramedullary stems in joint reconstruction technology to increase implant lifetime.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"314-327"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10433175","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139942667","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}
