The accurate and automatic localization of anatomical landmarks plays an essential role in medical image analysis.

We aim to develop a machine learning algorithm to quantify adipose tissue deposition at surgical sites as a function of biomaterial implantation. <i>Impact Statement</i>. To our knowledge, this study is the first investigation to apply convolutional neural network (CNN) models to identify and segment adipose tissue in histological images from silk fibroin biomaterial implants. <i>Introduction</i>. When designing biomaterials for the treatment of various soft tissue injuries and diseases, one must consider the extent of adipose tissue deposition. In this work, we analyzed adipose tissue accumulation in histological images of sectioned silk fibroin-based biomaterials excised from rodents following subcutaneous implantation for 1, 2, 4, or 8 weeks. Current strategies for quantifying adipose tissue after biomaterial implantation are often tedious and prone to human bias during analysis. <i>Methods</i>. We used CNN models with novel spatial histogram layer(s) that can more accurately identify and segment regions of adipose tissue in hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome stained images, allowing for determination of the optimal biomaterial formulation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a serious medical condition that requires effective and timely treatment to prevent stroke. We explore deep neural networks (DNNs) for learning cardiac cycles and reliably detecting AF from single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. <i>Introduction</i>. Electrocardiograms are widely used for diagnosis of various cardiac dysfunctions including AF. The huge amount of collected ECGs and recent algorithmic advances to process time-series data with DNNs substantially improve the accuracy of the AF diagnosis. DNNs, however, are often designed as general purpose black-box models and lack interpretability of their decisions. <i>Methods</i>. We design a three-step pipeline for AF detection from ECGs. First, a recording is split into a sequence of individual heartbeats based on R-peak detection. Individual heartbeats are then encoded using a DNN that extracts interpretable features of a heartbeat by disentangling the duration of a heartbeat from its shape. Second, the sequence of heartbeat codes is passed to a DNN to combine a signal-level representation capturing heart rhythm. Third, the signal representations are passed to a DNN for detecting AF. <i>Results</i>. Our approach demonstrates a superior performance to existing ECG analysis methods on AF detection. Additionally, the method provides interpretations of the features extracted from heartbeats by DNNs and enables cardiologists to study ECGs in terms of the shapes of individual heartbeats and rhythm of the whole signals. <i>Conclusion</i>.

To develop an approach for individualized closed-loop feedback control of microbubble cavitation to achieve safe and effective focused ultrasound in combination with microbubble-induced blood-brain barrier opening (FUS-BBBO). <i>Introduction</i>. FUS-BBBO is a promising strategy for noninvasive and localized brain drug delivery with a growing number of clinical studies currently ongoing. Real-time cavitation monitoring and feedback control are critical to achieving safe and effective FUS-BBBO.

This study performed feedback-controlled FUS-BBBO by defining the target cavitation level based on the baseline stable cavitation level of an individual subject with \"dummy\" FUS sonication. The dummy FUS sonication applied FUS with a low acoustic pressure for a short duration in the presence of microbubbles to define the baseline stable cavitation level that took into consideration of individual differences in the detected cavitation emissions. FUS-BBBO was then achieved through two sonication phases: ramping-up phase to reach the target cavitation level and maintaining phase to control the stable cavitation level at the target cavitation level. <i>Results</i>.
