Genomic, structural data and outcomes can be used to make COVID-19 simulations, predict mutations, outbreaks and guide therapy leading to drug discovery, drug repurposing and precision medicine (5).

In recent decades, significant advancements in computing power, combined with the availability of large data stores or “Big Data” and algorithm democratization have revolutionized AI and machine learning (ML). Research applications utilizing these technological advancements are booming, and their adoption is expected to continue to rise at a rapid pace. While AI and ML have impacted many components of the imaging value chain, the purpose of this article is to discuss interpretative uses of the technology as it relates to musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology. This review provides a general introduction to AI and ML concepts, and highlights the major promises, challenges, and anticipated future applications of these developments in MSK radiology. AI and ML advances for image interpretation can increase the value that MSK radiologists provide to their patients, referring clinicians, and organizations by increasing diagnostic accuracy while decreasing turnaround times, enhancing image processing and quantitative analysis, and by potentially improving patient outcomes. Familiarity with these processes among MSK clinicians and researchers will be paramount to the improvement and implementation of these new techniques into the clinical practice. Radiology departments, practices and practitioners who embrace these technologies now will be well-suited to lead this influential change in our field in the near future.","PeriodicalId":73815,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medical artificial intelligence","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48288816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that there is a tendency that machine learning algorithms outperform logistic regression in the accuracy of T2DM prediction.

Here we explore the efficacy of novel CNN architectures, including time-distributed networks and two-stream networks, which are inspired by advances in human action recognition. We demonstrate that these new architectures more than halve the error rate of traditional CNNs from 8.1% to 3.9%. These advances in accuracy may be due to these networks' ability to track the movement of specific structures such as heart valves throughout the cardiac cycle.

Early identification of patients at risk of these microvascular complications using predictive models through machine learning (ML) can be helpful in T1D management. The objective of current review was to systematically identify and summarize published predictive models that used ML to assess the risk of diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy in T1D patients. \u0000 Methods: A targeted review of English literature was undertaken in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/pubmed) and Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/) from January 1, 2016 to May 31, 2019. Eligible articles were also identified from cross-references. Following concepts were used in combination to conduct the search queries: diabetes, retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, microvascular complication, risk/predictive model, and ML/artificial intelligence/data mining. \u0000 Results: A total of 3,769 hits were found from all sources combined, duplicates were removed, titles and abstracts were screened, 61 studies underwent full-text review and a total of six studies met the eligibility criteria. Among them, four studies had developed risk models using data obtained from T1D patients alone, whereas two used data from both T1D and type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. There was only one study that evaluated all three types of microvascular complications while the other five focused on one individual complication, i.e., either diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy or neuropathy. Only two studies evaluated time to developing a complication. The other four studies assessed complications as either binary (yes/no) or categorical (multiple levels). Prediction models were built using cross-sectional data from survey questionnaire (n=1, Iran) and longitudinal data (n=5) which were further classified as sources of electronic medical records (EMR) (n=3, US: 1, Europe: 2), clinical trial (n=1, US) and prospective study (n=1, Europe). Common predictors across studies as well as across types of microvascular complications included age, gender, diabetes duration, BMI, blood pressure, lipid level, and mean or a single HbA1C value. Commonly used ML algorithms included classification and regression tree (CART) and random forest (RF) (CART/RF, n=3), support vector machines (SVMs, n=2), logistic regression (LR, n=2) and neural networks (NNs, n=1). Model performance was evaluated using area under curve (AUC, n=4) and accuracy (n=2). Only half (n=3) of the included studies tested their developed models in an external dataset of patients with T1D. Conclusions: Overall, very few studies reported predictive models for diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy using ML specifically for T1D patients.
