The assessment of autonomic balance under disease conditions is of clinical interest. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the CAD using Poincare-derived stress score (SS) and sympathetic/sympathetic-parasympathetic (S/PS). A total of 60 male (50–55 years) volunteers including CAD ([Formula: see text]= 30) and control ([Formula: see text]= 30) participated in this work. Digital lead-II electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded for 10 min in a supine position and filtered to remove noises. A total of 10 tachogram samples were computed from each subject for a 5 min ECG signal duration with a shift of 30 s on the processed signal using Acqknowledge 4.0 (Biopac Systems Inc., USA). The heart rate variability (HRV) parameters were computed from the obtained tachogram. The computed Poincare plot parameters were used to derive the SS and S/PS ratios. The regression model was employed to observe the correlation of SS and S/PS to the HRV parameters. The obtained results revealed reduced HRV with higher sympathetic and reduced parasympathetic activity under CAD than the control subjects. The autonomic dysfunction was observed with significantly higher values of SS and S/PS in CAD than in the control subjects. The S/PS was observed to be positively associated with LF/HF and SD2/SD1 parameters. While SS was found to be positively correlated to the LF and LF/HF parameters in CAD and control subjects. The obtained linear strong correlation of SS and S/PS with control and CAD subjects suggested the use of SS and S/PS as excellent sympathetic activity and sympathovagal balance markers.","PeriodicalId":8862,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139450981","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}

Timely detection of epilepsy is helpful for patients to decrease the mortality rate. To detect seizures, the Encephalogram (EEG) signals are analyzed based on monitoring the conditions of patients, and seizures can be detected from the EEG signal at appropriate times. The manual detection from the EEG signal requires more time for detecting the seizures and also it needs domain knowledge. The miss detection is eliminated by improving the classification performance in automatic epilepsy detection. Nowadays, deep learning models have not been greatly harnessed in the detection of epileptic seizures due to inappropriate descriptions of time-domain signals and sub-optimal classifier design. The aforementioned issues are combated by the novel Adaptive Hybrid Deep Learning (AHDL) approaches for epilepsy detection using EEG signals. Initially, the required EEG signal is collected from benchmark datasets. The collected signals are subjected to a signal decomposition phase that is accomplished by five levels of decomposition using Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT), where the parameters are tuned by Improved Probability-based Coyote Optimization Algorithm (IP-COA). Further, the decomposed signal is given for feature extraction, where it divides the signal into two phases. In the first phase, the first feature set is obtained by using One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN), whereas in the second phase, the proposed model utilizes Auto Encoder (AE) to provide the second feature set. These resultant features are getting fused and the optimal feature selection process is found, where the features are obtained optimally by the IP-COA. Finally, epilepsy detection is accomplished with the aid of proposed AHDL with both Radial Basis-Recurrent Neural Networks (RB-RNN), where the hyperparameters are optimized using IP-COA. Thus, the experimental results illustrate that the suggested model enhances the detection and classification rate.","PeriodicalId":8862,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications","volume":"33 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139008980","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 objective of our research paper is to introduce an innovative dual-channel deep learning (DL) model designed to effectively denoize MR images. The methodology of this model integrates two distinct pathways, each equipped with unique normalization and activation techniques, facilitating the creation of a wide range of image features. Specifically, we employ Group Normalization in combination with Parametric Rectified Linear Units (PRELU) and Local Response Normalizations (LRN) alongside Scaled Exponential Linear Units (SELU) within both channels of our denoizing network. The outcomes of our proposed network exhibit clinical relevance, empowering medical professionals to conduct more efficient disease analysis. When evaluated by experienced radiologists, our results were deemed satisfactory. The network achieved a noteworthy improvement in performance metrics without requiring retraining. Specifically, there was a ([Formula: see text])% enhancement in Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) values and a ([Formula: see text])% improvement in Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) values. Furthermore, when evaluated on the dataset on which the network was initially trained, the increase in PSNR and SSIM values was even more pronounced, with a ([Formula: see text])% improvement in PSNR and a ([Formula: see text])% enhancement in SSIM.

Therefore, studying the activity of epilepsy can greatly contribute to its diagnosis and treatment. The original signal is decomposed into IMFs and residual by ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), and then the first three intrinsic mode functions (IMF) are selected to replace the original signal, and the nonlinear and non-stationary problems of the original signal are solved. The Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) was used as the classifier, its parameters (gam and sig2) are optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The experiment used the EEG database published by the University of Bonn (UoB) to realize the classification of normal, interictal and ictal periods. When PSO was employed, the recognition accuracy of the test set was 93.33%, with a classification time of 0.035 s and the Information Transfer Rate (ITR) of 3.77 bpm in training 70 classes with 100 samples each. In contrast, without PSO, the recognition accuracy of the test set was 92%, with a classification time of 0.039 s and the ITR of 2.88 bpm without PSO in training 70 classes with 100 samples each.

In Computed Tomography (CT) images, the image quality is degraded by the absorption of X-rays and quantum noise, which is generated due to the excitement of X-ray photons. Removal of noise and preservation of information in the CT images becomes a challenge for an imaging algorithm design. During the algorithm design selection of dataset is an important aspect for deducing results. The dataset used in this research comprises of 60 CT scan images of liver cancer archived from the arterial contrast enhanced phase. In this phase the cancer cells appear more intense as compared to the healthy liver tissue due to the absorption of contrast enhancing reagent. The experimentation for appropriate noise removal filter selection is done by testing the images using Mean, Median and Weiner Filters. The filter selected should give an image output which has minimal randomness, sharper boundaries and no blur. The de-noised image will provide a better visibility of the disease to the radiologist and physician. The performance parameters used for the assessment of various filters used in the study include visual assessment, entropy and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the images. Median filter gives an accuracy of 96%, mean filter is 76.2% accurate with respect to original information and Weiner filters has an accuracy of 79.7%.","PeriodicalId":8862,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139247400","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}

However, the complexity of the HPIs makes it challenging to detect breast cancer accurately. Further, manual detection is highly time-consuming and subjective and depends on the experience of the medical professionals. To overcome these issues, an effective deep learning (DL) method for detecting breast cancer from HPIs is proposed. Here, the proposed approach is realized using various processes, such as pre-processing, blood cell segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. Segmentation is accomplished using the SegAN, and classification is performed using the deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). Both networks are trained using the proposed invasive water Ebola optimization (IWEO) algorithm. The efficiency of breast cancer detection is improved by using various features, such as shape features, histogram of gradients (HOG) and local gradient patterns (LGP). Further, the IWEO-DCNN is inspected for its dominance by considering measures, such as accuracy, test negative rate (TNR) and test positive rate (TPR), and the experimental results show that the IWEO-DCNN attained a maximal accuracy of 0.963, TNR of 0.963 and TPR of 0.950.","PeriodicalId":8862,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261402","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}

Periyasamy","doi":"10.4015/s1016237223500357","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4015/s1016237223500357","url":null,"abstract":"Lung sound (LS) signals are vital for diagnosing pulmonary disorders. However, heart sound (HS) interferes with the analysis of LS, leading to the misdiagnosis of lung disorders. To address this issue, we propose an Enhanced Variational Mode Decomposition (E-VMD) technique to remove HS interference from LSs effectively. The E-VMD method automatically determines the mode number for signal decomposition based on the characteristics of variational mode functions (VMFs) such as normalized permutation entropy, kurtosis index, extreme frequency domain, and energy loss coefficient. The performance of the proposed denoising technique was evaluated using six performance metrics: Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), root mean square error (RMSE), normalized mean absolute error (nMAE), correlation coefficient factor (CCF), CPU[Formula: see text], and CPU[Formula: see text]. In comparison to other denoising methods such as empirical mode decomposition (EMD), ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), complementary ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD), singular spectrum analysis (SSA), and variational mode decomposition (VMD), the new E-VMD method demonstrates superior denoising outcome. The proposed method was evaluated using LS recorded from the outpatient department of Thoracic Medicine at Thanjavur Medical College and Hospital, Thanjavur. The obtained performance measures are as follows: RMSE: 0.02103 ± 0.00054, SNR: 28.52464 ± 0.00253, nMAE: 0.00009 ± 0.00056, CCF: 0.9962, CPU[Formula: see text]: 34.586, and CPU[Formula: see text]: 0.452 s. These results affirm the adaptability and robustness of the proposed method, even in the existence of HS noise. This method improves denoising accuracy and computational efficacy, making it a useful tool for improving the analysis of LS signals and assisting in medical diagnostics. This technique utilizes an electronic stethoscope, a common clinical device used by healthcare professionals for detecting lung disease.","PeriodicalId":8862,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139262088","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}

Its advantages compared to the use of multi-channel sEMG signals include faster computing, lower electrode costs, and easier usage. The proposed method is appropriate for certain applications where time is very important but accuracy can be slightly compromised. The study recorded sEMG signals from 20 healthy volunteers, 10 males and 10 females, aged 22-52 years. The recorded sEMG signals were used in testing the proposed optimization method for grasping force estimation. It was found that the proposed method for optimizing the number of nodes, gain, and factor values would make the force estimation more efficient. The results show that the optimum number of nodes, gain, and factor values is 4, 0.05, and 1.0045, respectively. The resulting root mean square error and correlation coefficient values in force estimation from the ELM optimization method were 2.5642 and 0.9287, respectively, when the computing time was only 0.0038 s. These results show the feasibility of the proposed method for estimating force using only two-channel sEMG signals. As a result, real-time implementation, such as force estimation in robotic hand control for rehabilitation using sEMG signals, can be achieved efficiently.","PeriodicalId":8862,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering: Applications, Basis and Communications","volume":" 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135191802","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}

Over a million neonatal deaths occurred in 2015 as a result of preterm delivery, which is the prime cause for most deaths among children under the age of five. Although preterm birth has no hereditary link, only 10% of preterm deliveries in high-income settings result in deaths, compared to a mortality rate of up to 90% in low-income nations. When preterm cases are discovered, in addition to enhanced care provided at home for the expecting mother, the growing foetus may also benefit from medication, hospitalization for the duration of the pregnancy, or both. Low-income countries also struggle with a lack of access to a comprehensive healthcare system, which makes it difficult to proactively detect premature births. Machine learning techniques have a great potential to improve this situation by providing an intelligent framework for the detection of critical situations and consequently alerting the individual in cases of anomalies. This will require further follow-up with medical specialists. In this work, we investigate the application of deep learning and machine learning techniques for the analysis of electrohysterogram (EHG) data, which are uterine electrical impulses used to detect preterm deliveries. The TPEHG dataset is used to train a variety of machine learning classifiers, such as Support Vector Machines, Logistic Regression, and Decision Trees, as well as Deep Neural Networks like Convolutional Neural Networks and LSTMs. Additionally, we use plurality voting to build an ensemble of various neural networks and binary classifiers that are trained to classify EHG signals.
