Adverse Pregnancy

Adverse pregnancy outcomes can bring enormous losses to both families and the society. Thus, pregnancy outcome prediction stays a crucial research topic as it may help reducing birth defect and improving the quality of population. However, recent advances in adverse pregnancy outcome detection are driven by data collected after mothers having been pregnant. In this situation, if a bad pregnancy outcome is diagnosed, the parents will suffer both physically and emotionally. In this paper, we develop a deep learning algorithm which is able to detect and classify adverse pregnancy outcomes before parents getting pregnant. We train a multi-layer neural network by using a dataset of 75542 couples’ multidimension pre-pregnancy health data. Our model outperforms some of algorithms in accuracy, recall and F1 score.

Abstract During the times of pandemics, faster diagnosis plays a key role in the response efforts to contain the disease as well as reducing its spread. Computer-aided detection would save time and increase the quality of diagnosis in comparison with manual human diagnosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI) through deep learning is considered as a reliable method to design such systems. In this research paper, an AI based diagnosis approach has been suggested to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed system employs a deep learning algorithm on chest x-ray images to detect the infected subjects. An enhanced Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture has been designed with 22 layers which is then trained over a chest x-ray dataset. More after, a classification component has been introduced to classify the x-ray images into two categories (Covid-19 and not Covid-19) of infection. The system has been evaluated through a series of observations and experimentation. The experimental results have shown a promising performance in terms of accuracy. The system has diagnosed Covid-19 with accuracy of 95.7% and normal subjects with accuracy of 93.1 while it showed 96.7 accuracy on Pneumonia.

Abstract Objective The outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has caused more than 26 million cases of Corona virus disease (COVID-19) in the world so far. To control the spread of the disease, screening large numbers of suspected cases for appropriate quarantine and treatment are a priority. Pathogenic laboratory testing is typically the gold standard, but it bears the burden of significant false negativity, adding to the urgent need of alternative diagnostic methods to combat the disease. Based on COVID-19 radiographic changes in CT images, this study hypothesized that artificial intelligence methods might be able to extract specific graphical features of COVID-19 and provide a clinical diagnosis ahead of the pathogenic test, thus saving critical time for disease control. Methods We collected 1065 CT images of pathogen-confirmed COVID-19 cases along with those previously diagnosed with typical viral pneumonia. We modified the inception transfer-learning model to establish the algorithm, followed by internal and external validation. Results The internal validation achieved a total accuracy of 89.5% with a specificity of 0.88 and sensitivity of 0.87. The external testing dataset showed a total accuracy of 79.3% with a specificity of 0.83 and sensitivity of 0.67. In addition, in 54 COVID-19 images, the first two nucleic acid test results were negative, and 46 were predicted as COVID-19 positive by the algorithm, with an accuracy of 85.2%. Conclusion These results demonstrate the proof-of-principle for using artificial intelligence to extract radiological features for timely and accurate COVID-19 diagnosis. Key Points • The study evaluated the diagnostic performance of a deep learning algorithm using CT images to screen for COVID-19 during the influenza season. • As a screening method, our model achieved a relatively high sensitivity on internal and external CT image datasets. • The model was used to distinguish between COVID-19 and other typical viral pneumonia, both of which have quite similar radiologic characteristics.

AbstractA novel deep-learning algorithm for artificial neural networks (ANNs), completely different from the back-propagation method, was developed in a previous study. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using the algorithm for the detection of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) and the classification of its subtypes, without employing the convolutional neural network (CNN). For the detection of ICH with the summation of all the computed tomography (CT) images for each case, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.859, and the sensitivity and the specificity were 78.0% and 80.0%, respectively. Regarding ICH localisation, CT images were divided into 10 subdivisions based on the intracranial height. With the subdivision of 41–50%, the best diagnostic performance for detecting ICH was obtained with AUC of 0.903, the sensitivity of 82.5%, and the specificity of 84.1%. For the classification of the ICH to subtypes, the accuracy rate for subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) was considerably excellent at 91.7%. This study revealed that our approach can greatly reduce the ICH diagnosis time in an actual emergency situation with a fairly good diagnostic performance.

In this study, deep learning algorithm-based energy/spectral computed tomography (CT) for the spinal metastasis from lung cancer was used. A dilated convolutional U-Net model (DC-U-Net model) was first proposed, which was used to segment the energy/spectral CT image of patients with the spinal metastasis from lung cancer. Subsequently, energy/spectral CT images under different energy levels were collected for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) comparison. It was found the learning rate of the model decreased exponentially as the number of training increased, with the lung contour segmented out of the image. Under 40–65 keV, the CT value of bone metastasis from lung cancer decreased with increasing energy, as with the average rank sum test result. The SNR and CNR values were the highest under 60 keV. The detection rate of the deep learning algorithm below 60 keV was 81.41%, and that of professional doctors was 77.56%. The detection rate of the deep learning algorithm below 140 keV was 66.03%, and that of professional doctors was 64.74%. In conclusion, the DC-U-Net model demonstrates better segmentation effects versus the convolutional neutral networ k (CNN), with the lung contour segmented. Further, a higher energy level leads to worse segmentation effects on the energy/spectral CT image.
