AbstractThis study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence model that can detect mesiodens on panoramic radiographs of various dentition groups. Panoramic radiographs of 612 patients were used for training. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on YOLOv3 for detecting mesiodens was developed. The model performance according to three dentition groups (primary, mixed, and permanent dentition) was evaluated, both internally (130 images) and externally (118 images), using a multi-center dataset. To investigate the effect of image preprocessing, contrast-limited histogram equalization (CLAHE) was applied to the original images. The accuracy of the internal test dataset was 96.2% and that of the external test dataset was 89.8% in the original images. For the primary, mixed, and permanent dentition, the accuracy of the internal test dataset was 96.7%, 97.5%, and 93.3%, respectively, and the accuracy of the external test dataset was 86.7%, 95.3%, and 86.7%, respectively. The CLAHE images yielded less accurate results than the original images in both test datasets. The proposed model showed good performance in the internal and external test datasets and had the potential for clinical use to detect mesiodens on panoramic radiographs of all dentition types. The CLAHE preprocessing had a negligible effect on model performance.

A digital signature is a checksum which depends on the time period during which it was produced. Human palm biometric is one of the fastest, accurate, reliable and secure biometric techniques for identification and verification because it provides automatic authentication of an individual based on unique features in palm structure. In this paper, an efficient digital signature model for the document is proposed by using human palm. Human palm can give unique features which can be used in generating a secure digital signature. Therefore, this model consists of two sides: the embedding side and extracting side. The embedding side includes (1) image preprocessing stage:(color to grayscale and histogram equalization). (2) feature extraction stage:(GLCM (Haralick) algorithm). (3) Generating digital signature stage:(Elliptic Curve and Cubic Spline function with MD5 algorithm). While the extracting side contains extracting signature stage and matching stage. The accuracy of the generated digital signature by the proposed model is 100%, however false acceptance rate (FAR) is 0%, false reject rate (FRR) is 0%, and equal error rate (ERR) is 0%.

It is evident that hyperdontia is more common in the permanent dentition than in the primary. There is a considerable difference between males and females in the prevalence of these teeth in permanent dentition; hyperdontia is twice as common in males as in females. However, this approximation varies in terms of location, other associating syndromes that may be present, and the ethnicity of the individual. In terms of ethnicity, it can be seen that hyperdontia is in fact less common in Caucasian than in Asian populations. There is evidence to show that an individual is more likely to have hyperdontia if other members of their family also have the condition. Hence the present study was planned for evaluation of occurrence of hyperdontia in non-syndromic  population from Bihar Region. The present study was planned in Public Health Dentistry, Patna Dental College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar. Total 195 patients referred to Department of Dentistry were evaluated in the present study. Panoramic radiographs and clinical records of patients above the age of 18 years and without any syndromic features were selected for the study.  All the radiographs were examined for the presence of supernumerary teeth, their location, morphology, and number. Morphologically, teeth were classified as conical, tuberculate, supplemental, and odontoma. Early diagnosis of dental anomalies can prevent some esthetic, orthodontic, and periodontal problems, and knowledge of the prevalence and distribution of the anomalies may help clinicians to the detection of these anomalies at early stages. Our study evaluated the prevalence of selected dental anomalies; future studies should investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies of all types. Keywords: Hyperdontia, non-syndromic, panoramic radiograph, supernumerary teeth, etc.

BACKGROUND An artificial intelligence-based algorithm has shown a powerful ability for coding the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) in discharge notes. However, its performance still requires improvement compared with human experts. The major disadvantage of the previous algorithm is its lack of understanding medical terminologies. OBJECTIVE We propose some methods based on human-learning process and conduct a series of experiments to validate their improvements. METHODS We compared two data sources for training the word-embedding model: English Wikipedia and PubMed journal abstracts. Moreover, the fixed, changeable, and double-channel embedding tables were used to test their performance. Some additional tricks were also applied to improve accuracy. We used these methods to identify the three-chapter-level ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes in a set of discharge notes. Subsequently, 94,483-labeled discharge notes from June 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017 were used from the Tri-Service General Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. To evaluate performance, 24,762 discharge notes from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, from the same hospital were used. Moreover, 74,324 additional discharge notes collected from other seven hospitals were also tested. The F-measure is the major global measure of effectiveness. RESULTS In understanding medical terminologies, the PubMed-embedding model (Pearson correlation = 0.60/0.57) shows a better performance compared with the Wikipedia-embedding model (Pearson correlation = 0.35/0.31). In the accuracy of ICD-10-CM coding, the changeable model both used the PubMed- and Wikipedia-embedding model has the highest testing mean F-measure (0.7311 and 0.6639 in Tri-Service General Hospital and other seven hospitals, respectively). Moreover, a proposed method called a hybrid sampling method, an augmentation trick to avoid algorithms identifying negative terms, was found to additionally improve the model performance. CONCLUSIONS The proposed model architecture and training method is named as ICD10Net, which is the first expert level model practically applied to daily work. This model can also be applied in unstructured information extraction from free-text medical writing. We have developed a web app to demonstrate our work (https://linchin.ndmctsgh.edu.tw/app/ICD10/).

In the pharmaceutical field, early detection of lung nodules is indispensable for increasing patient survival. We can enhance the quality of the medical images by intensifying the radiation dose. High radiation dose provokes cancer, which forces experts to use limited radiation. Using abrupt radiation generates noise in CT scans. We propose an optimal Convolutional Neural Network model in which Gaussian noise is removed for better classification and increased training accuracy. Experimental demonstration on the LUNA16 dataset of size 160 GB shows that our proposed method exhibit superior results. Classification accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, Precision, Recall, F1 measurement, and area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the model performance are taken as evaluation metrics. We conducted a performance comparison of our proposed model on numerous platforms, like Apache Spark, GPU, and CPU, to depreciate the training time without compromising the accuracy percentage. Our results show that Apache Spark, integrated with a deep learning framework, is suitable for parallel training computation with high accuracy.

The advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud services have enabled the availability of smart e-healthcare services in a distant and distributed environment. However, this has also raised major privacy and efficiency concerns that need to be addressed. While sharing clinical data across the cloud that often consists of sensitive patient-related information, privacy is a major challenge. Adequate protection of patients’ privacy helps to increase public trust in medical research. Additionally, DL-based models are complex, and in a cloud-based approach, efficient data processing in such models is complicated. To address these challenges, we propose an efficient and secure cancer diagnostic framework for histopathological image classification by utilizing both differential privacy and secure multi-party computation. For efficient computation, instead of performing the whole operation on the cloud, we decouple the layers into two modules: one for feature extraction using the VGGNet module at the user side and the remaining layers for private prediction over the cloud. The efficacy of the framework is validated on two datasets composed of histopathological images of the canine mammary tumor and human breast cancer. The application of differential privacy preserving to the proposed model makes the model secure and capable of preserving the privacy of sensitive data from any adversary, without significantly compromising the model accuracy. Extensive experiments show that the proposed model efficiently achieves the trade-off between privacy and model performance.

Two of the most critical properties for multiphase flow in a reservoir are relative permeability (Kr) and capillary pressure (Pc). To determine these parameters, careful interpretation of coreflooding and centrifuge experiments is necessary. In this work, a machine learning (ML) technique was incorporated to assist in the determination of these parameters quickly and synchronously for steady-state drainage coreflooding experiments. A state-of-the-art framework was developed in which a large database of Kr and Pc curves was generated based on existing mathematical models. This database was used to perform thousands of coreflood simulation runs representing oil-water drainage steady-state experiments. The results obtained from the corefloods including pressure drop and water saturation profile, along with other conventional core analysis data, were fed as features into the ML model. The entire data set was split into 70% for training, 15% for validation, and the remaining 15% for the blind testing of the model. The 70% of the data set for training teaches the model to capture fluid flow behavior inside the core, and then 15% of the data set was used to validate the trained model and to optimize the hyperparameters of the ML algorithm. The remaining 15% of the data set was used for testing the model and assessing the model performance scores. In addition, K-fold split technique was used to split the 15% testing data set to provide an unbiased estimate of the final model performance. The trained/tested model was thereby used to estimate Kr and Pc curves based on available experimental results. The values of the coefficient of determination (R2) were used to assess the accuracy and efficiency of the developed model. The respective crossplots indicate that the model is capable of making accurate predictions with an error percentage of less than 2% on history matching experimental data. This implies that the artificial-intelligence- (AI-) based model is capable of determining Kr and Pc curves. The present work could be an alternative approach to existing methods for interpreting Kr and Pc curves. In addition, the ML model can be adapted to produce results that include multiple options for Kr and Pc curves from which the best solution can be determined using engineering judgment. This is unlike solutions from some of the existing commercial codes, which usually provide only a single solution. The model currently focuses on the prediction of Kr and Pc curves for drainage steady-state experiments; however, the work can be extended to capture the imbibition cycle as well.
