Abstract Background Common subtypes seen in Chinese patients with membranous nephropathy (MN) include idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and hepatitis B virus-related membranous nephropathy (HBV-MN). However, the morphologic differences are not visible under the light microscope in certain renal biopsy tissues. Methods We propose here a deep learning-based framework for processing hyperspectral images of renal biopsy tissue to define the difference between IMN and HBV-MN based on the component of their immune complex deposition. Results The proposed framework can achieve an overall accuracy of 95.04% in classification, which also leads to better performance than support vector machine (SVM)-based algorithms. Conclusion IMN and HBV-MN can be correctly separated via the deep learning framework using hyperspectral imagery. Our results suggest the potential of the deep learning algorithm as a new method to aid in the diagnosis of MN.

Automatic detection and recognition of traffic signs from images is an important topic in many applications. At first, we segmented the images using a classification algorithm to delineate the areas where the signs are more likely to be found. In this regard, shadows, objects having similar colours, and extreme illumination changes can significantly affect the segmentation results. We propose a new shape-based algorithm to improve the accuracy of the segmentation. The algorithm works by incorporating the sign geometry to filter out the wrong pixels from the classification results. We performed several tests to compare the performance of our algorithm against those obtained by popular techniques such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Means, and K-Nearest Neighbours. In these tests, to overcome the unwanted illumination effects, the images are transformed into colour spaces Hue, Saturation, and Intensity, YUV, normalized red green blue, and Gaussian. Among the traditional techniques used in this study, the best results were obtained with SVM applied to the images transformed into the Gaussian colour space. The comparison results also suggested that by adding the geometric constraints proposed in this study, the quality of sign image segmentation is improved by 10%–25%. We also comparted the SVM classifier enhanced by incorporating the geometry of signs with a U-Shaped deep learning algorithm. Results suggested the performance of both techniques is very close. Perhaps the deep learning results could be improved if a more comprehensive data set is provided.

Abstract: Over the last few years, there have been many significant improvements in the field of AI, machine learning, deep learning are being used in various industries and research. In order to train the deep learning models learning of parameters plays a major role, here the reduction of loss incurred during the training process is the main objective. In a supervised mode of learning, a model is given the data samples and their respective outcomes. When a model generates an output, it compares it with the desired output and then takes the difference of generated and desired outputs and then attempts to bring the generated output close to the desired output. This is achieved through optimization algorithms. Though many kinds of clinical methods have been employed to detect whether patients have heart disease or not by number of features from patients. but it’s still a challenging task due to the multitude of data elements involved. The motive of our project is to save human resources in medical centers and improve accuracy of diagnosis. In our project we used an RMS prop optimizer. The purpose is to decide how many hidden layers need to be selected and how many neurons need to be selected in each and every hidden layer by looking at the dataset and to give the application of deep learning to the health care sector so that we can minimize the costs of treatment and help in proactive actions. We want to show that we can increase the accuracy of the project by taking stability along with accuracy into consideration.

Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy is a disease which cause of blindness due to diabetes. For this reason, it is very important to detect diabetic retinopathy in early stages. A deep learning-based approach is used for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy from retinal images. The proposed approach consists of two steps. In the first stage, pre treatments were performed to remove retinal images from different data sets and standardize them to size. In the second stage, classification is done by the help of Convolutional Neural Network using deep learning algorithm and 98.5% success is achieved. The difference of this technique from similar studies is that instead of creating the feature set manually as in traditional methods, the deep learning network automatically constructs and trained by using CPU and GPU in a very short time. Keywords: CNN, Early detection, Artificial intelligence, Deep learning, Machine-learning, Fundus Image, Optical coherence tomography, Ophthalmology.

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs), as an important molecular process within cells, are of pivotal importance in the biochemical function of cells. Although high-throughput experimental techniques have matured, enabling researchers to detect large amounts of PPIs, it has unavoidable disadvantages, such as having a high cost and being time consuming. Recent studies have demonstrated that PPIs can be efficiently detected by computational methods. Therefore, in this study, we propose a novel computational method to predict PPIs using only protein sequence information. This method was developed based on a deep learning algorithm-stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) combined with a Legendre moment (LM) feature extraction technique. Finally, a probabilistic classification vector machine (PCVM) classifier is used to implement PPI prediction. The proposed method was performed on human, unbalanced-human, H. pylori, and S. cerevisiae datasets with 5-fold cross-validation and yielded very high predictive accuracies of 98.58%, 97.71%, 93.76%, and 96.55%, respectively. To further evaluate the performance of our method, we compare it with the support vector machine- (SVM-) based method. The experimental results indicate that the PCVM-based method is obviously preferable to the SVM-based method. Our results have proven that the proposed method is practical, effective, and robust.

Abstract Background Lung auscultation is fundamental to the clinical diagnosis of respiratory disease. However, auscultation is a subjective practice and interpretations vary widely between users. The digitization of auscultation acquisition and interpretation is a particularly promising strategy for diagnosing and monitoring infectious diseases such as Coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) where automated analyses could help decentralise care and better inform decision-making in telemedicine. This protocol describes the standardised collection of lung auscultations in COVID-19 triage sites and a deep learning approach to diagnostic and prognostic modelling for future incorporation into an intelligent autonomous stethoscope benchmarked against human expert interpretation. Methods A total of 1000 consecutive, patients aged ≥ 16 years and meeting COVID-19 testing criteria will be recruited at screening sites and amongst inpatients of the internal medicine department at the Geneva University Hospitals, starting from October 2020. COVID-19 is diagnosed by RT-PCR on a nasopharyngeal swab and COVID-positive patients are followed up until outcome (i.e., discharge, hospitalisation, intubation and/or death). At inclusion, demographic and clinical data are collected, such as age, sex, medical history, and signs and symptoms of the current episode. Additionally, lung auscultation will be recorded with a digital stethoscope at 6 thoracic sites in each patient. A deep learning algorithm (DeepBreath) using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Support Vector Machine classifier will be trained on these audio recordings to derive an automated prediction of diagnostic (COVID positive vs negative) and risk stratification categories (mild to severe). The performance of this model will be compared to a human prediction baseline on a random subset of lung sounds, where blinded physicians are asked to classify the audios into the same categories. Discussion This approach has broad potential to standardise the evaluation of lung auscultation in COVID-19 at various levels of healthcare, especially in the context of decentralised triage and monitoring.
