Postural Changes

SummaryBackground: Mouth breathing is a chronic syndrome that may bring about postural changes. Finding characteristic patterns of changes occurring in the complex musculoskeletal system of mouth-breathing children has been a challenge. Learning vector quantization (LVQ) is an artificial neural network model that can be applied for this purpose.Objectives: The aim of the present study was to apply LVQ to determine the characteristic postural profiles shown by mouth-breathing children, in order to further understand abnormal posture among mouth breathers.Methods: Postural training data on 52 children (30 mouth breathers and 22 nose breathers) and postural validation data on 32 children (22 mouth breathers and 10 nose breathers) were used. The performance of LVQ and other classification models was compared in relation to self-organizing maps, back-propagation applied to multilayer perceptrons, Bayesian networks, naive Bayes, J48 decision trees, k*, and k-nearest-neighbor classifiers. Classifier accuracy was assessed by means of leave-one-out cross-validation, area under ROC curve (AUC), and inter-rater agreement (Kappa statistics).Results: By using the LVQ model, five postural profiles for mouth-breathing children could be determined. LVQ showed satisfactory results for mouth-breathing and nose-breathing classification: sensitivity and specificity rates of 0.90 and 0.95, respectively, when using the training dataset, and 0.95 and 0.90, respectively, when using the validation dataset.Conclusions: The five postural profiles for mouth-breathing children suggested by LVQ were incorporated into application software for classifying the severity of mouth breathers’ abnormal posture.

Abstract Background Correctly identifying views acquired in a 2D echocardiographic examination is paramount to post-processing and quantification steps often performed as part of most clinical workflows. In many exams, particularly in stress echocardiography, microbubble contrast is used which greatly affects the appearance of the cardiac views. Here we present a bespoke, fully automated convolutional neural network (CNN) which identifies apical 2, 3, and 4 chamber, and short axis (SAX) views acquired with and without contrast. The CNN was tested in a completely independent, external dataset with the data acquired in a different country than that used to train the neural network. Methods Training data comprised of 2D echocardiograms was taken from 1014 subjects from a prospective multisite, multi-vendor, UK trial with the number of frames in each view greater than 17,500. Prior to view classification model training, images were processed using standard techniques to ensure homogenous and normalised image inputs to the training pipeline. A bespoke CNN was built using the minimum number of convolutional layers required with batch normalisation, and including dropout for reducing overfitting. Before processing, the data was split into 90% for model training (211,958 frames), and 10% used as a validation dataset (23,946 frames). Image frames from different subjects were separated out entirely amongst the training and validation datasets. Further, a separate trial dataset of 240 studies acquired in the USA was used as an independent test dataset (39,401 frames). Results Figure 1 shows the confusion matrices for both validation data (left) and independent test data (right), with an overall accuracy of 96% and 95% for the validation and test datasets respectively. The accuracy for the non-contrast cardiac views of >99% exceeds that seen in other works. The combined datasets included images acquired across ultrasound manufacturers and models from 12 clinical sites. Conclusion We have developed a CNN capable of automatically accurately identifying all relevant cardiac views used in “real world” echo exams, including views acquired with contrast. Use of the CNN in a routine clinical workflow could improve efficiency of quantification steps performed after image acquisition. This was tested on an independent dataset acquired in a different country to that used to train the model and was found to perform similarly thus indicating the generalisability of the model.

Disease of the soybean crop is one of the obstacles to increase soybean production in Indonesia. Some of these diseases usually are found in the leaves and resulted to the crop become unhealthy. This study aims to identify disease on soybean leaf through leaves image by applying the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) algorithm. The identification begins with preprocessing using modified Otsu method to get part of the diseases on the leaves with a certain threshold value. The next process is to identify the type of disease using LVQ. This process uses the minimum value, the maximum value and the average value of the red, green and blue color of the image. The testing conducted in this study is to identify two diseases called Peronospora manshurica (Downy Mildew) and phakopsora pachyrhizi (Karat). The result of testing by using 60 training data and the value of all recommendations parameters obtained the highest accuracy of identification is 95% %, but the more stable accuracy is 90%. This result shows that the method perform quite well identification of two mentioned disease.

There are many smartphones with various price sold in market. The price of smartphone is affected by some components such as weight, internal storage, memory (RAM), rear camera, front camera and brands. There are two methods for classifying price class of smartphone in market such as Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) and Backpropagation (BP). From classifying price class of smartphone in market using LVQ and BP, there are the differences on the both of them. LVQ classifies price range of smartphone by euclidean distance of weight and data on its iteration. BP classifies price range of smartphone by gradient descent of target and output on its iteration. In multi output classification, one object may have multi output. Based on simulation results, BP gives the better accuracy and error rate in training data and testing data than LVQ.

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye deficiency that affects retina as a result of the patient having diabetes mellitus caused by high sugar levels, which may eventually lead to macular edema. The objective of this study is to design and compare several deep learning models that detect severity of diabetic retinopathy, determine risk of leading to macular edema, and segment different types of disease patterns using retina images. Indian Diabetic Retinopathy Image Dataset (IDRiD) dataset was used for disease grading and segmentation. Since images of the dataset have different brightness and contrast, we employed three techniques for generating processed images from the original images, which include brightness, color and, contrast (BCC) enhancing, color jitters (CJ), and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE). After image preporcessing, we used pre-trained ResNet50, VGG16, and VGG19 models on these different preprocessed images both for determining the severity of the retinopathy and also the chances of macular edema. UNet was also applied to segment different types of diseases. To train and test these models, image dataset was divided into training, testing, and validation data at 70%, 20%, and 10% ratios, respectively. During model training, data augmentation method was also applied to increase the number of training images. Study results show that for detecting the severity of retinopathy and macular edema, ResNet50 showed the best accuracy using BCC and original images with an accuracy of 60.2% and 82.5%, respectively, on validation dataset. In segmenting different types of diseases, UNet yielded the highest testing accuracy of 65.22% and 91.09% for microaneurysms and hard exudates using BCC images, 84.83% for optic disc using CJ images, 59.35% and 89.69% for hemorrhages and soft exudates using CLAHE images, respectively. Thus, image preprocessing can play an important role to improve efficacy and performance of deep learning models.

Abstract. A logistic regression model is implemented for predicting the occurrence of intense/super-intense geomagnetic storms. A binary dependent variable, indicating the occurrence of intense/super-intense geomagnetic storms, is regressed against a series of independent model variables that define a number of solar and interplanetary properties of geo-effective CMEs. The model parameters (regression coefficients) are estimated from a training data set which was extracted from a dataset of 64 geo-effective CMEs observed during 1996-2002. The trained model is validated by predicting the occurrence of geomagnetic storms from a validation dataset, also extracted from the same data set of 64 geo-effective CMEs, recorded during 1996-2002, but not used for training the model. The model predicts 78% of the geomagnetic storms from the validation data set. In addition, the model predicts 85% of the geomagnetic storms from the training data set. These results indicate that logistic regression models can be effectively used for predicting the occurrence of intense geomagnetic storms from a set of solar and interplanetary factors.

This research was conducted to design a system that is able to classify cervical cells into two classes, namely normal cells or abnormal cells. We use digital images of single cervical as research materials and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) as classification method.  Prior to classification, the nucleus areas of single cervical cell images were segmented and features were extracted. The features used in this study are 7 kinds of which consist of 2 types of feature, namely shape features and statistical features. The shape features used are area, perimeter, shape factor, and roundness of the nucleus, while the statistical features of the grayscale image histogram used are mean, standard deviation, and entropy. LVQ optimal parameter values based on the highest accuracy of training data, are learning rate 0.1 and learning rate reduction 0.5. The highest accuracy of system obtained from 45 testing data is 93.33%.
