Introduction: Complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) are of great medical and social importance, as they cause severe disability and premature death of patients with diabetes mellitus. Bone remodeling disorders occurring in diabetes increase the risk of fractures and move the problem of diabetic osteopathy beyond the narrow specialty, making it the subject of extensive scientific research [1-3]. However, osteopathy remains an underestimated complication and is not considered in most diabetes guidelines. The fact that diabetic osteopathy is often asymptomatic leads to the fact that diabetic patients turn their attention to this pathology late and turn to a specialist, as a rule, already having a high degree of progression of this complication. One of the important issues is the timely detection and prediction of bone changes in diabetes mellitus. The introduction of artificial intelligence technologies (AIT) into clinical practice is one of the main trends in world medicine [4]. AIT and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) can fundamentally change the criteria for diagnosis and prognosis, which will contribute to the development of new therapeutic approaches, improve the efficiency of medical care and reduce costs [5]. The prospects for using ANN can potentially provide almost limitless technical possibilities. Considering the possibilities of using these technologies in clinical practice, we came to the conclusion that the development and implementation of forecasting systems based on the construction of a model of an intelligent decision support system based on the apparatus of artificial neural networks is able to analyze clinical and laboratory indicators of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in order to predict the values of qualitative and quantitative indicators assessing the state of bone tissue.

Vision sense is achieved using cells called rods (luminosity) and cones (color). Color perception is required when interacting with educational materials, industrial environments, traffic signals, among others, but colorblind people have difficulties perceiving colors. There are different tests for colorblindness like Ishihara plates test, which have numbers with colors that are confused with colorblindness. Advances in computer sciences produced digital assistants for colorblindness, but there are possibilities to improve them using artificial intelligence because its techniques have exhibited great results when classifying parameters. This chapter proposes the use of artificial neural networks, an artificial intelligence technique, for learning the colors that colorblind people cannot distinguish well by using as input data the Ishihara plates and recoloring the image by increasing its brightness. Results are tested with a real colorblind people who successfully pass the Ishihara test.

In recent years the trends were towards modeling of machining using artificial intelligence. ANN is considered one of the important methods of artificial intelligence in the modeling of nonlinear problems like machining processes. Artificial neural networks show good capability in prediction and optimization of machining processes compared with traditional methods. In view of the importance of artificial neural networks in machining, this paper is an attempt to review the previous studies and investigations on the application of artificial neural networks in the milling process for the last decade.

In this study, Artificial Intelligence was used to analyze a dataset containing the cortical thickness from 1,100 healthy individuals. This dataset had the cortical thickness from 31 regions in the left hemisphere of the brain as well as from 31 regions in the right hemisphere. Then, 62 artificial neural networks were trained and validated to estimate the number of neurons in the hidden layer. These neural networks were used to create a model for the cortical thickness through age for each region in the brain. Using the artificial neural networks and kernels with seven points, numerical differentiation was used to compute the derivative of the cortical thickness with respect to age. The derivative was computed to estimate the cortical thickness speed. Finally, color bands were created for each region in the brain to identify a positive derivative, that is, a part of life with an increase in cortical thickness. Likewise, the color bands were used to identify a negative derivative, that is, a lifetime period with a cortical thickness reduction. Regions of the brain with similar derivatives were organized and displayed in clusters. Computer simulations showed that some regions exhibit abrupt changes in cortical thickness at specific periods of life. The simulations also illustrated that some regions in the left hemisphere do not follow the pattern of the same region in the right hemisphere. Finally, it was concluded that each region in the brain must be dynamically modeled. One advantage of using artificial neural networks is that they can learn and model non-linear and complex relationships. Also, artificial neural networks are immune to noise in the samples and can handle unseen data. That is, the models based on artificial neural networks can predict the behavior of samples that were not used for training. Furthermore, several studies have shown that artificial neural networks are capable of deriving information from imprecise data. Because of these advantages, the results obtained in this study by the artificial neural networks provide valuable information to analyze and model the cortical thickness.
