Objective: Identify infants with abnormal suckling behavior from simple non-nutritive suckling devices.Background: While it is well known breastfeeding is beneficial to the health of both mothers and infants, breastfeeding ceases in 75 percent of mother-child dyads by 6 months. The current standard of care lacks objective measurements to screen infant suckling abnormalities within the first few days of life, a critical time to establish milk supply and successful breastfeeding practices.Materials and Methods: A non-nutritive suckling vacuum measurement system, previously developed by the authors, is used to gather data from 91 healthy full-term infants under thirty days old. Non-nutritive suckling was recorded for a duration of sixty seconds. We establish normative data for the mean suck vacuum, maximum suck vacuum, suckling frequency, burst duration, sucks per burst, and vacuum signal shape. We then apply computational methods (Mahalanobis distance, KNN) to detect anomalies in the data to identify infants with abnormal suckling. We finally provide case studies of healthy newborn infants and infants diagnosed with ankyloglossia.Results: In a series of case evaluations, we demonstrate the ability to detect abnormal suckling behavior using statistical analysis and machine learning. We evaluate cases of ankyloglossia to determine how oral dysfunction and surgical interventions affect non-nutritive suckling measurements.Conclusions: Statistical analysis (Mahalanobis Distance) and machine learning [K nearest neighbor (KNN)] can be viable approaches to rapidly interpret infant suckling measurements. Particularly in practices using the digital suck assessment with a gloved finger, it can provide a more objective, early stage screening method to identify abnormal infant suckling vacuum. This approach for identifying those at risk for breastfeeding complications is crucial to complement complex emerging clinical evaluation technology.Clinical Impact: By analyzing non-nutritive suckling using computational methods, we demonstrate the ability to detect abnormal and normal behavior in infant suckling that can inform breastfeeding intervention pathways in clinic.Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: The work serves to shed light on the lack of consensus for determining appropriate intervention pathways for infant oral dysfunction. We demonstrate using statistical analysis and machine learning that normal and abnormal infant suckling can be identified and used in determining if surgical intervention is a necessary solution to resolve infant feeding difficulties.
目的: 通过简单的非营养性吸吮装置识别吸吮行为异常的婴儿:通过简单的非营养性吸吮装置识别吸吮行为异常的婴儿:背景:众所周知,母乳喂养有益于母亲和婴儿的健康,但 75% 的母婴家庭在婴儿 6 个月时就停止了母乳喂养。目前的护理标准缺乏客观的测量方法来筛查婴儿出生后几天内的吸吮异常,而这正是建立奶水供应和成功母乳喂养的关键时期:作者之前开发的非营养性吸吮真空测量系统用于收集 91 名出生不到 30 天的健康足月婴儿的数据。非营养性吸吮的记录时间为六十秒。我们建立了平均吸吮真空度、最大吸吮真空度、吸吮频率、爆发持续时间、每次爆发吸吮次数和真空信号形状的标准数据。然后,我们采用计算方法(马哈罗诺比距离、KNN)检测数据中的异常情况,以识别吸吮异常的婴儿。最后,我们提供了健康新生儿和被诊断为无吮吸症婴儿的案例研究:在一系列病例评估中,我们展示了利用统计分析和机器学习检测异常吸吮行为的能力。我们对口颌畸形病例进行了评估,以确定口腔功能障碍和手术干预对非营养性吸吮测量的影响:统计分析(Mahalanobis Distance)和机器学习[K nearest neighbor (KNN)]是快速解释婴儿吸吮测量结果的可行方法。特别是在使用戴手套的手指进行数字吸吮评估的实践中,它可以提供一种更客观的早期筛查方法,以识别异常的婴儿真空吸吮。这种识别母乳喂养并发症高危人群的方法对于补充复杂的新兴临床评估技术至关重要:通过使用计算方法分析非营养性吸吮,我们展示了检测婴儿吸吮中异常和正常行为的能力,这可以为临床中的母乳喂养干预路径提供依据:这项工作有助于阐明在确定婴儿口腔功能障碍的适当干预途径方面缺乏共识的问题。我们利用统计分析和机器学习证明,可以识别正常和异常的婴儿吸吮行为,并用于确定手术干预是否是解决婴儿喂养困难的必要方案。

Mechanical force exerted on cancer cells by their microenvironment have been reported to drive cells toward invasive phenotypes by altering cells’ motility, proliferation, and apoptosis. These mechanical forces include compressive, tensile, hydrostatic, and shear forces. The importance of forces is then hypothesized to be an alteration of cancer cells’ and their microenvironment’s biophysical properties as the indicator of a tumor’s malignancy state. Our objective is to investigate and quantify the correlation between a tumor’s malignancy state and forces experienced by the cancer cells and components of the microenvironment. In this study, we have developed a multicomponent, three-dimensional model of tumor tissue consisting of a cancer cell surrounded by fibroblasts and extracellular matrix (ECM). Our results on three different organs including breast, kidney, and pancreas show that: A) the stresses within tumor tissue are impacted by the organ specific ECM’s biophysical properties, B) more invasive cancer cells experience higher stresses, C) in pancreas which has a softer ECM (Young modulus of 1.0 kPa) and stiffer cancer cells (Young modulus of 2.4 kPa and 1.7 kPa) than breast and kidney, cancer cells experienced significantly higher stresses, D) cancer cells in contact with ECM experienced higher stresses compared to cells surrounded by fibroblasts but the area of tumor stroma experiencing high stresses has a maximum length of $40 ~mu text{m}$ when the cancer cell is surrounded by fibroblasts and $12 ~mu text{m}$ for when the cancer cell is in vicinity of ECM. This study serves as an important first step in understanding of how the stresses experienced by cancer cells, fibroblasts, and ECM are associated with malignancy states of cancer cells in different organs. The quantification of forces exerted on cancer cells by different organ-specific ECM and at different stages of malignancy will help, first to develop theranostic strategies, second to predict accurately which tumors will become highly malignant, and third to establish accurate criteria controlling the progression of cancer cells malignancy. Furthermore, our in silico model of tumor tissue can yield critical, useful information for guiding ex vivo or in vitro experiments, narrowing down variables to be investigated, understanding what factors could be impacting cancer treatments or even biomarkers to be looking for.
据报道,微环境对癌细胞施加的机械力会改变细胞的运动、增殖和凋亡,从而促使细胞形成侵袭性表型。这些机械力包括压缩力、拉伸力、静水压和剪切力。这些力的重要性被推测为改变癌细胞及其微环境的生物物理特性,是肿瘤恶性程度的指标。我们的目标是研究和量化肿瘤的恶性程度与癌细胞和微环境成分所受作用力之间的相关性。在这项研究中,我们建立了一个多成分三维肿瘤组织模型,该模型由被成纤维细胞和细胞外基质(ECM)包围的癌细胞组成。我们对包括乳腺、肾脏和胰腺在内的三种不同器官的研究结果表明A) 肿瘤组织内的应力受器官特定 ECM 生物物理特性的影响;B) 侵袭性更强的癌细胞会承受更高的应力;C) 与乳腺和肾脏相比,胰腺的 ECM 更软(杨氏模量为 1.0 kPa),癌细胞更硬(杨氏模量分别为 2.4 kPa 和 1.7 kPa)。D) 与被成纤维细胞包围的细胞相比,与 ECM 接触的癌细胞承受更高的应力,但当癌细胞被成纤维细胞包围时,承受高应力的肿瘤基质区域的最大长度为 40 ~mu text{m}$,而当癌细胞位于 ECM 附近时,最大长度为 12 ~mu text{m}$。这项研究为了解癌细胞、成纤维细胞和 ECM 所承受的应力如何与不同器官中癌细胞的恶性状态相关联迈出了重要的第一步。量化不同器官特异性 ECM 在不同恶性阶段对癌细胞施加的作用力将有助于:第一,开发治疗策略;第二,准确预测哪些肿瘤将高度恶性;第三,建立控制癌细胞恶性进展的准确标准。此外,我们的肿瘤组织硅学模型还能提供关键的有用信息,用于指导体外或体内实验,缩小需要研究的变量范围,了解哪些因素可能会影响癌症治疗,甚至是需要寻找的生物标志物。

Objective: Variable-view rigid scopes offer advantages compared to traditional angled laparoscopes for examining a diagnostic site. However, altering the scope’s view requires a high level of dexterity and understanding of spatial orientation. This requires an intuitive mechanism to allow an operator to easily understand the anatomical surroundings and smoothly adjust the scope’s focus during diagnosis. To address this challenge, the objective of this work is to develop a mechanized arm that assists in visualization using variable-view rigid scopes during diagnostic procedures.Methods: A system with a mechanized arm to maneuver a variable-view rigid scope (EndoCAMeleon - Karl Storz) was developed. A user study was conducted to assess the ability of the proposed mechanized arm for diagnosis in a preclinical navigation task and a simulated cystoscopy procedure.Results: The mechanized arm performed significantly better than direct maneuvering of the rigid scope. In the preclinical navigation task, it reduced the percentage of time the scope’s focus shifted outside a predefined track. Similarly, for simulated cystoscopy procedure, it reduced the duration and the perceived workload.Conclusion: The proposed mechanized arm enhances the operator’s ability to accurately maneuver a variable-view rigid scope and reduces the effort in performing diagnostic procedures.Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: The preclinical research introduces a mechanized arm to intuitively maneuver a variable-view rigid scope during diagnostic procedures, while minimizing the mental and physical workload to the operator.
目的:与传统的倾斜腹腔镜相比,可变视角刚性腹腔镜在检查诊断部位方面具有优势。然而,改变瞄准镜的视角需要高度的灵活性和对空间方位的理解。这就需要一种直观的机制,让操作员能够轻松了解周围的解剖环境,并在诊断过程中顺利调整瞄准镜的焦点。为了应对这一挑战,这项工作的目标是开发一种机械化手臂,在诊断过程中使用可变视角刚性显微镜辅助观察:方法:开发了一种带有机械臂的系统,用于操纵可变视角硬镜(EndoCAMeleon - Karl Storz)。结果:机械化手臂在临床前导航任务和模拟膀胱镜检查过程中的表现明显优于机械化手臂:结果:机械化手臂的表现明显优于直接操纵硬镜。在临床前导航任务中,它减少了瞄准镜焦点偏离预定轨道的时间百分比。同样,在模拟膀胱镜检查过程中,机械臂缩短了持续时间,减轻了感知工作量:结论:拟议的机械化手臂提高了操作员准确操纵可变视角刚性镜的能力,并减少了执行诊断程序的工作量:临床前研究引入了一种机械化手臂,可在诊断过程中直观地操纵可变视角硬镜,同时最大限度地减轻操作者的脑力和体力负担。

Osteoporosis is a prevalent chronic disease worldwide, particularly affecting the aging population. The gold standard diagnostic tool for osteoporosis is Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). However, the expensive cost of the DXA machine and the need for skilled professionals to operate it restrict its accessibility to the general public. This paper builds upon previous research and proposes a novel approach for rapidly screening bone density. The method involves utilizing near-infrared light to capture local body information within the human body. Deep learning techniques are employed to analyze the obtained data and extract meaningful insights related to bone density. Our initial prediction, utilizing multi-linear regression, demonstrated a strong correlation (r = 0.98, p-value = 0.003**) with the measured Bone Mineral Density (BMD) obtained from Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). This indicates a highly significant relationship between the predicted values and the actual BMD measurements. A deep learning-based algorithm is applied to analyze the underlying information further to predict bone density at the wrist, hip, and spine. The prediction of bone densities in the hip and spine holds significant importance due to their status as gold-standard sites for assessing an individual’s bone density. Our prediction rate had an error margin below 10% for the wrist and below 20% for the hip and spine bone density.
骨质疏松症是一种全球流行的慢性疾病,对老龄人口的影响尤为严重。骨质疏松症的金标准诊断工具是双能 X 射线吸收测定法(DXA)。然而,DXA 仪器价格昂贵,而且需要熟练的专业人员操作,这限制了普通大众对它的使用。本文在以往研究的基础上,提出了一种快速筛查骨密度的新方法。该方法利用近红外线捕捉人体局部信息。利用深度学习技术来分析获得的数据,并提取与骨密度相关的有意义的见解。我们利用多线性回归进行的初步预测显示,该预测与通过双能 X 射线吸收仪(DXA)测量的骨密度(BMD)之间存在很强的相关性(r = 0.98,p 值 = 0.003**)。这表明预测值与实际 BMD 测量值之间存在着非常显著的关系。应用基于深度学习的算法进一步分析基础信息,以预测手腕、髋部和脊柱的骨密度。由于髋部和脊柱是评估个人骨密度的黄金标准部位,因此预测这两个部位的骨密度具有重要意义。我们对腕部骨密度的预测误差率低于 10%,对髋部和脊柱骨密度的预测误差率低于 20%。

Background: CHIVID is a telemedicine solution developed under tight time constraints that assists Thai healthcare practitioners in monitoring non-severe COVID-19 patients in isolation programs during crises. It assesses patient health and notifies healthcare practitioners of high-risk scenarios through a chatbot. The system was designed to integrate with the famous Thai messaging app LINE, reducing development time and enhancing user-friendliness, and the system allowed patients to upload a pulse oximeter image automatically processed by the PACMAN function to extract oxygen saturation and heart rate values to reduce patient input errors. Methods: This article describes the proposed system and presents a mixed-methods study that evaluated the system’s performance by collecting survey responses from 70 healthcare practitioners and analyzing 14,817 patient records. Results: Approximately 71.4% of healthcare practitioners use the system more than twice daily, with the majority managing 1–10 patients, while 11.4% handle over 101 patients. The progress note is a function that healthcare practitioners most frequently use and are satisfied with. Regarding patient data, 58.9%(8,724/14,817) are male, and 49.7%(7,367/14,817) within the 18 to 34 age range. The average length of isolation was 7.6 days, and patients submitted progress notes twice daily on average. Notably, individuals aged 18 to 34 demonstrated the highest utilization rates for the PACMAN function. Furthermore, most patients, totaling over 95.52%(14,153/14,817), were discharged normally. Conclusion: The findings indicate that CHIVID could be one of the telemedicine solutions for hospitals with patient overflow and healthcare practitioners unfamiliar with telemedicine technology to improve patient care during a critical crisis. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement— CHIVID’s success arises from seamlessly integrating telemedicine into third-party application within a limited timeframe and effectively using clinical decision support systems to address challenges during the COVID-19 crisis.

Notably, individuals aged 18 to 34 demonstrated the highest utilization rates for the PACMAN function. Furthermore, most patients, totaling over 95.52%(14,153/14,817), were discharged normally. Conclusion: The findings indicate that CHIVID could be one of the telemedicine solutions for hospitals with patient overflow and healthcare practitioners unfamiliar with telemedicine technology to improve patient care during a critical crisis. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement— CHIVID’s success arises from seamlessly integrating telemedicine into third-party application within a limited timeframe and effectively using clinical decision support systems to address challenges during the COVID-19 crisis.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"390-400"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10472531","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140126520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acoustic features extracted from speech can help with the diagnosis of neurological diseases and monitoring of symptoms over time. Temporal segmentation of audio signals into individual words is an important pre-processing step needed prior to extracting acoustic features. Machine learning techniques could be used to automate speech segmentation via automatic speech recognition (ASR) and sequence to sequence alignment. While state-of-the-art ASR models achieve good performance on healthy speech, their performance significantly drops when evaluated on dysarthric speech. Fine-tuning ASR models on impaired speech can improve performance in dysarthric individuals, but it requires representative clinical data, which is difficult to collect and may raise privacy concerns. This study explores the feasibility of using two augmentation methods to increase ASR performance on dysarthric speech: 1) healthy individuals varying their speaking rate and loudness (as is often used in assessments of pathological speech); 2) synthetic speech with variations in speaking rate and accent (to ensure more diverse vocal representations and fairness). Experimental evaluations showed that fine-tuning a pre-trained ASR model with data from these two sources outperformed a model fine-tuned only on real clinical data and matched the performance of a model fine-tuned on the combination of real clinical data and synthetic speech. When evaluated on held-out acoustic data from 24 individuals with various neurological diseases, the best performing model achieved an average word error rate of 5.7% and a mean correct count accuracy of 94.4%. In segmenting the data into individual words, a mean intersection-over-union of 89.2% was obtained against manual parsing (ground truth). It can be concluded that emulated and synthetic augmentations can significantly reduce the need for real clinical data of dysarthric speech when fine-tuning ASR models and, in turn, for speech segmentation.
从语音中提取声学特征有助于诊断神经系统疾病和监测症状的变化。将音频信号按时间分割成单个单词是提取声学特征前所需的重要预处理步骤。机器学习技术可用于通过自动语音识别(ASR)和序列对序列配准自动进行语音分割。虽然最先进的 ASR 模型在健康语音上取得了良好的性能,但在评估听力障碍语音时,其性能却明显下降。在受损语音上对 ASR 模型进行微调可以提高发育障碍患者的性能,但这需要有代表性的临床数据,而这些数据很难收集,而且可能会引起隐私方面的担忧。本研究探讨了使用两种增强方法提高肢体运动障碍语音的 ASR 性能的可行性:1) 改变健康人的说话速度和响度(病理语音评估中常用的方法);2) 改变说话速度和口音的合成语音(以确保更多样化的声音表现和公平性)。实验评估结果表明,利用这两种来源的数据对预先训练好的 ASR 模型进行微调,其效果优于仅根据真实临床数据进行微调的模型,并且与根据真实临床数据和合成语音组合进行微调的模型效果相当。在对 24 名患有各种神经系统疾病的患者的语音数据进行评估时,表现最好的模型的平均单词错误率为 5.7%,平均正确计数准确率为 94.4%。在将数据分割成单个单词时,与人工解析(地面实况)相比,平均交叉-重合率达到 89.2%。可以得出这样的结论:在微调 ASR 模型时,仿真和合成增强可以大大减少对真实临床语音数据的需求,进而减少对语音分段的需求。

Objective: Blood circulation is an important indicator of wound healing. In this study, a tissue oxygen saturation detecting (TOSD) system that is based on multispectral imaging (MSI) is proposed to quantify the degree of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) in cutaneous tissues. Methods: A wound segmentation algorithm is used to segment automatically wound and skin areas, eliminating the need for manual labeling and applying adaptive tissue optics. Animal experiments were conducted on six mice in which they were observed seven times, once every two days. The TOSD system illuminated cutaneous tissues with two wavelengths of light - red ( $mathrm {lambda } = 660$ nm) and near-infrared ( $mathrm {lambda } = 880$ nm), and StO2 levels were calculated using images that were captured using a monochrome camera. The wound segmentation algorithm using ResNet34-based U-Net was integrated with computer vision techniques to improve its performance. Results: Animal experiments revealed that the wound segmentation algorithm achieved a Dice score of 93.49%. The StO2 levels that were determined using the TOSD system varied significantly among the phases of wound healing. Changes in StO2 levels were detected before laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) detected changes in blood flux. Moreover, statistical features that were extracted from the TOSD system and LSCI were utilized in principal component analysis (PCA) to visualize different wound healing phases. The average silhouette coefficients of the TOSD system with segmentation (ResNet34-based U-Net) and LSCI were 0.2890 and 0.0194, respectively. Conclusion: By detecting the StO2 levels of cutaneous tissues using the TOSD system with segmentation, the phases of wound healing were accurately distinguished. This method can support medical personnel in conducting precise wound assessments. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement—This study supports efforts in monitoring StO2 levels, wound segmentation, and wound healing phase classification to improve the efficiency and accuracy of preclinical research in the field.

Objective: Pulmonary cavity lesion is one of the commonly seen lesions in lung caused by a variety of malignant and non-malignant diseases. Diagnosis of a cavity lesion is commonly based on accurate recognition of the typical morphological characteristics. A deep learning-based model to automatically detect, segment, and quantify the region of cavity lesion on CT scans has potential in clinical diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment efficacy assessment. Methods: A weakly-supervised deep learning-based method named CSA2-ResNet was proposed to quantitatively characterize cavity lesions in this paper. The lung parenchyma was firstly segmented using a pretrained 2D segmentation model, and then the output with or without cavity lesions was fed into the developed deep neural network containing hybrid attention modules. Next, the visualized lesion was generated from the activation region of the classification network using gradient-weighted class activation mapping, and image processing was applied for post-processing to obtain the expected segmentation results of cavity lesions. Finally, the automatic characteristic measurement of cavity lesions (e.g., area and thickness) was developed and verified. Results: the proposed weakly-supervised segmentation method achieved an accuracy, precision, specificity, recall, and F1-score of 98.48%, 96.80%, 97.20%, 100%, and 98.36%, respectively. There is a significant improvement (P < 0.05) compared to other methods. Quantitative characterization of morphology also obtained good analysis effects. Conclusions: The proposed easily-trained and high-performance deep learning model provides a fast and effective way for the diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of pulmonary cavity lesions in clinic. Clinical and Translational Impact Statement: This model used artificial intelligence to achieve the detection and quantitative analysis of pulmonary cavity lesions in CT scans. The morphological features revealed in experiments can be utilized as potential indicators for diagnosis and dynamic monitoring of patients with cavity lesions
目的:肺空洞病变是肺部常见病变之一,由多种恶性和非恶性疾病引起。空洞病变的诊断通常基于对典型形态特征的准确识别。基于深度学习的模型可自动检测、分割和量化 CT 扫描中的空洞病变区域,在临床诊断、监测和疗效评估方面具有潜力。研究方法本文提出了一种基于弱监督深度学习的方法,名为 CSA2-ResNet,用于定量描述空洞病变。首先使用预训练的二维分割模型对肺实质进行分割,然后将有无空洞病变的输出结果输入所开发的包含混合注意力模块的深度神经网络。接着,利用梯度加权类激活映射从分类网络的激活区域生成可视化病灶,并进行图像后处理,以获得预期的空洞病灶分割结果。最后,开发并验证了空洞病变的自动特征测量(如面积和厚度)。结果:所提出的弱监督分割方法的准确度、精确度、特异性、召回率和 F1 分数分别达到了 98.48%、96.80%、97.20%、100% 和 98.36%。与其他方法相比,有了明显的提高(P < 0.05)。形态的定量表征也获得了良好的分析效果。结论所提出的易于训练的高性能深度学习模型为临床诊断和动态监测肺空洞病变提供了一种快速有效的方法。临床与转化影响声明:该模型利用人工智能实现了对CT扫描中肺部空洞病变的检测和定量分析。实验中揭示的形态特征可作为诊断和动态监测肺空洞病变患者的潜在指标。

Objective: Non-sustained supraventricular tachycardia (nsSVT) is associated with a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), and, therefore, detection of nsSVT can improve AF screening efficiency. However, the detection is challenged by the lower signal quality of ECGs recorded using handheld devices and the presence of ectopic beats which may mimic the rhythm characteristics of nsSVT.Methods: The present study introduces a new nsSVT detector for use in single-lead, 30-s ECGs, based on the assumption that beats in an nsSVT episode exhibits similar morphology, implying that episodes with beats of deviating morphology, either due to ectopic beats or noise/artifacts, are excluded. A support vector machine is used to classify successive 5-beat sequences in a sliding window with respect to similar morphology. Due to the lack of adequate training data, the classifier is trained using simulated ECGs with varying signal-to-noise ratio. In a subsequent step, a set of rhythm criteria is applied to similar beat sequences to ensure that episode duration and heart rate is acceptable.Results: The performance of the proposed detector is evaluated using the StrokeStop II database, resulting in sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of 84.6%, 99.4%, and 18.5%, respectively. Conclusion: The results show that a significant reduction in expert review burden (factor of 6) can be achieved using the proposed detector.Clinical and Translational Impact: The reduction in the expert review burden shows that nsSVT detection in AF screening can be made considerably more efficiently.
目的:非持续性室上性心动过速(nsSVT非持续性室上性心动过速(nsSVT)与罹患心房颤动(AF)的高风险相关,因此,检测 nsSVT 可以提高 AF 筛查的效率。然而,使用手持设备记录的心电图信号质量较低,异位搏动的存在可能会模仿 nsSVT 的节律特征,这给检测带来了挑战:本研究介绍了一种用于单导联 30 秒心电图的新型 nsSVT 检测器,该检测器基于以下假设:nsSVT 事件中的搏动表现出相似的形态,这意味着由于异位搏动或噪声/伪影导致的搏动形态偏差的事件将被排除在外。支持向量机用于对滑动窗口中的连续 5 次搏动序列进行形态相似性分类。由于缺乏足够的训练数据,分类器使用信噪比不同的模拟心电图进行训练。在随后的步骤中,一组节律标准被应用于相似的节拍序列,以确保发作持续时间和心率是可接受的:结果:使用 StrokeStop II 数据库对所提出的检测器的性能进行了评估,结果显示灵敏度、特异性和阳性预测值分别为 84.6%、99.4% 和 18.5%。结论结果表明,使用所提出的检测器可以显著减轻专家的审核负担(系数为 6):临床和转化影响:专家审核负担的减轻表明,房颤筛查中的 nsSVT 检测可以大大提高效率。

A Dual-Camera Eye-Tracking Platform for Rapid Real-Time Diagnosis of Acute Delirium: A Pilot Study 用于快速实时诊断急性谵妄的双摄像头眼动仪平台:一项试点研究

Objective: Delirium, an acute confusional state, affects 20-80% of patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), one in three medically hospitalized patients, and up to 50% of all patients who have had surgery. Its development is associated with short- and long-term morbidity, and increased risk of death. Yet, we lack any rapid, objective, and automated method to diagnose delirium. Here, we detail the prospective deployment of a novel dual-camera contextual eye-tracking platform. We then use the data from this platform to contemporaneously classify delirium.Results: We recruited 42 patients, resulting in 210 (114 with delirium, 96 without) recordings of hospitalized patients in ICU across two centers, as part of a prospective multi-center feasibility pilot study. All recordings made with our platform were usable for analysis. We divided the collected data into training and validation cohorts based on the data originating center. We trained two Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) models that can classify delirium using a pre-existing manual scoring system (Confusion Assessment Method in ICU (CAM-ICU)) as the training target. The first model uses eye movements only which achieves an Area Under the Receiver Operator Curve (AUROC) of 0.67 and a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.68. The second model uses the point of regard, the part of the scene the patient is looking at, and increases the AUROC to 0.76 and the mAP to 0.81. These models are the first to classify delirium using continuous non-invasive eye-tracking but will require further clinical prospective validation prior to use as a decision-support tool.Clinical impact: Eye-tracking is a biological signal that can be used to identify delirium in patients in ICU. The platform, alongside the trained neural networks, can automatically, objectively, and continuously classify delirium aiding in the early detection of the deteriorating patient.

目的:谵妄是一种急性精神错乱状态,影响着重症监护病房(ICU)20%-80% 的病人,每三名住院病人中就有一名谵妄患者,而在所有接受过手术的病人中,谵妄患者的比例高达 50%。它的发生与短期和长期发病率有关,并增加了死亡风险。然而,我们缺乏快速、客观和自动化的谵妄诊断方法。在此,我们详细介绍了新型双摄像头情境眼动追踪平台的前瞻性部署。然后,我们利用该平台的数据对谵妄进行实时分类:作为前瞻性多中心可行性试点研究的一部分,我们招募了 42 名患者,在两个中心对重症监护室的住院患者进行了 210 次(114 次有谵妄,96 次无谵妄)记录。使用我们的平台进行的所有录音均可用于分析。我们根据数据来源中心将收集到的数据分为训练组和验证组。我们训练了两个时序卷积网络(TCN)模型,这两个模型可以使用已有的人工评分系统(ICU 混乱评估方法(CAM-ICU))作为训练目标,对谵妄进行分类。第一个模型仅使用眼球运动,其受体运算曲线下面积 (AUROC) 为 0.67,平均精度 (mAP) 为 0.68。第二个模型使用视点,即患者正在注视的场景部分,将 AUROC 提高到 0.76,将 mAP 提高到 0.81。这些模型是首个利用连续无创眼动追踪技术对谵妄进行分类的模型,但在用作决策支持工具之前还需要进一步的临床前瞻性验证:临床影响:眼球追踪是一种生物信号,可用于识别重症监护病房患者的谵妄。该平台和训练有素的神经网络可自动、客观、持续地对谵妄进行分类,有助于及早发现病情恶化的病人。未来的工作旨在进行前瞻性评估和临床转化。
{"title":"A Dual-Camera Eye-Tracking Platform for Rapid Real-Time Diagnosis of Acute Delirium: A Pilot Study","authors":"Ahmed Al-Hindawi;Marcela Vizcaychipi;Yiannis Demiris","doi":"10.1109/JTEHM.2024.3397737","DOIUrl":"10.1109/JTEHM.2024.3397737","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: Delirium, an acute confusional state, affects 20-80% of patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), one in three medically hospitalized patients, and up to 50% of all patients who have had surgery. Its development is associated with short- and long-term morbidity, and increased risk of death. Yet, we lack any rapid, objective, and automated method to diagnose delirium. Here, we detail the prospective deployment of a novel dual-camera contextual eye-tracking platform. We then use the data from this platform to contemporaneously classify delirium.Results: We recruited 42 patients, resulting in 210 (114 with delirium, 96 without) recordings of hospitalized patients in ICU across two centers, as part of a prospective multi-center feasibility pilot study. All recordings made with our platform were usable for analysis. We divided the collected data into training and validation cohorts based on the data originating center. We trained two Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) models that can classify delirium using a pre-existing manual scoring system (Confusion Assessment Method in ICU (CAM-ICU)) as the training target. The first model uses eye movements only which achieves an Area Under the Receiver Operator Curve (AUROC) of 0.67 and a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.68. The second model uses the point of regard, the part of the scene the patient is looking at, and increases the AUROC to 0.76 and the mAP to 0.81. These models are the first to classify delirium using continuous non-invasive eye-tracking but will require further clinical prospective validation prior to use as a decision-support tool.Clinical impact: Eye-tracking is a biological signal that can be used to identify delirium in patients in ICU. The platform, alongside the trained neural networks, can automatically, objectively, and continuously classify delirium aiding in the early detection of the deteriorating patient. Future work is aimed at prospective evaluation and clinical translation.","PeriodicalId":54255,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine-Jtehm","volume":"12 ","pages":"488-498"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10521720","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
