Automated Lung Sound Classification Using a Hybrid CNN-LSTM Network and Focal Loss Function

Respiratory diseases constitute one of the leading causes of death worldwide and directly affect the patient’s quality of life. Early diagnosis and patient monitoring, which conventionally include lung auscultation, are essential for the ef...

Integrating multi-source geoscience data with RF-weighted conditional variational autoencoders (CVAE) for porphyry copper prospectivity mapping: an application to the Ardestan district, Central Iran

Abstract Porphyry Cu deposits in the Urmia–Dokhtar magmatic belt constitute important exploration targets, yet the heterogeneous and multi-scale nature of geological, geochemical, and remote sensing data introduces substantial uncertainty i...

A deep learning-driven pipeline for differentiating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from cardiac amyloidosis using 2D multi-view echocardiography

Abstract Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA) are two cardiac conditions that can advance to heart failure if left untreated, which present considerable diagnostic challenges due to their overlapping echocardiograp...

Rapid identification of bloodstream infection pathogens and drug resistance using Raman spectroscopy enhanced by convolutional neural networks

Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are a critical medical concern, characterized by elevated morbidity, mortality, extended hospital stays, substantial healthcare costs, and diagnostic challenges. The clinical outcomes for patients with BSI can ...

Automated segmentation of brain metastases in T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MR images pre and post stereotactic radiosurgery

Abstract Background and purpose Accurate segmentation of brain metastases on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is tedious and time-consuming for radiologists that could be optimized with deep learning (DL). Previous studies assessed several ...

The Microbiome Composition of a Man's Penis Predicts Incident Bacterial Vaginosis in His Female Sex Partner With High Accuracy

Background: We determined the predictive accuracy of penile bacteria for incident BV in female sex partners. In this prospective cohort, we enrolled Kenyan men aged 18–35 and their female sex partners aged 16 and older. We assessed BV at ba...

Integrative multiomics analysis of platelet-related genes unveils molecular subtypes and prognostic signatures in acute myeloid leukemia

Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains challenging due to molecular heterogeneity and limited prognostic models integrating tumor microenvironment dynamics. While thrombocytopenia correlates with poor outcomes, the roles of platelet-...

Deep Learning-Based Approaches for Brain Tumour Segmentation and Classification

Brain tumours are caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the brain. This occurs mainly due to genetic changes or exposure to X-ray radiation. When the tumours are detected early, they can be removed via surgery. The tumour can be removed...

Performance Analysis and Optimization of Terahertz Metamaterial Absorbers Using Machine Learning-Based Inverse Modeling

We present a tunable broadband terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorber with a structurally simple, single-layered vanadium dioxide (VO2) elliptical ring resonator. This design achieves a wide, near-perfect absorption band (3.5–5 THz) w...
