Intelligent tuberculosis activity assessment system based on an ensemble of neural networks.

This article proposes a novel approach to assess the degree of activity of pulmonary tuberculosis by active tuberculoma foci. It includes the development of a new method for processing lung CT images using an ensemble of deep convolutional neural networks using such special algorithms: an optimized algorithm for preliminary segmentation and selection of informative scans, a new algorithm for refining segmented masks to improve the final accuracy, an efficient fuzzy inference system for more weighted activity assessment. The approach also includes the use of medical classification of disease activity based on densitometric measures of tuberculomas.

[Calculation of the strain-deformation condition of the spinal motor segment during loading].

A mathematical model is proposed to analyze the spinal strain-deformation condition resulting from axial and lateral g-loads generated by changes in the gravity field and/or pilot's maneuvering high-performance aircraft. The solution algorithm takes into account changes in the intervertebral disk pressure and the fibrous ring shape at the time of close-to-critical g values. Calculation of the spinal strain-deformation condition was implemented by the instrumentality of computer system SPLEN (KOMMEK ltd.

[Principles of bone tissue structures interaction with full removable dentures fixed on intraosseous implantates modelling].

Math modelling "removable dentures-implantate-bone" with size and density of bone tissue as variables was created. It allowed to study biomechanical bases of mandibular bone tissue structures interaction with full removable dentures of different constructions and fixed on intraosseous implantates. Analysis of the received data showed that in the majority of cases it was expedient to recommend 3 bearing (abutments) system of denture making.

[Optimal reconstruction of destructed teeth by pin constructions].

327 patients with dentures supported by 318 pulpless teeth reinforced by pin constructions were under observation. Main types of complications after pin use were identified. By math simulation the system "covering construction-artificial stump-root pin-root of the tooth" was studied for teeth 11, 13, 15, 16, 41, 43, 45, 46 in two projections--vestibulo-oral and mesio-distal.

[Experimental substantiation of parameters and strength characteristics of new endodontic-endoosseous implant construction].

Postoperative tooth stump is not able to endure usual functional loads adequately that leads to enhanced resorption of bone tissues surrounding root and loss of the tooth. Based on math computer simulation of mode of deformation of biomechanical model "metal-ceramic construction--endodontic-endoosseous implant (EEI)--stump of operated tooth--bone tissue of the jaw" new domestic EEI parameters were elaborated which improved greatly biomechanical properties of tooth with operated roots. Strength characteristics of new EEI were studied.

[Mathematical simulation and estimation of stress deformed status of a maxillodental segment after tooth depulpation].

Mathematical simulation, estimation, and evaluation of stress-deformed status of bone tissue under the roots of functionally loaded mandibular abutment teeth after their depulpation were carried out. The resultant mathematical model, realized in the SPLEN-K system, is the key stage in the development and subsequent clinical application of automated diagnosis and consultation complex for patients with dentition defects.

[Comparative analysis of results of mathematical simulation of stressed deformed status of pin dentures of different design].

A computer study of 99 types of mathematical models of teeth armed with stump pin insertions widely used in dentistry (group 1--anchor pins and group 2--cast pin insertions suggested by the authors). Tooth models differed by shape, size, and properties of the design material. The shape and parameters of stump pin insertion were proven to be more significant than the properties of design material.

[A hypothetical model of the biomechanical interaction of the teeth and the abutment tissues of the jaws during masticatory loading of different values].

Biomechanical model "tooth-jaw" in considered. This biomechanical model takes into account local nonhomogeneous mechanical constructions tooth-jaw, its special geometry, physical properties of firm tissues of tooth, periodontium and jaw. Using mathematical methods, determination of supporting jaw tissues depending by computer tomograms was grounded.

[The mathematical modelling and computation of the stressed-deformed state of metal-ceramic dentures].

The SPLEN-K (INZOMA) computing system, based on the mathematical model of a heterogeneous elastic body with linear plastic reinforcement helps estimate the design of coated dentures with due consideration for the individual features of the jaws and teeth, articulation, and occlusion. The open module type of this system permits its modifications and improvements, allows introduction of individual changes in the planned denture design, helps rapidly estimate the changes in the strained-deformed state and assess the correctness of the result from the computed data. The reliability of estimations was assessed in special tests.
