Machine learning algorithms for FPGA Implementation in biomedical engineering applications: A review.

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are integrated circuits that can be configured by the user after manufacturing, making them suitable for customized hardware prototypes, a feature not available in general-purpose processors in Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). In this paper, we review the vast Machine Learning (ML) algorithms implemented on FPGAs to increase performance and capabilities in healthcare technology over 2001-2023. In particular, we focus on real-time ML algorithms targeted to FPGAs and hybrid System-on-a-chip (SoC) FPGA architectures for biomedical applications.

Analysis of factors affecting discharge with the personal consent of hospitalized patients: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Aims: Discharge by personal satisfaction is a condition in which the patient leaves the hospital before completing the care period against medical advice. Thus, this study aims to identify and analyze the reasons for discharge with the personal satisfaction of hospitalized patients.

Methods: The study was descriptive-analytical being performed in 2021.

MAP Kinase Regulation of the Pheromone Pathway.

We investigated the relationships of the Cek1 and Cek2 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases and the putative MAP kinase phosphatase Cpp1 in the mating process of Mutants of the gene are hyperresponsive to pheromone, generating large halos, high levels of projections, and an increase in pheromone-responsive gene expression. Mating-type-homozygous opaque cells that lack both kinases are sterile, consistent with previous observations, although several lines of evidence show that the two kinases do not simply provide redundant functions in the mating process. Loss of reduces mating significantly, to about 0.

Pulmonary and extra-pulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis.

Background: Sarcoidosis is a systemic multi-organ granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the presence of granuloma in various organs. The clinical features of sarcoidosis are heterogeneous but pulmonary involvement is cardinal manifestations. The aim of this study was to determine radiologic, clinical and laboratory findings of patients with sarcoidosis.

Computational investigation of ⁹⁹Mo production yield via proton irradiation of natU and ²³²Th targets.

Accelerators have some advantages such as safety and cheaper operating and decommissioning costs for (99)Mo production. Yield theoretical calculation using computational codes can powerfully estimate usefulness of a proposed nuclear reaction for a routine manufacturing. In this work, Monte Carlo-based code was used to compute (99)Mo yield in (232)Th and (nat)U proton-irradiated targets, as well as maximum applicable beam current.

HPV typing in women with cervical precancerous and cancerous lesions in northwestern Iran.

Background/aims: The role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the etiology of cervical cancer is now well established. This investigation was designed to study the prevalence of the four most common high-risk HPVs in the archival tissues with precancerous and cancerous lesions from patients from northwestern Iran.

Methods: 133 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens were tested for HPV DNA by using GP5+/6+-based general PCR and two type-specific PCRs.
