The introduction of new technologies in the field of electronics has influenced the development of technical equipment over the last few years. The progressive miniaturization of integrated circuits makes possible an expansion of the spectrum of functions offered by this equipment. This also applies to medical technology. These more complex units call for new methods of fault detection and diagnosis. In addition to analytical redundancy, tools developed by the artificial intelligence research community, such as expert systems, are becoming more and more important for fault diagnosis. On the basis of a realized diagnosis expert system the possibilities as well as the limits of such system are discussed. Also, possible future developments of artificial intelligence, like machine learning, are considered.

Construction and initial validations of the major decision-making self-efficacy scale (MDMSES) for Chinese high school students.

Background: Major decision-making self-efficacy (MDMSE) is an important indicator of students' ability to make effective decisions in specialty selection. It has implications for students' personal growth and career counselling interventions. While the previous MDMSES has been widely used in the context of China's New College Entrance Examination reform, the increased choice of majors and advancement of career planning necessitate a new scale to assess high school students' MDMSE levels.

Introduction: Unsupervised feature learning methods inspired by natural language processing (NLP) models are capable of constructing patient-specific features from longitudinal Electronic Health Records (EHR).
Design: We applied document embedding algorithms to real-world paediatric intensive care (PICU) EHR data to extract patient-specific features from 1853 patients' PICU journeys using 647 unique lab tests and medication events. We evaluated the clinical utility of the patient features via a K-means clustering analysis.
Establishing a preoperative predictive model for gallbladder adenoma and cholesterol polyps based on machine learning: a multicentre retrospective study.

Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreas, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, NO.1677 Wutaishan Road, Qingdao, Shandong Province, 266555, China.
Background: With the rising diagnostic rate of gallbladder polypoid lesions (GPLs), differentiating benign cholesterol polyps from gallbladder adenomas with a higher preoperative malignancy risk is crucial. This study aimed to establish a preoperative prediction model capable of accurately distinguishing between gallbladder adenomas and cholesterol polyps using machine learning algorithms.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed the patients' clinical baseline data, serological indicators, and ultrasound imaging data.
Impacted lower third molar classification and difficulty index assessment: comparisons among dental students, general practitioners and deep learning model assistance.

Background: Assessing the difficulty of impacted lower third molar (ILTM) surgical extraction is crucial for predicting postoperative complications and estimating procedure duration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a convolutional neural network (CNN) in determining the angulation, position, classification and difficulty index (DI) of ILTM. Additionally, we compared these parameters and the time required for interpretation among deep learning (DL) models, sixth-year dental students (DSs), and general dental practitioners (GPs) with and without CNN assistance.
