Diagnostic imaging in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis poses difficulties due to the relatively rare incidence of this pathology and its usually inconclusive clinical and radiological symptoms. The preliminary examination is usually performed using computed tomography, whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides better visualisation of the lesion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging angiography enable the characterisation of the blood flow in the pathologically affected vessels in more detail. Familiarity with the anatomic variations of the venous system and with the advantages and limitations of computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging enables faster diagnosis of the pathology. This is significant for treatment, which, in many cases, can be efficient only if introduced at a sufficiently early stage.

This study aimed to investigate alterations in a multilayer network combining structural and functional layers in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) compared with healthy controls. In all, 38 ESKD patients and 43 healthy participants were prospectively enrolled. They exhibited normal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without any structural lesions.

Vertebral collapse (VC) following osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) often requires aggressive treatment, necessitating an accurate prediction for early intervention. This study aimed to develop a predictive model leveraging deep neural networks to predict VC progression after OVCF using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical data. Among 245 enrolled patients with acute OVCF, data from 200 patients were used for the development dataset, and data from 45 patients were used for the test dataset.

Addressing the issues of a single-feature input channel structure, scarcity of training fault data, and insufficient feature learning capabilities in noisy environments for intelligent diagnostic models of mechanical equipment, we propose a method based on a one-dimensional and two-dimensional dual-channel feature information fusion convolutional neural network (1D_2DIFCNN). By constructing a one-dimensional and two-dimensiona dual-channel feature information fusion convolutional network and introducing a Convolutional Block Attention Mechanism, we utilize Random Overlapping Sampling Technique to process raw vibration signals. The model takes as inputs both one-dimensional data and two-dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform images.
