Background: To evaluate artifacts in macular ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thickness measurement in eyes with retinal pathology using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT).
Methods: Retrospective analysis of color-coded maps, infrared images and 128 horizontal B-scans (acquired in the macular ganglion cell inner plexiform layer scans), using the Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA). The study population included 105 eyes with various macular conditions compared to 30 eyes of 30 age-matched healthy volunteers. The overall frequency of image artifacts and the relative frequency of artifacts were stratified by macular disease.
Results: Scan errors and artifacts were found in 55.1% of the 13,440 B-scans in eyes with macular pathology and 26.8% of the 3840 scans in normal eyes. Segmentation errors were the most common scan error in both groups, with more common involvement of both segmentation borders in diseased eyes and anterior segmentation border in normal eyes.
Conclusion: Segmentation errors and artifacts in SD OCT GCA are common in conditions involving the macula. These findings should be considered when assessing macular GCIPL thickness and careful assessment of scans is suggested.

Unlabelled: A weight-bearing lateral radiograph (WBLR) of the foot is a gold standard for diagnosing adult-acquired flatfoot deformity. However, it is difficult to measure the major axis of bones in WBLR without using auxiliary lines. Herein, we develop semantic segmentation with a deep learning model (DLm) on the WBLR of the foot for enhanced diagnosis of pes planus and pes cavus.

Background: Motion complexity is necessary for adapting to external changes, but little is known about trunk motion complexity during seated perturbation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). We aimed to investigate changes following SCI in trunk segmental motion complexity across different perturbation directions and how they affect postural control ability in individuals with SCI.
Methods: A total of 17 individuals with SCI and 18 healthy controls participated in challenging sagittal-seated perturbations with hand protection.

Deep learning-based medical image analysis has shown strong potential in disease categorization, segmentation, detection, and even prediction. However, in high-stakes and complex domains like healthcare, the opaque nature of these models makes it challenging to trust predictions, particularly in uncertain cases. This sort of uncertainty can be crucial in medical image analysis; diabetic retinopathy is an example where even slight errors without an indication of confidence can have adverse impacts.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and deadly forms of cancer worldwide, necessitating accurate and early detection to improve treatment outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on manual examination of pathological images, which can be time-consuming and prone to human error. This study presents an advanced approach for colorectal cancer detection using a Random Hinge Exponential Distribution coupled Attention Network (RHED-CANet) on pathological images.

Schizophrenia detection involves identifying the schizophrenia by analyzing specific patterns in Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, which reflect brain activity associated with symptoms, like hallucinations and cognitive impairments. Existing models face challenges due to the complex and variable nature of EEG data, which may struggle to accurately capture critical temporal dependencies and relevant features. Traditional approaches often lack adaptability, limiting their ability to differentiate schizophrenia patterns from other brain activities.
