Pulse detection during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remains challenging for both novel and expert rescuers because current methods are inaccurate and time-consuming. There is still a need to develop automatic methods for pulse detection, where the most challenging scenario is the discrimination between pulsed rhythms (PR, pulse) and pulseless electrical activity (PEA, no pulse). Thoracic impedance (TI) acquired through defibrillation pads has been proven useful for detecting pulse as it shows small fluctuations with every heart beat. In this study we analyse the use of deep learning techniques to detect pulse using only the TI signal. The proposed neural network, composed by convolutional and recurrent layers, outperformed state of the art methods, and achieved a balanced accuracy of 90% for segments as short as 3 s.

Background: miRNAs (microRNAs) are endogenous RNAs with lengths of 18 to 24 nucleotides and play critical roles in gene regulation and disease progression. Although traditional wet-lab experiments provide direct evidence for miRNA-disease associations, they are often time-consuming and complicated to analyze by current bioinformatics tools. In recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques are powerful tools to analyze large-scale biological data.

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is an emerging, non-invasive technique increasingly utilized for retinal vasculature imaging. Analysis of OCTA images can effectively diagnose retinal diseases, unfortunately, complex vascular structures within OCTA images possess significant challenges for automated segmentation. A novel, fully convolutional dense connected residual network is proposed to effectively segment the vascular regions within OCTA images.

In the intelligent harvesting of eggplant, the lack of in situ identification technology makes it challenging to determine the maturity of purple eggplant fruit. The length of the fruit-setting date can determine when the eggplant is ready to be harvested. This study uses deep learning techniques to predict the date of fruit maturity.

Background: Accurate estimation of recurrence risk for cervical cancer plays a pivot role in making individualized treatment plans. We aimed to develop and externally validate an end-to-end deep learning model for predicting recurrence risk in cervical cancer patients following surgery by using multiparametric MRI images.
Methods: The clinicopathologic data and multiparametric MRI images of 406 cervical cancer patients from three institutions were collected.
