Autoregressive models in image processing are linear prediction models that split an image into a predicted (i.e. filtered) image and a prediction error image, which extracts data on the image edges. Edge separation is a crucial feature of an autoregressive model. Data on the edges can be processed in different ways and then added to the filtered image. Another basic feature of our method is spatially varying modelling. In this short article, we propose an improved autoregressive model that preserves image sharpness around the edges of the image and focus on the reduction of Poisson noise, which degrades nuclear medicine images and presents a special challenge in medical imaging.

Purpose: We used knowledge discovery from radiomics of T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (T1C) for assessing relapse risk in patients with high-grade meningiomas (HGMs).

Methods: 279 features were extracted from each ROI including 9 histogram features, 220 Gy-level co-occurrence matrix features, 20 Gy-level run-length matrix features, 5 auto-regressive model features, 20 wavelets transform features and 5 absolute gradient statistics features. The datasets were randomly divided into two groups, the training set (~ 70%) and the test set (~ 30%).

Background Breast cancer represents a significant public health concern in India, accounting for 28% of all cancer diagnoses and imposing a substantial economic burden. This study introduces a novel approach to forecasting the number of breast cancer cases (based on prevalence rates) and estimating the associated economic impact in India using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model. Methods Data on the prevalence of breast cancer in India from 2000 to 2021 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Second Affiliated Hospital, Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, The Key Laboratory of Intelligent Preventive Medicine of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China. Electronic address:

Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, global health systems faced unprecedented challenges, as well as in maternal and neonatal health, thus this study aims to clarify the impacts of COVID-19 on maternal and neonatal disorders (MNDs), regional variations, and the role of economic support.

Methods: We have developed a counterfactual model integrating Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average and Long Short-Term Memory models to forecast the burden of MNDs from 2020 To et al., 2021, which was compared with the actual burden to quantify the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on MNDs.

Objectives: Breast cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. This study aims to analyze the trends in breast cancer incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across different age groups from 1990 to 2021, and to project the mortality rate for the next decade.

Methods: Global breast cancer data were analyzed, focusing on three distinct age groups: 15-49 years, 50-69 years, and 70+ years.

Human brucellosis remains a significant public health issue in the Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. To assist local Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in promptly formulate effective prevention and control measures, this study leveraged time-series data on brucellosis cases from February 2010 to September 2023 in Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture. Three distinct predictive modeling techniques-Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks-were employed for long-term forecasting.
