Background: The placental pathological changes in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) starts early in pregnancy, the deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) can identify these changes before its clinical manifestation.
Objective: To compare the placental quantitative ultrasound image texture of women with HDP to those with the normal outcome.
Methods: The cases were enrolled in the first trimester of pregnancy, good quality images of the placenta were taken serially in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy. The women were followed till delivery, those with normal outcomes were controls, and those with HDP were cases. The images were processed and classified using validated deep learning tools.
Results: Total of 429 cases were fully followed till delivery, 58 of them had HDP (13.5%). In the first trimester, there was a significant difference in the placental length ( = .033), uterine artery PI ( = .019), biomarkers PAPP-A ( = .001) PlGF ( = .013) and placental image texture ( = .001) between the cases and controls. In the second trimester the uterine artery PI, serum PAPP-A ( = .010) and PlGF ( = .005) levels were significantly low among women who developed hypertension later on pregnancy. The image texture disparity between the two groups was highly significant ( < .001). The model "resnext 101_32x8d" had Cohen kappa score of 0.413 (moderate) and the accuracy score of 0.710 (good). In the first trimester the best sensitivity and specificity was observed for abnormal placental image texture (70.6% and 76.6%, respectively) followed by PlGF (64% and 50%, respectively), in the second trimester the abnormal image texture had the highest sensitivity and specificity (60.4% and 73.3%, respectively) followed by uterine artery PI (58.6% and 54.7%, respectively). Similarly in the third trimester, uterine artery PI had sensitivity and specificity of 60.3% and specificity of 50.7%, whereas the abnormal image texture had sensitivity and specificity of 83.5%.
Conclusion: Ultrasound placental analysis using artificial intelligence (UPAAI) is a promising technique, would open avenues for more research in this field.

Hyperspectral images are rich in spectral and spatial information, providing a detailed and comprehensive description of objects, which makes hyperspectral image analysis technology essential in intelligent agriculture. With various corn seed varieties exhibiting significant internal structural differences, accurate classification is crucial for planting, monitoring, and consumption. However, due to the large volume and complex features of hyperspectral corn image data, existing methods often fall short in feature extraction and utilization, leading to low classification accuracy.

Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas) is the most abundant cephalopod in the fishing industry, and its high nutritional and organoleptic properties make it a go-to food product for consumers. Therefore, developing new processing techniques seems imperative to minimize quality deterioration and provide products with appropriate characteristics. The study aimed to determine the effect of high-pressure impregnation (HPI) pretreatment on hot air-drying kinetics and the quality of Humboldt squid slices.

The applicability of a deep learning model for the virtual staining of plant cell structures using bright-field microscopy was investigated. The training dataset consisted of microscopy images of tobacco BY-2 cells with the plasma membrane stained with the fluorescent dye PlasMem Bright Green and the cell nucleus labeled with Histone-red fluorescent protein. The trained models successfully detected the expansion of cell nuclei upon aphidicolin treatment and a decrease in the cell aspect ratio upon propyzamide treatment, demonstrating its utility in cell morphometry.

Temporal echocardiography image registration is important for cardiac motion estimation, myocardial strain assessments, and stroke volume quantifications. Deep learning image registration (DLIR) is a promising way to achieve consistent and accurate registration results with low computational time. DLIR seeks the image deformation that enables the moving image to be warped to match the fixed image.

Objectives: This study explored the clinical utility of CT radiomics-driven machine learning as a predictive marker for chemotherapy response in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) patients.
Methods: We included 150 CRLM patients who underwent first-line doublet chemotherapy, dividing them into a training cohort (n=112) and a test cohort (n=38). We manually delineated three-dimensional tumor volumes, selecting the largest liver metastasis for measurement, using pretreatment portal-phase CT images and extracted 107 radiomics features.
