Background: Migraines and tension-type headaches (TTH) are primary headaches that can be screened with the Headache Screening Questionnaire (HSQ). However, the HSQ scoring algorithms rely on manual calculation, which is laborious and carries a risk of human error.
Objective: To develop an automated tool to calculate the output of the HSQ scoring algorithm and to determine the agreement between the automated and manual calculation.
Design: A cross-sectional design was used.
Methods: The automated tool was developed as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that was tested with all possible answers for the HSQ. An experienced researcher had access to answers to the HSQ from 163 people with headaches and manually applied the migraine and TTH algorithms to obtain the final scores and classifications. After that, the same answers were uploaded into the spreadsheet and scored by the automated algorithm. The agreement between manual and automated scoring was calculated for the total score using Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC), Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), and Limits of Agreement. The agreement between the classification obtained by the automated tool and the classification obtained by manual calculation for migraine and TTH was calculated using weighted Kappas (k-values).
Results: The total score showed excellent agreement for migraine (ICC = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.96-0.98, SEM = 0.36) and good agreement for TTH (ICC = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.82-0.90, SEM = 0.55). The classification demonstrated excellent agreement for migraine (k-value = 0.93, 95% CI = 0.89-0.97) and for TTH (k-value = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.70-0.86).
Conclusion: Implementation of the automated tool in clinical practice is suggested when using the HSQ to screen patients with primary headaches.

Objectives: Computer-assisted planning (CAP) allows faster SEEG planning and improves grey matter sampling, orthogonal drilling angles to the skull, reduces risk scores and minimises intracerebral electrode length. Incorporating prior SEEG trajectories enhances CAP planning, refining output with centre-specific practices. This study significantly expands on the previous work, compares priors libraries between two centres, and describes differences between SEEG in adults and children in these centres.

Physicians could improve the efficiency of the healthcare system if a reliable resource were available to aid them in better understanding, selecting, and interpreting the diagnostic laboratory tests. It has been well established and widely recognized that (a) laboratory testing provides 70-85% of the objective data that physicians use in diagnosis and treatment of their patients, (b) orders for laboratory tests in the U.S.

Efficient agricultural management often relies on farmers' experiential knowledge and demands considerable labor, particularly in regions with challenging terrains. To reduce these burdens, the adoption of smart technologies has garnered increasing attention. This study proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model as a decision-support tool for smart irrigation in orchard systems, focusing on persimmon cultivation in mountainous regions.

Several legal acts mandate that management agencies regularly assess biological populations. For species with distinct markings, these assessments can be conducted noninvasively via capture-recapture and photographic identification (photo-ID), which involves processing considerable quantities of photographic data. To ease this burden, agencies increasingly rely on automated identification (ID) algorithms.
