Background: Predicting morphological changes to anatomical structures from 3D shapes such as blood vessels or appearance of the face is a growing interest to clinicians. Machine learning (ML) has had great success driving predictions in 2D, however, methods suitable for 3D shapes are unclear and the use cases unknown.

Objective And Methods: This systematic review aims to identify the clinical implementation of 3D shape prediction and ML workflows. Ovid-MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science were searched until 28th March 2022.

Results: 13,754 articles were identified, with 12 studies meeting final inclusion criteria. These studies involved prediction of the face, head, aorta, forearm, and breast, with most aiming to visualize shape changes after surgical interventions. ML algorithms identified were regressions (67%), artificial neural networks (25%), and principal component analysis (8%). Meta-analysis was not feasible due to the heterogeneity of the outcomes.

Conclusion: 3D shape prediction is a nascent but growing area of research in medicine. This review revealed the feasibility of predicting 3D shapes using ML clinically, which could play an important role for clinician-patient visualization and communication. However, all studies were early phase and there were inconsistent language and reporting. Future work could develop guidelines for publication and promote open sharing of source code.

Developing high-precision models of the nuclear force and propagating the associated uncertainties in quantum many-body calculations of nuclei and nuclear matter remain key challenges for ab initio nuclear theory. In this Letter, we demonstrate that generative machine learning models can construct novel instances of the nucleon-nucleon interaction when trained on existing potentials from the literature. In particular, we train the generative model on nucleon-nucleon potentials derived at second and third order in chiral effective field theory and at three different choices of the resolution scale.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in hospitalized older patients, associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Major adverse kidney events within 30 days (MAKE30), a composite of death, new renal replacement therapy, or persistent renal dysfunction, has been recommended as a patient-centered endpoint for clinical trials involving AKI.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based model to predict MAKE30 in hospitalized older patients with AKI.

Purpose: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated promise in the treatment of various cancers. Single-drug ICI therapy (immuno-oncology [IO] monotherapy) that targets PD-L1 is the standard of care in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with PD-L1 expression ≥50%. We sought to find out if a machine learning (ML) algorithm can perform better as a predictive biomarker than PD-L1 alone.

Addressing the global challenge of ensuring access to safe drinking water, especially in developing countries, demands cost-effective, eco-friendly, and readily available technologies. The persistence, toxicity, and bioaccumulation potential of organic pollutants arising from various human activities pose substantial hurdles. While high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) is a widely utilized technique for identifying pollutants in water, the multitude of structures for a single elemental composition complicates structural identification.

Object detection in motion management scenarios based on deep learning.

In athletes' competitions and daily training, in order to further strengthen the athletes' sports level, it is usually necessary to analyze the athletes' sports actions at a specific moment, in which it is especially important to quickly and accurately identify the categories and positions of the athletes, sports equipment, field boundaries and other targets in the sports scene. However, the existing detection methods failed to achieve better detection results, and the analysis found that the reasons for this phenomenon mainly lie in the loss of temporal information, multi-targeting, target overlap, and coupling of regression and classification tasks, which makes it more difficult for these network models to adapt to the detection task in this scenario. Based on this, we propose for the first time a supervised object detection method for scenarios in the field of motion management.
