Automatic whole heart segmentation plays an important role in the treatment and research of cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we propose an improved Deep Forest framework, named Multi-Resolution Deep Forest Framework (MRDFF), which accomplishes whole heart segmentation in two stages. We extract the heart region by binary classification in the first stage, thus avoiding the class imbalance problem caused by too much background. The results of the first stage are then subdivided in the second stage to obtain accurate cardiac substructures. In addition, we also propose hybrid feature fusion, multi-resolution fusion and multi-scale fusion to further improve the segmentation accuracy. Experiments on the public dataset MM-WHS show that our model can achieve comparable accuracy in about half the training time of neural network models.

Background: The impact of aortic arch (AA) morphology on the management of the procedural details and the clinical outcomes of the transfemoral artery (TF)-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been evaluated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the AA morphology of patients who had TF-TAVR using an artificial intelligence algorithm and then to evaluate its predictive value for clinical outcomes.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1480 consecutive patients undergoing TF-TAVR using a new-generation transcatheter heart valve at 12 institutes were included in this retrospective study.

Tissue regeneration after a wound occurs through three main overlapping and interrelated stages namely inflammatory, proliferative, and remodelling phases, respectively. The inflammatory phase is key for successful tissue reconstruction and triggers the proliferative phase. The macrophages in the non-healing wounds remain in the inflammatory loop, but their phenotypes can be changed interactions with nanofibre-based scaffolds mimicking the organisation of the native structural support of healthy tissues.

Emotion recognition plays a crucial role in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) which helps to identify and classify human emotions as positive, negative, and neutral. Emotion analysis in BCI maintains a substantial perspective in distinct fields such as healthcare, education, gaming, and human-computer interaction. In healthcare, emotion analysis based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals is deployed to provide personalized support for patients with autism or mood disorders.

It is of great significance to realize the accurate prediction of the key output response of the chemical synthetic ammonia process for optimizing system performance and operation monitoring. Because many key intermediate variables of complex systems are difficult to measure comprehensively, there are great difficulties and errors in mechanism analysis and identification modeling techniques. Based on random forest (RF) variable selection, a deep neural network combining temporal convolutional network (TCN) and transformer is proposed to predict the output variables of the synthetic ammonia process.

The generation of spectral libraries using hyperspectral data allows for the capture of detailed spectral signatures, uncovering subtle variations in plant physiology, biochemistry, and growth stages, marking a significant advancement over traditional land cover classification methods. These spectral libraries enable improved forest classification accuracy and more precise differentiation of plant species and plant functional types (PFTs), thereby establishing hyperspectral sensing as a critical tool for PFT classification. This study aims to advance the classification and monitoring of PFTs in Shoolpaneshwar wildlife sanctuary, Gujarat, India using Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) and machine learning techniques.
