In the imbalance data scenarios, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) fail to generalize well on minority classes. In this letter, we propose a simple and effective learning function i.e, Visually Interpretable Space Adjustment Learning (VISAL) to handle the imbalanced data classification task. VISAL's objective is to create more room for the generalization of minority class samples by bringing in both the angular and euclidean margins into the cross-entropy learning strategy. When evaluated on the imbalanced versions of CIFAR, Tiny ImageNet, COVIDx and IMDB reviews datasets, our proposed method outperforms the state of the art works by a significant margin.

Background: Patient engagement is a critical but challenging public health priority in behavioral health care. During telehealth sessions, health care providers need to rely predominantly on verbal strategies rather than typical nonverbal cues to effectively engage patients. Hence, the typical patient engagement behaviors are now different, and health care provider training on telehealth patient engagement is unavailable or quite limited.

The Canadian Genomics Research and Development Initiative for Antimicrobial Resistance (GRDI-AMR) uses a genomics-based approach to understand how health care, food production and the environment contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. Integrating genomics contextual data streams across the One Health continuum is challenging because of the diversity in data scope, content and structure. To better enable data harmonization for analyses, a contextual data standard was developed.

Purpose: Pulmonary perfusion imaging is a key lung health indicator with clinical utility as a diagnostic and treatment planning tool. However, current nuclear medicine modalities face challenges like low spatial resolution and long acquisition times which limit clinical utility to non-emergency settings and often placing extra financial burden on the patient. This study introduces a novel deep learning approach to predict perfusion imaging from non-contrast inhale and exhale computed tomography scans (IE-CT).

Background: Accurate differentiation between benign and malignant pancreatic lesions is critical for effective patient management. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel deep learning network using baseline computed tomography (CT) images to predict the classification of pancreatic lesions.

Methods: This retrospective study included 864 patients (422 men, 442 women) with confirmed histopathological results across three medical centers, forming a training cohort, internal testing cohort, and external validation cohort.
