Objective: Non-invasive methods for hemoglobin (Hb) monitoring can provide additional and relatively precise information between invasive measurements of Hb to help doctors' decision-making. We aimed to develop a new method for Hb monitoring based on mask R-CNN and MobileNetV3 with eye images as input.
Methods: Surgical patients from our center were enrolled. After image acquisition and pre-processing, the eye images, the manually selected palpebral conjunctiva, and features extracted, respectively, from the two kinds of images were used as inputs. A combination of feature engineering and regression, solely MobileNetV3, and a combination of mask R-CNN and MobileNetV3 were applied for model development. The model's performance was evaluated using metrics such as R, explained variance score (EVS), and mean absolute error (MAE).
Results: A total of 1,065 original images were analyzed. The model's performance based on the combination of mask R-CNN and MobileNetV3 using the eye images achieved an R, EVS, and MAE of 0.503 (95% CI, 0.499-0.507), 0.518 (95% CI, 0.515-0.522) and 1.6 g/dL (95% CI, 1.6-1.6 g/dL), which was similar to that based on MobileNetV3 using the manually selected palpebral conjunctiva images (R: 0.509, EVS:0.516, MAE:1.6 g/dL).
Conclusion: We developed a new and automatic method for Hb monitoring to help medical staffs' decision-making with high efficiency, especially in cases of disaster rescue, casualty transport, and so on.

Carotid plaques-the buildup of cholesterol, calcium, cellular debris, and fibrous tissues in carotid arteries-can rupture, release microemboli into the cerebral vasculature and cause strokes. The likelihood of a plaque rupturing is thought to be associated with its composition (i.e.

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a deep learning-based segmentation model for predicting outcomes of non-surgical endodontic treatment. Preoperative and 3-year postoperative periapical radiographic images of each tooth from routine root canal treatments performed by endodontists from 2015 to 2021 were obtained retrospectively from Thammasat University hospital. Preoperative radiographic images of 1200 teeth with 3-year follow-up results (440 healed, 400 healing, and 360 disease) were collected.

Accurate calving time prediction plays a critical role in ensuring the well-being of both mother and calf during parturition. Challenges during the calving process, particularly in abnormal cases, often necessitate human intervention to prevent potentially fatal outcomes. This study proposes a novel system for automated prediction of normal and abnormal cattle calving cases based on posture analysis.

Volcanic stratigraphy reconstruction is traditionally based on qualitative facies analysis complemented by geochemical analyses. Here we present a novel technique based on machine learning identification of crystal size distribution to quantitatively fingerprint lavas, shallow intrusions and coarse lava breccias. This technique, based on a simple photograph of a rock (or core) sample, is complementary to existing methods and allows another strategy to identify and compare volcanic rocks for stratigraphic correlation.

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a prevalent type of skin cancer in which the inherent subjectivity of dermoscopy poses diagnostic challenges. Existing AI systems, which provide mainly image-level insights, lack the interpretability that is crucial for effective clinical decisions and patient education.
Patients And Methods: Our study developed a refined BCC dataset from the Human‒Machine Adversarial Model (HAM10000), which was annotated by clinicians to identify key diagnostic features.
