Background And Purpose: Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from severe head injury or stroke poses a risk of secondary brain injury that requires neurosurgical intervention. However, currently available noninvasive monitoring techniques for predicting ICP are not sufficiently advanced. We aimed to develop a minimally invasive ICP prediction model using simple CT images to prevent secondary brain injury caused by elevated ICP.
Methods: We used the following three methods to determine the presence or absence of elevated ICP using midbrain-level CT images: (1) a deep learning model created using the Python (PY) programming language; (2) a model based on cistern narrowing and scaling of brainstem deformities and presence of hydrocephalus, analyzed using the statistical tool Prediction One (PO); and (3) identification of ICP by senior residents (SRs). We compared the accuracy of the validation and test data using fivefold cross-validation and visualized or quantified the areas of interest in the models.
Results: The accuracy of the validation data for the PY, PO, and SR methods was 83.68% (83.42%-85.13%), 85.71% (73.81%-88.10%), and 66.67% (55.96%-72.62%), respectively. Significant differences in accuracy were observed between the PY and SR methods. Test data accuracy was 77.27% (70.45%-77.2%), 84.09% (75.00%-85.23%), and 61.36% (56.82%-68.18%), respectively.
Conclusions: Overall, the outcomes suggest that these newly developed models may be valuable tools for the rapid and accurate detection of elevated ICP in clinical practice. These models can easily be applied to other sites, as a single CT image at the midbrain level can provide a highly accurate diagnosis.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers remarkable insights into cellular development and differentiation by capturing the gene expression profiles of individual cells. The role of dimensionality reduction and visualization in the interpretation of scRNA-seq data has gained widely acceptance. However, current methods face several challenges, including incomplete structure-preserving strategies and high distortion in embeddings, which fail to effectively model complex cell trajectories with multiple branches.

Antibody generation requires the use of one or more time-consuming methods, namely animal immunization, and in vitro display technologies. However, the recent availability of large amounts of antibody sequence and structural data in the public domain along with the advent of generative deep learning algorithms raises the possibility of computationally generating novel antibody sequences with desirable developability attributes. Here, we describe a deep learning model for computationally generating libraries of highly human antibody variable regions whose intrinsic physicochemical properties resemble those of the variable regions of the marketed antibody-based biotherapeutics (medicine-likeness).

With the rising demand of saffron, it is essential to standardize the confirmation of its origin and identify any adulteration to maintain a good quality led market product. However, a rapid and reliable strategy for identifying the adulteration saffron is still lacks. Herein, a combination of headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed.

Introduction: The growing demand for real-time, affordable, and accessible healthcare has underscored the need for advanced technologies that can provide timely health monitoring. One such area is predicting arterial blood pressure (BP) using non-invasive methods, which is crucial for managing cardiovascular diseases. This research aims to address the limitations of current healthcare systems, particularly in remote areas, by leveraging deep learning techniques in Smart Health Monitoring (SHM).

Introduction: Active learning can significantly decrease the labeling cost of deep learning workflows by prioritizing the limited labeling budget to high-impact data points that have the highest positive impact on model accuracy. Active learning is especially useful for semantic segmentation tasks where we can selectively label only a few high-impact regions within these high-impact images. Most established regional active learning algorithms deploy a static-budget querying strategy where a fixed percentage of regions are queried in each image.
