Achieving adequate enteral nutrition among mechanically ventilated patients is challenging, yet critical. We developed NutriSighT, a transformer model using learnable positional coding to predict which patients would achieve hypocaloric nutrition between days 3-7 of mechanical ventilation. Using retrospective data from two large ICU databases (3,284 patients from AmsterdamUMCdb - development set, and 6,456 from MIMIC-IV - external validation set), we included adult patients intubated for at least 72 hours. NutriSighT achieved AUROC of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.81 - 0.82) and an AUPRC of 0.70 (95% CI: 0.70 - 0.72) on internal test set. External validation with MIMIC-IV data yielded a AUROC of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.75 - 0.76) and an AUPRC of (95% CI: 0.69 - 0.70). At a threshold of 0.5, the model achieved a 75.16% sensitivity, 60.57% specificity, 58.30% positive predictive value, and 76.88% negative predictive value. This approach may help clinicians personalize nutritional therapy among critically ill patients, improving patient outcomes.

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.

Speech Enhancement for Cochlear Implant Recipients using Deep Complex Convolution Transformer with Frequency Transformation.

IEEE/ACM Trans Audio Speech Lang Process

CRSS: Center for Robust Speech Systems; Cochlear Implant Processing Laboratory (CILab), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Texas at Dallas, USA.

The presence of background noise or competing talkers is one of the main communication challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users in speech understanding in naturalistic spaces. These external factors distort the time-frequency (T-F) content including magnitude spectrum and phase of speech signals. While most existing speech enhancement (SE) solutions focus solely on enhancing the magnitude response, recent research highlights the importance of phase in perceptual speech quality.

Self-supervised learning (SSL) is an approach to pretrain models with unlabeled datasets and extract useful feature representations such that these models can be easily fine-tuned for various downstream tasks. Self-pretraining applies SSL on curated task-specific datasets without using task-specific labels. Increasing availability of public data repositories has now made it possible to utilize diverse and large, task unrelated datasets to pretrain models in the "wild" using SSL.

Background: Prognosis prediction is crucial for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment planning. While tumor hypoxia significantly impacts patient outcomes, identifying hypoxic genomic markers remains challenging. This study sought to identify hypoxic computed tomography (CT) radiomic features and create an artificial intelligence (AI) model for NSCLC through the integration of multi-modal data.
