A prospective study was undertaken to investigate the potential value of morphometry and artificial neural networks (ANN) for the discrimination of benign and malignant gastric lesions. Two thousand five hundred cells from 23 cases of cancer, 19 cases of gastritis and 58 cases of ulcer were selected as a training set, and an additional 8524 cells from an equal number of cases of cancer, gastritis and ulcer were used as a test set. Images of routine processed gastric smears stained by the Papanicolaou technique were processed by a custom image analysis system. The application of the learning vector quantization (LVQ) classifier enabled correct classification of > 97% of benign cells and > 95% of malignant cells, obtaining an overall accuracy of > 97%. This study presents the capabilities of ANN, and also indicates that ANN and image morphometry may offer useful information on the potential of malignancy in gastric cells.

Unobtrusive pulse rate monitoring by continuous video recording, based on remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), might enable early detection of perioperative arrhythmias in general ward patients. However, the accuracy of an rPPG-based machine learning model to monitor the pulse rate during sinus rhythm and arrhythmias is unknown. We conducted a prospective, observational diagnostic study in a cohort with a high prevalence of arrhythmias (patients undergoing elective electrical cardioversion).

Background: Assessing the relative performance of machine learning (ML) methods and conventional statistical methods in predicting prognosis in heart failure (HF) still remains a challenging research field.
Methods: The primary outcome was three-year mortality. The following 5 machine learning approaches were used for modeling: Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting, Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machine, and Multilayer perceptron.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has already revolutionized the analysis of image, text, and tabular data, bringing significant advances across many medical sectors. Now, by combining with wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs), AI could transform health care again by opening new opportunities in patient care and medical research.
Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the integration of AI models with wearable IMUs in health care, identifying current applications, challenges, and future opportunities.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based point-of-care testing (POCT) has the potential to facilitate the rapid identification of diseases, offering advantages such as high sensitivity, strong selectivity, and minimal background interference. However, as the throughput of these devices increases, the issues of increased energy consumption and cross-contamination of samples remain. In this study, a high-throughput ECL biosensor platform with the assistance of machine learning algorithms is developed by combining a microcolumn array electrode, a microelectrochemical workstation, and a smartphone with custom software.
