[PMID: 38829354 DOI: 10.1080/10255842.2024.2359635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a non-communicable sleep-related medical condition marked by repeated disruptions in breathing during sleep. It may induce various cardiovascular and neurocognitive complications. Electrocardiography (ECG) is a useful method for detecting numerous health-related disorders. ECG signals provide a less complex and non-invasive solution for the screening of OSA. Automated and accurate detection of OSA may enhance diagnostic performance and reduce the clinician's workload. Traditional machine learning methods typically involve several labor-intensive manual procedures, including signal decomposition, feature evaluation, selection, and categorization. This article presents the time-frequency (T-F) spectrum classification of de-noised ECG data for the automatic screening of OSA patients using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). At first, a filter-fusion algorithm is used to eliminate the artifacts from the raw ECG data. Stock-well transform (S-T) is employed to change filtered time-domain ECG into T-F spectrums. To discriminate between apnea and normal ECG signals, the obtained T-F spectrums are categorized using benchmark Alex-Net and Squeeze-Net, along with a less complex DCNN. The superiority of the presented system is measured by computing the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predicted value, precision, F1-score, and Fowlkes-Mallows index. The results of comparing all three utilized DCNNs reveal that the proposed DCNN requires fewer learning parameters and provides higher accuracy. An average accuracy of 95.31% is yielded using the proposed system. The presented deep learning system is lightweight and faster than Alex-Net and Squeeze-Net as it utilizes fewer learnable parameters, making it simple and reliable.

Abstract
Background and Objective. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) poses health risks linked to hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. However, the time-consuming and costly standard diagnostic method, polysomnography (PSG), limits its wide adoption and leads to underdiagnosis. To tackle this, cost-effective algorithms using single-lead signals (like respiratory, blood oxygen, and electrocardiogram) have emerged. Despite respiratory signals being preferred for SDB assessment, a lack of comprehensive reviews addressing their algorithmic scope and performance persists. This paper systematically reviews 2012-2022 literature, covering signal sources, processing, feature extraction, classification, and application, aiming to bridge this gap and provide future research references.Methods. This systematic review followed the registered PROSPERO protocol (CRD42022385130), initially screening 342 papers, with 32 studies meeting data extraction criteria.Results. Respiratory signal sources include nasal airflow (NAF), oronasal airflow (OAF), and respiratory movement-related signals such as thoracic respiratory effort (TRE) and abdominal respiratory effort (ARE). Classification techniques include threshold rule-based methods (8), machine learning models (13), and deep learning models (11). The NAF-based algorithm achieved the highest average accuracy at 94.11%, surpassing 78.19% for other signals. Hypopnea detection sensitivity with single-source respiratory signals remained modest, peaking at 73.34%. The TRE and ARE signals proved to be reliable in identifying different types of SDB because distinct respiratory disorders exhibited different patterns of chest and abdominal motion.Conclusions. Multiple detection algorithms have been widely applied for SDB detection, and their accuracy is closely related to factors such as signal source, signal processing, feature selection, and model selection.

Comput Biol Med 2023; 167:107628.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent respiratory condition in children and is characterized by partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. The respiratory events in OSA induce transient alterations of the cardiovascular system that ultimately can lead to increased cardiovascular risk in affected children. Therefore, a timely and accurate diagnosis is of utmost importance. However, polysomnography (PSG), the standard diagnostic test for pediatric OSA, is complex, uncomfortable, costly, and relatively inaccessible, particularly in low-resource environments, thereby resulting in substantial underdiagnosis. Here, we propose a novel deep-learning approach to simplify the diagnosis of pediatric OSA using raw electrocardiogram tracing (ECG). Specifically, a new convolutional neural network (CNN)-based regression model was implemented to automatically predict pediatric OSA by estimating its severity based on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and deriving 4 OSA severity categories. For this purpose, overnight ECGs from 1,610 PSG recordings obtained from the Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Trial (CHAT) database were used. The database was randomly divided into approximately 60%, 20%, and 20% for training, validation, and testing, respectively. The diagnostic performance of the proposed CNN model largely outperformed the most accurate previous algorithms that relied on ECG-derived features (4-class Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.373 versus 0.166). Specifically, for AHI cutoff values of 1, 5, and 10 events/hour, the binary classification achieved sensitivities of 84.19%, 76.67%, and 53.66%; specificities of 46.15%, 91.39%, and 98.06%; and accuracies of 75.92%, 86.96%, and 91.97%, respectively. Therefore, pediatric OSA can be readily identified by our proposed CNN model, which provides a simpler, faster, and more accessible diagnostic test that can be implemented in clinical practice.

Abstract
Sleep apnea (SLA) is a respiratory-related sleep disorder that affects a major proportion of the population. The gold standard in sleep testing, polysomnography, is costly, inconvenient, and unpleasant, and it requires a skilled professional to score. Multiple researchers have suggested and developed automated scoring processes with less detectors and automated classification algorithms to resolve these problems. An automatic detection system will allow for a high diagnosis rate and the analysis of additional patients. Deep learning (DL) is achieving high priority due to the availability of databases and recently developed methods. As the most up-and-coming technique for classification and generative tasks, DL has shown its significant potential in 2-dimensional clinical image processing studies. However, physiological information collected as 1-dimensional data has yet to be effectively extracted from this new approach to achieve the needed medical goals. So, in this study, we review the most recent studies in the field of DL applied to physiological data based on pulse oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram, airflow, and sound signal. A total of 47 articles from different journals and publishing houses that were published between 2012 and 2022 were identified. The primary objective of this work is to perform a comprehensive analysis to analyze, classify, and compare the main characteristics of deep-learning algorithms applied in physiological data processing for SLA detection. Overall, our analysis provides comprehensive and detailed information for researchers looking to add to this field. The data input source, objective, DL network, training framework, and database references are the critical factors of the DL approach examined. These are the most critical variables that influence system performance. We categorized the relevant research studies in physiological sensor data analysis using the DL approach based on (1) Physiological sensor data aspects, like signal types, sampling frequency, and window size; and (2) DL model perspectives, such as learning structure and input data types.

Abstract
An increasing number of patients and a lack of awareness about obstructive sleep apnea is a point of concern for the healthcare industry. Polysomnography is recommended by health experts to detect obstructive sleep apnea. The patient is paired up with devices that track patterns and activities during their sleep. Polysomnography, being a complex and expensive process, cannot be adopted by the majority of patients. Therefore, an alternative is required. The researchers devised various machine learning algorithms using single lead signals such as electrocardiogram, oxygen saturation, etc., for the detection of obstructive sleep apnea. These methods have low accuracy, less reliability, and high computation time. Thus, the authors introduced two different paradigms for the detection of obstructive sleep apnea. The first is MobileNet V1, and the other is the convergence of MobileNet V1 with two separate recurrent neural networks, Long-Short Term Memory and Gated Recurrent Unit. They evaluate the efficacy of their proposed method using authentic medical cases from the PhysioNet Apnea-Electrocardiogram database. The model MobileNet V1 achieves an accuracy of 89.5%, a convergence of MobileNet V1 with LSTM achieves an accuracy of 90%, and a convergence of MobileNet V1 with GRU achieves an accuracy of 90.29%. The obtained results prove the supremacy of the proposed approach in comparison to the state-of-the-art methods. To showcase the implementation of devised methods in a real-life scenario, the authors design a wearable device that monitors ECG signals and classifies them into apnea and normal. The device employs a security mechanism to transmit the ECG signals securely over the cloud with the consent of patients.

Abstract
Sleep apnea (SA) is characterized by intermittent episodes of apnea or hypopnea paused or reduced breathing, respectively each lasting at least ten seconds that occur during sleep. SA has an estimated global prevalence of 200 million and is associated with medical comorbidity, and sufferers are also more likely to sustain traffic- and work-related injury due to daytime somnolence. SA is amenable to treatment if detected early. Polysomnography (PSG) involving multi-channel signal acquisition is the reference standard for diagnosing SA but is onerous and costly. For home-based detection of SA, single-channelSpO2signal acquisition using portable pulse oximeters is feasible. Machine (ML) and deep learning (DL) models have been developed for automated classification of SA versus no SA usingSpO2signals alone. In this work, we review studies published between 2012 and 2022 on the use of ML and DL forSpO2signal-based diagnosis of SA. A literature search based on PRISMA recommendations yielded 297 publications, of which 31 were selected after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were 20 ML and 11 DL models; their methods, differences, results, merits, and limitations were discussed. Many studies reported encouraging performance, which indicates the utility ofSpO2signals in wearable devices for home-based SA detection.

Abstract
The polysomnogram (PSG) is the gold standard for evaluating sleep quality and disorders. Attempts to automate this process have been hampered by the complexity of the PSG signals and heterogeneity among subjects and recording hardwares. Most of the existing methods for automatic sleep stage scoring rely on hand-engineered features that require prior knowledge of sleep analysis. This paper presents an end-to-end deep transfer learning framework for automatic feature extraction and sleep stage scoring based on a single-channel EEG. The proposed framework was evaluated over the three primary signals recommended by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (C4-M1, F4-M1, O2-M1) from two data sets that have different properties and are recorded with different hardware. Different Time-Frequency (TF) imaging approaches were evaluated to generate TF representations for the 30 s EEG sleep epochs, eliminating the need for complex EEG signal pre-processing or manual feature extraction. Several training and detection scenarios were investigated using transfer learning of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and combined with recurrent neural networks. Generating TF images from continuous wavelet transform along with a deep transfer architecture composed of a pre-trained GoogLeNet CNN followed by a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network showed the best scoring performance among all tested scenarios. Using 20-fold cross-validation applied on the C4-M1 channel, the proposed framework achieved an average per-class accuracy of 91.2%, sensitivity of 77%, specificity of 94.1%, and precision of 75.9%. Our results demonstrate that without changing the model architecture and the training algorithm, our model could be applied to different single-channel EEGs from different data sets. Most importantly, the proposed system receives a single EEG epoch as an input at a time and produces a single corresponding output label, making it suitable for real time monitoring outside sleep labs as well as to help sleep lab specialists arrive at a more accurate diagnoses.

Abstract
Automatic pain intensity assessment from physiological signals has become an appealing approach, but it remains a largely unexplored research topic. Most studies have used machine learning approaches built on carefully designed features based on the domain knowledge available in the literature on the time series of physiological signals. However, a deep learning framework can automate the feature engineering step, enabling the model to directly deal with the raw input signals for real-time pain monitoring. We investigated a personalized Bidirectional Long short-term memory Recurrent Neural Networks (BiLSTM RNN), and an ensemble of BiLSTM RNN and Extreme Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (XGB) for four-category pain intensity classification. We recorded Electrodermal Activity (EDA) signals from 29 subjects during the cold pressor test. We decomposed EDA signals into tonic and phasic components and augmented them to original signals. The BiLSTM-XGB model outperformed the BiLSTM classification performance and achieved an average F1-score of 0.81 and an Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.93 over four pain states: no pain, low pain, medium pain, and high pain. We also explored a concatenation of the deep-learning feature representations and a set of fourteen knowledge-based features extracted from EDA signals. The XGB model trained on this fused feature set showed better performance than when it was trained on component feature sets individually. This study showed that deep learning could let us go beyond expert knowledge and benefit from the generated deep representations of physiological signals for pain assessment.

Abstract
One of the most common sleep disorders is sleep apnea. It manifests itself by episodes of shallow breathing or pauses in breathing during the night. Diagnosis of this disease involves polysomnography examination, which is expensive. Alternatively, diagnostic doctors can be supported with recordings from the in-home polygraphy sensors. Furthermore, numerous attempts for providing an automated apnea episodes annotation algorithm have been made. Most of them, however, do not distinguish between apnea and hypopnea episodes. In this work, a novel solution for epoch-based annotation problem is presented. Utilizing an architecture based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, the proposed model provides locations of sleep disordered breathing episodes and identifies them as either apnea or hypopnea. To achieve this, special pre- and postprocessing steps have been designed. The obtained labels can be then used for calculation of the respiratory event index (REI), which serves as a disease severity indicator. The input for the model consists of the oronasal airflow along with the thoracic and abdominal respiratory effort signals. Performance of the proposed architecture was verified on the SHHS-1 and PhysioNet Sleep databases, obtaining mean REI classification error of 9.24/10.52 with standard deviation of 11.61/7.92 (SHHS-1/PhysioNet). Normal breathing, hypopnea and apnea differentiation accuracy is assessed on both databases, resulting in the correctly classified samples percentage of 86.42%/84.35%, 49.30%/58.28% and 68.20%/69.50% for normal breathing, hypopnea and apnea classes, respectively. Overall accuracies are 80.66%/82.04%. Additionally, the effect of wake periods is investigated. The results show that the proposed model can be successfully used for both episode classification and REI estimation tasks.

Abstract
Medical image recognition is affected by characteristics such as blur and noise, which cause medical image features that cannot be effectively identified and directly affects clinical diagnostics. In order to improve the diagnostic effect of medical MR image features, based on the FRFCM clustering segmentation method, this study combines the medical MR image feature reality, collects data for traditional clustering method analysis, and sorts out the shortcomings of traditional clustering methods. Simultaneously, this study improves the traditional clustering method by combining medical image feature diagnosis requirements. In addition, this study carried out image data processing through simulation, and designed comparative experiments to analyze the performance of the algorithm. The research shows that the FRFCM combined with the intuitionistic fuzzy set proposed in this paper has greatly improved the noise immunity and segmentation performance compared with the FCM based fuzzy set.

Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive review of available technologies for measurements of vital physiology related parameters that cause sleep disordered breathing (SDB). SDB is a chronic disease that may lead to several health problems and increase the risk of high blood pressure and even heart attack. Therefore, the diagnosis of SDB at an early stage is very important. The essential primary step before diagnosis is measurement. Vital health parameters related to SBD might be measured through invasive or non-invasive methods. Nowadays, with respect to increase in aging population, improvement in home health management systems is needed more than even a decade ago. Moreover, traditional health parameter measurement techniques such as polysomnography are not comfortable and introduce additional costs to the consumers. Therefore, in modern advanced self-health management devices, electronics and communication science are combined to provide appliances that can be used for SDB diagnosis, by monitoring a patient's physiological parameters with more comfort and accuracy. Additionally, development in machine learning algorithms provides accurate methods of analysing measured signals. This paper provides a comprehensive review of measurement approaches, data transmission, and communication networks, alongside machine learning algorithms for sleep stage classification, to diagnose SDB.

[PMID: 32899819 PMCID: PMC7570636 DOI: 10.3390/s20185037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Revised: 08/22/2020] [Accepted: 09/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that causes repeated breathing interruption during sleep. The performance of automated apnea detection methods based on respiratory signals depend on the signals considered and feature extraction methods. Moreover, feature engineering techniques are highly dependent on the experts’ experience and their prior knowledge about different physiological signals and conditions of the subjects. To overcome these problems, a novel deep recurrent neural network (RNN) framework is developed for automated feature extraction and detection of apnea events from single respiratory channel inputs. Long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) are investigated to develop the proposed deep RNN model. The proposed framework is evaluated over three respiration signals: Oronasal thermal airflow (FlowTh), nasal pressure (NPRE), and abdominal respiratory inductance plethysmography (ABD). To demonstrate our results, we use polysomnography (PSG) data of 17 patients with obstructive, central, and mixed apnea events. Our results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in automatic extraction for temporal features and automated detection of apneic events over the different respiratory signals considered in this study. Using a deep BiLSTM-based detection model, the NPRE signal achieved the highest overall detection results with true positive rate (sensitivity) = 90.3%, true negative rate (specificity) = 83.7%, and area under receiver operator characteristic curve = 92.4%. The present results contribute a new deep learning approach for automated detection of sleep apnea events from single channel respiration signals that can potentially serve as a helpful and alternative tool for the traditional PSG method.

Abstract
To solve the problem of vibration motor fault detection accuracy and inefficiency in smartphone components, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on the wavelet packet and improves long and short-term memory network. First, the voltage signal of the vibration motor is decomposed by a wavelet packet to reconstruct the signal. Secondly, the reconstructed signal is input into the improved three-layer LSTM network as a feature vector. The memory characteristics of the LSTM network are used to fully learn the time-series fault feature information in the unsteady state signal, and then, the model is used to diagnose the motor fault. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified through experiments and can be applied to engineering practice. Compared with the existing motor fault diagnosis method, the improved WP-LSTM diagnosis method has a better diagnosis effect and improves fault diagnosis.

Abstract
Sleep apnea is a sleep related disorder that significantly affects the population. Polysomnography, the gold standard, is expensive, inaccessible, uncomfortable and an expert technician is needed to score. Numerous researchers have proposed and implemented automatic scoring processes to address these issues, based on fewer sensors and automatic classification algorithms. Deep learning is gaining higher interest due to database availability, newly developed techniques, the possibility of producing machine created features and higher computing power that allows the algorithms to achieve better performance than the shallow classifiers. Therefore, the sleep apnea research has currently gained significant interest in deep learning. The goal of this work is to analyze the published research in the last decade, providing an answer to the research questions such as how to implement the different deep networks, what kind of pre-processing or feature extraction is needed, and the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of networks. The employed signals, sensors, databases and implementation challenges were also considered. A systematic search was conducted on five indexing services from 2008-2018. A total of 255 papers were found and 21 were selected by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) approach.
