Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fatigue has a considerable impact on the driver's vehicle and even the driver's own operating ability. METHODS An intelligent algorithm is proposed for the problem that it is difficult to classify the degree of drowsiness generated by the driver during the driving process. By studying the driver's electrocardiogram (ECG) during driving, two models were established to jointly classify the ECG signals as awake, stress, and fatigue or drowsiness states for drowsiness levels. Firstly, the deep learning method was used to establish the model_1 to predict the drowsiness of the original ECG, and model_2 was developed using the combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and weighted K-nearest neighbor (WKNN) algorithm to classify the heart rate variability characteristics. Then, the drowsiness prediction results of the two models were weighted according to certain rules, and the hybrid learning model combining dilated convolution and bidirectional long short-term memory network with PCA and WKNN algorithm was established, and the mixed model was denoted as DiCNN-BiLSTM and PCA-WKNN (DBPW). Finally, the validity of the DBPW model was verified by simulation of the public database. RESULTS The experimental results show that the average accuracy, sensitivity and F1 score of the test model in the dataset containing multiple drivers are 98.79, 98.81, and 98.79 % respectively, and the recognition accuracy for drowsiness or drowsiness state is 99.33 %. CONCLUSIONS Using the proposed algorithm, it is possible to identify driver anomalies and provide new ideas for the development of intelligent vehicles.

Abstract
Presently, the field of analyzing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of RNA-seq data is still in its infancy, with new approaches constantly being proposed. Taking advantage of deep neural networks to explore gene expression information on RNA-seq data can provide a novel possibility in the biomedical field. In this study, a novel approach based on a deep learning algorithm and cloud model was developed, named Deep-Cloud. Its main advantage is not only using a convolutional neural network and long short-term memory to extract original data features and estimate gene expression of RNA-seq data but also combining the statistical method of the cloud model to quantify the uncertainty and carry out in-depth analysis of the DEGs between the disease groups and the control groups. Compared with traditional analysis software of DEGs, the Deep-cloud model further improves the sensitivity and accuracy of obtaining DEGs from RNA-seq data. Overall, the proposed new approach Deep-cloud paves a new pathway for mining RNA-seq data in the biomedical field.

[PMID: 38534567 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11030293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is crucial in assessing patient decisions. However, portable ECG devices capable of acquiring a complete 12-lead ECG are scarce. For the first time, a deep learning-based method is proposed to reconstruct the 12-lead ECG from Frank leads (VX, VY, and VZ) or EASI leads (VES, VAS, and VAI). The innovative ECG reconstruction network called M2Eformer is composed of a 2D-ECGblock and a ProbDecoder module. The 2D-ECGblock module adaptively segments EASI leads into multi-periods based on frequency energy, transforming the 1D time series into a 2D tensor representing within-cycle and between-cycle variations. The ProbDecoder module aims to extract Probsparse self-attention and achieve one-step output for the target leads. Experimental results from comparing recorded and reconstructed 12-lead ECG using Frank leads indicate that M2Eformer outperforms traditional ECG reconstruction methods on a public database. In this study, a self-constructed database (10 healthy individuals + 15 patients) was utilized for the clinical diagnostic validation of ECG reconstructed from EASI leads. Subsequently, both the ECG reconstructed using EASI and the recorded 12-lead ECG were subjected to a double-blind diagnostic experiment conducted by three cardiologists. The overall diagnostic consensus among three cardiology experts, reaching a rate of 96%, indicates the significant utility of EASI-reconstructed 12-lead ECG in facilitating the diagnosis of cardiac conditions.

Abstract
Objectives Cardiac arrhythmia is one of the most severe cardiovascular diseases that can be fatal. Therefore, its early detection is critical. However, detecting types of arrhythmia by physicians based on visual identification is time-consuming and subjective. Deep learning can develop effective approaches to classify arrhythmias accurately and quickly. This study proposed a deep learning approach developed based on a Chapman-Shaoxing electrocardiogram (ECG) dataset signal to detect seven types of arrhythmias. Method Our DNN model is a hybrid CNN-BILSTM-BiGRU algorithm assisted by a multi-head self-attention mechanism regarding the challenging problem of classifying various arrhythmias of ECG signals. Additionally, the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE)-Tomek technique was utilized to address the data imbalance problem to detect and classify cardiac arrhythmias. Result The proposed model, trained with a single lead, was tested using a dataset containing 10,466 participants. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated using a random split validation approach. The proposed algorithm achieved an accuracy of 98.57% by lead II and 98.34% by lead aVF for the classification of arrhythmias. Conclusion We conducted an analysis of single-lead ECG signals to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed hybrid model in diagnosing and classifying different types of arrhythmias. We trained separate classification models using each individual signal lead. Additionally, we implemented the SMOTE-Tomek technique along with cross-entropy loss as a cost function to address the class imbalance problem. Furthermore, we utilized a multi-headed self-attention mechanism to adjust the network structure and classify the seven arrhythmia classes. Our model achieved high accuracy and demonstrated good generalization ability in detecting ECG arrhythmias. However, further testing of the model with diverse datasets is crucial to validate its performance.

Abstract
To drive health innovation that meets the needs of all and democratize healthcare, there is a need to assess the generalization performance of deep learning (DL) algorithms across various distribution shifts to ensure that these algorithms are robust. This retrospective study is, to the best of our knowledge, an original attempt to develop and assess the generalization performance of a DL model for AF events detection from long term beat-to-beat intervals across geography, ages and sexes. The new recurrent DL model, denoted ArNet2, is developed on a large retrospective dataset of 2,147 patients totaling 51,386 h obtained from continuous electrocardiogram (ECG). The model's generalization is evaluated on manually annotated test sets from four centers (USA, Israel, Japan and China) totaling 402 patients. The model is further validated on a retrospective dataset of 1,825 consecutives Holter recordings from Israel. The model outperforms benchmark state-of-the-art models and generalized well across geography, ages and sexes. For the task of event detection ArNet2 performance was higher for female than male, higher for young adults (less than 61 years old) than other age groups and across geography. Finally, ArNet2 shows better performance for the test sets from the USA and China. The main finding explaining these variations is an impairment in performance in groups with a higher prevalence of atrial flutter (AFL). Our findings on the relative performance of ArNet2 across groups may have clinical implications on the choice of the preferred AF examination method to use relative to the group of interest.

Abstract
Deep learning-based models have achieved significant success in detecting cardiac arrhythmia by analyzing ECG signals to categorize patient heartbeats. To improve the performance of such models, we have developed a novel hybrid hierarchical attention-based bidirectional recurrent neural network with dilated CNN (HARDC) method for arrhythmia classification. This solves problems that arise when traditional dilated convolutional neural network (CNN) models disregard the correlation between contexts and gradient dispersion. The proposed HARDC fully exploits the dilated CNN and bidirectional recurrent neural network unit (BiGRU-BiLSTM) architecture to generate fusion features. As a result of incorporating both local and global feature information and an attention mechanism, the model's performance for prediction is improved. By combining the fusion features with a dilated CNN and a hierarchical attention mechanism, the trained HARDC model showed significantly improved classification results and interpretability of feature extraction on the PhysioNet 2017 challenge dataset. Sequential Z-Score normalization, filtering, denoising, and segmentation are used to prepare the raw data for analysis. CGAN (Conditional Generative Adversarial Network) is then used to generate synthetic signals from the processed data. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HARDC model significantly outperforms other existing models, achieving an accuracy of 99.60%, F1 score of 98.21%, a precision of 97.66%, and recall of 99.60% using MIT-BIH generated ECG. In addition, this approach significantly reduces run time when using dilated CNN compared to normal convolution. Overall, this hybrid model demonstrates an innovative and cost-effective strategy for ECG signal compression and high-performance ECG recognition. Our results indicate that an automated and highly computed method to classify multiple types of arrhythmia signals holds considerable promise.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Learning to classify cardiac abnormalities requires large and high-quality labeled datasets, which is a challenge in medical applications. Small datasets from various sources are often aggregated to meet this requirement, resulting in a final dataset prone to label noise owing to inter- and intra-observer variability, and different expertise. It is well known that label noise can affect the performance and generalizability of the trained models. In this work, we explore the impact of label noise and self-learning label correction on the classification of cardiac abnormalities on large heterogeneous datasets of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. APPROACH A state-of-the-art self-learning multi-class label correction method for image classification is adapted to learn a multi-label classifier for electrocardiogram signals. We evaluated our performance using 5-fold cross-validation on the publicly available PhysioNet/Computing in Cardiology (CinC) 2021 Challenge data, with full and reduced sets of leads. Due to the unknown label noise in the testing set, we tested our approach on the MNIST dataset. We investigated the performance under different levels of structured label noise for both datasets. MAIN RESULTS Under high levels of noise, the cross-validation results of self-learning label correction showed an improvement of approximately 3% in the Challenge score for the PhysioNet/CinC 2021 Challenge dataset and, an improvement in accuracy of 5$\%$ and reduction of the expected calibration error of 0.03 for the MNIST dataset. We demonstrate that self-learning label correction can be used to effectively deal with the presence of unknown label noise, also when using a reduced number of ECG leads.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia that can lead to stroke, heart failure, and premature death. Manual screening of AF on electrocardiography (ECG) is time-consuming and prone to errors. To overcome these limitations, computer-aided diagnosis systems are developed using artificial intelligence techniques for automated detection of AF. Various machine learning and deep learning (DL) techniques have been developed for the automated detection of AF. In this review, we focused on the automated AF detection models developed using DL techniques. Twenty-four relevant articles published in international journals were reviewed. DL models based on deep neural network, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network, long short-term memory, and hybrid structures were discussed. Our analysis showed that the majority of the studies used CNN models, which yielded the highest detection performance using ECG and heart rate variability signals. Details of the ECG databases used in the studies, performance metrics of the various models deployed, associated advantages and limitations, as well as proposed future work were summarized and discussed. This review paper serves as a useful resource for the researchers interested in developing innovative computer-assisted ECG-based DL approaches for AF detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice, and its accurate screening is of great significance to avoid cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Electrocardiogram (ECG) is considered to be the most commonly used technique for detecting AF abnormalities. However, previous ECG-based deep learning algorithms did not take into account the complementary nature of inter-layer information, which may lead to insufficient AF screening. This study reports the first attempt to use hybrid multi-scale information in a global space for accurate and robust AF detection. METHODS We propose a novel deep learning classification method, namely, global hybrid multi-scale convolutional neural network (i.e., GH-MS-CNN), to implement binary classification for AF detection. Unlike previous deep learning methods in AF detection, an ingenious hybrid multi-scale convolution (HMSC) module, for the advantage of automatically aggregating different types of complementary inter-layer multi-scale features in the global space, is introduced into all dense blocks of the GH-MS-CNN model to implement sufficient feature extraction, and achieve much better overall classification performance. RESULTS The proposed GH-MS-CNN method has been fully validated on the CPSC 2018 database and tested on the independent PhysioNet 2017 database. The experimental results show that the global and hybrid multi-scale information has tremendous advantages over local and single-type multi-scale information in AF screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is the common arrhythmia disease, affecting thousands of individuals worldwide. However, the traditional PVC detection is cumbersome by visually inspecting electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. METHODS In this work, we specially propose an improved gated recurrent unit (IGRU) by setting a scale parameter into existing bidirectional GRU (BGRU) model for PVC signals recognition, which is used to alleviate the problem of information redundancy in BGRU. To verify the effectiveness, IGRU model will be embedded into a convolutional network frame and existing GRU and BGRU models are employed as control groups for a fair comparison. RESULTS The results exhibit that the model attains better model performance than control groups and several state-of-the-art algorithms with the accuracy of 98.3% and 97.9% with the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and China Physiological Signal Challenge 2018 database. Besides, motivated from the waveform characteristics of ECG signals in PVC, the proposed model can provide certain physiological interpretability for physicians and researchers. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to re-design the existing GRU network for ECG signals classification, thus exhibiting great application potentials especially in lightweight equipment such as mobile phone and camera.
