Abstract
A crucial consideration in examining the physicochemical characteristics of chemical compound structures is topological indices. In addition, topological indices will serve as a description of a molecule under test by translating each molecule's structure into a real number. In this paper, we calculate topological indices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for anticancer drugs, where da is the degree of vertex a in graph G and 0≠α,β∈R. By choosing of parameters α and β, some of new/old results for topological indices are obtained. The results of this study may assist to chemists in identifying the chemical, physical and biological activity associated with them.

Ozturk N, Yakak I, Ağ MB, Aksoy N. Is ChatGPT reliable and accurate in answering pharmacotherapy-related inquiries in both Turkish and English? CURRENTS IN PHARMACY TEACHING & LEARNING 2024; 16:102101. [PMID: 38702261 DOI: 10.1016/j.cptl.2024.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, is becoming more and more prevalent in the healthcare field for tasks such as disease diagnosis and medical record analysis. The objective of this study is to evaluate the proficiency and accuracy of ChatGPT in different domains of clinical pharmacy cases and queries. METHODS The study NAPLEX® Review Questions, 4th edition, pertaining to 10 different chronic conditions compared ChatGPT's responses to pharmacotherapy cases and questions obtained from McGraw Hill's, alongside the answers provided by the book's authors. The proportion of correct responses was collected and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29. RESULTS When tested in English, ChatGPT had substantially higher mean scores than when tested in Turkish. The average accurate score for English and Turkish was 0.41 ± 0.49 and 0.32 ± 0.46, respectively, p = 0.18. Responses to queries beginning with "Which of the following is correct?" are considerably more precise than those beginning with "Mark all the incorrect answers?" 0.66 ± 0.47 as opposed to 0.16 ± 0.36; p = 0.01 in English language and 0.50 ± 0.50 as opposed to 0.14 ± 0.34; p < 0.05in Turkish language. CONCLUSION ChatGPT displayed a moderate level of accuracy while responding to English inquiries, but it displayed a slight level of accuracy when responding to Turkish inquiries, contingent upon the question format. Improving the accuracy of ChatGPT in languages other than English requires the incorporation of several components. The integration of the English version of ChatGPT into clinical practice has the potential to improve the effectiveness, precision, and standard of patient care provision by supplementing personal expertise and professional judgment. However, it is crucial to utilize technology as an adjunct and not a replacement for human decision-making and critical thinking.

[PMID: 38575951 PMCID: PMC10996111 DOI: 10.1186/s12911-024-02495-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Emerging from the convergence of digital twin technology and the metaverse, consumer health (MCH) is witnessing a transformative shift. The amalgamation of bioinformatics with healthcare Big Data has ushered in a new era of disease prediction models that harness comprehensive medical data, enabling the anticipation of illnesses even before the onset of symptoms. In this model, deep neural networks stand out because they improve accuracy remarkably by increasing network depth and making weight changes using gradient descent. Nonetheless, traditional methods face their own set of challenges, including the issues of gradient instability and slow training. In this case, the Broad Learning System (BLS) stands out as a good alternative. It gets around the problems with gradient descent and lets you quickly rebuild a model through incremental learning. One problem with BLS is that it has trouble extracting complex features from complex medical data. This makes it less useful in a wide range of healthcare situations. In response to these challenges, we introduce DAE-BLS, a novel hybrid model that marries Denoising AutoEncoder (DAE) noise reduction with the efficiency of BLS. This hybrid approach excels in robust feature extraction, particularly within the intricate and multifaceted world of medical data. Validation using diverse datasets yields impressive results, with accuracies reaching as high as 98.50%. DAE-BLS's ability to rapidly adapt through incremental learning holds great promise for accurate and agile disease prediction, especially within the complex and dynamic healthcare scenarios of today.

[PMID: 38337853 PMCID: PMC10855975 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14030337] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Given the pronounced impact COVID-19 continues to have on society-infecting 700 million reported individuals and causing 6.96 million deaths-many deep learning works have recently focused on the virus's diagnosis. However, assessing severity has remained an open and challenging problem due to a lack of large datasets, the large dimensionality of images for which to find weights, and the compute limitations of modern graphics processing units (GPUs). In this paper, a new, iterative application of transfer learning is demonstrated on the understudied field of 3D CT scans for COVID-19 severity analysis. This methodology allows for enhanced performance on the MosMed Dataset, which is a small and challenging dataset containing 1130 images of patients for five levels of COVID-19 severity (Zero, Mild, Moderate, Severe, and Critical). Specifically, given the large dimensionality of the input images, we create several custom shallow convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures and iteratively refine and optimize them, paying attention to learning rates, layer types, normalization types, filter sizes, dropout values, and more. After a preliminary architecture design, the models are systematically trained on a simplified version of the dataset-building models for two-class, then three-class, then four-class, and finally five-class classification. The simplified problem structure allows the model to start learning preliminary features, which can then be further modified for more difficult classification tasks. Our final model CoSev boosts classification accuracies from below 60% at first to 81.57% with the optimizations, reaching similar performance to the state-of-the-art on the dataset, with much simpler setup procedures. In addition to COVID-19 severity diagnosis, the explored methodology can be applied to general image-based disease detection. Overall, this work highlights innovative methodologies that advance current computer vision practices for high-dimension, low-sample data as well as the practicality of data-driven machine learning and the importance of feature design for training, which can then be implemented for improvements in clinical practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung diseases, both infectious and non-infectious, are the most prevalent cause of mortality overall in the world. Medical research has identified pneumonia, lung cancer, and Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) as prominent lung diseases prioritized over others. Imaging modalities, including X-rays, computer tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs), positron emission tomography (PET) scans, and others, are primarily employed in medical assessments because they provide computed data that can be utilized as input datasets for computer-assisted diagnostic systems. Imaging datasets are used to develop and evaluate machine learning (ML) methods to analyze and predict prominent lung diseases. OBJECTIVE This review analyzes ML paradigms, imaging modalities' utilization, and recent developments for prominent lung diseases. Furthermore, the research also explores various datasets available publically that are being used for prominent lung diseases. METHODS The well-known databases of academic studies that have been subjected to peer review, namely ScienceDirect, arXiv, IEEE Xplore, MDPI, and many more, were used for the search of relevant articles. Applied keywords and combinations used to search procedures with primary considerations for review, such as pneumonia, lung cancer, COVID-19, various imaging modalities, ML, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transfer learning, and ensemble learning. RESULTS This research finding indicates that X-ray datasets are preferred for detecting pneumonia, while CT scan datasets are predominantly favored for detecting lung cancer. Furthermore, in COVID-19 detection, X-ray datasets are prioritized over CT scan datasets. The analysis reveals that X-rays and CT scans have surpassed all other imaging techniques. It has been observed that using CNNs yields a high degree of accuracy and practicability in identifying prominent lung diseases. Transfer learning and ensemble learning are complementary techniques to CNNs to facilitate analysis. Furthermore, accuracy is the most favored metric for assessment.

Abstract
Heterogeneous data is endemic due to the use of diverse models and settings of devices by hospitals in the field of medical imaging. However, there are few open-source frameworks for federated heterogeneous medical image analysis with personalization and privacy protection without the demand to modify the existing model structures or to share any private data. Here, we proposed PPPML-HMI, a novel open-source learning paradigm for personalized and privacy-preserving federated heterogeneous medical image analysis. To our best knowledge, personalization and privacy protection were discussed simultaneously for the first time under the federated scenario by integrating the PerFedAvg algorithm and designing the novel cyclic secure aggregation with the homomorphic encryption algorithm. To show the utility of PPPML-HMI, we applied it to a simulated classification task namely the classification of healthy people and patients from the RAD-ChestCT Dataset, and one real-world segmentation task namely the segmentation of lung infections from COVID-19 CT scans. Meanwhile, we applied the improved deep leakage from gradients to simulate adversarial attacks and showed the strong privacy-preserving capability of PPPML-HMI. By applying PPPML-HMI to both tasks with different neural networks, a varied number of users, and sample sizes, we demonstrated the strong generalizability of PPPML-HMI in privacy-preserving federated learning on heterogeneous medical images.

Abstract
Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare can enhance clinical workflows and diagnoses, particularly in large-scale operations like COVID-19 mass testing. This study presents a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for automated COVID-19 RATD image classification. Methods To address the absence of a RATD image dataset, we crowdsourced 900 real-world images focusing on positive and negative cases. Rigorous data augmentation and StyleGAN2-ADA generated simulated images to overcome dataset limitations and class imbalances. Results The best CNN model achieved a 93% validation accuracy. Test accuracies were 88% for simulated datasets and 82% for real datasets. Augmenting simulated images during training did not significantly improve real-world test image performance but enhanced simulated test image performance. Discussion The findings of this study highlight the potential of the developed model in expediting COVID-19 testing processes and facilitating large-scale testing and tracking systems. The study also underscores the challenges in designing and developing such models, emphasizing the importance of addressing dataset limitations and class imbalances. Conclusion This research contributes to the deployment of large-scale testing and tracking systems, offering insights into the potential applications of AI in mitigating outbreaks similar to COVID-19. Future work could focus on refining the model and exploring its adaptability to other healthcare scenarios.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted medical imaging technology is a new research area of great interest that has developed rapidly over the last decade. However, there has been no bibliometric analysis of published studies in this field. The present review focuses on AI-related studies on computed tomography imaging in the Web of Science database and uses CiteSpace and VOSviewer to generate a knowledge map and conduct the basic information analysis, co-word analysis, and co-citation analysis. A total of 7265 documents were included and the number of documents published had an overall upward trend. Scholars from the United States and China have made outstanding achievements, and there is a general lack of extensive cooperation in this field. In recent years, the research areas of great interest and difficulty have been the optimization and upgrading of algorithms, and the application of theoretical models to practical clinical applications. This review will help researchers understand the developments, research areas of great interest, and research frontiers in this field and provide reference and guidance for future studies.

Distributed Analytics (DA) as an enabler for privacy-preserving analysis across multiple data sources has shown its potential to support data-intensive research. However, the application of DA creates new challenges stemming from its distributed nature, such as identifying single points of failure (SPOFs) in DA tasks before their actual execution. Failing to detect such SPOFs can, for example, result in improper termination of the DA code, necessitating additional efforts from multiple stakeholders to resolve the malfunctions. Moreover, these malfunctions disrupt the seamless conduct of DA and entail several crucial consequences, including technical obstacles to resolve the issues, potential delays in research outcomes, and increased costs. In this study, we address this challenge by introducing a concept based on a method called Smoke Testing, an initial and foundational test run to ensure the operability of the analysis code. We review existing DA platforms and systematically extract six specific Smoke Testing criteria for DA applications. With these criteria in mind, we create an interactive environment called Development Environment for AuTomated and Holistic Smoke Testing of Analysis-Runs (DEATHSTAR), which allows researchers to perform Smoke Tests on their DA experiments. We conduct a user-study with 29 participants to assess our environment and additionally apply it to three real use cases. The results of our evaluation validate its effectiveness, revealing that 96.6% of the analyses created and (Smoke) tested by participants using our approach successfully terminated without any errors. Thus, by incorporating Smoke Testing as a fundamental method, our approach helps identify potential malfunctions early in the development process, ensuring smoother data-driven research within the scope of DA. Through its flexibility and adaptability to diverse real use cases, our solution enables more robust and efficient development of DA experiments, which contributes to their reliability.

Developing an interpretable machine learning model for predicting COVID-19 patients deteriorating prior to intensive care unit admission using laboratory markers. Heliyon 2023; 9:e22878. [PMID: 38125502 PMCID: PMC10731083 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e22878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) remains a significant global health challenge, prompting a transition from emergency response to comprehensive management strategies. Furthermore, the emergence of new variants of concern, such as BA.2.286, underscores the need for early detection and response to new variants, which continues to be a crucial strategy for mitigating the impact of COVID-19, especially among the vulnerable population. This study aims to anticipate patients requiring intensive care or facing elevated mortality risk throughout their COVID-19 infection while also identifying laboratory predictive markers for early diagnosis of patients. Therefore, haematological, biochemical, and demographic variables were retrospectively evaluated in 8,844 blood samples obtained from 2,935 patients before intensive care unit admission using an interpretable machine learning model. Feature selection techniques were applied using precision-recall measures to address data imbalance and evaluate the suitability of the different variables. The model was trained using stratified cross-validation with k=5 and internally validated, achieving an accuracy of 77.27%, sensitivity of 78.55%, and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUC) of 0.85; successfully identifying patients at increased risk of severe progression. From a medical perspective, the most important features of the progression or severity of patients with COVID-19 were lactate dehydrogenase, age, red blood cell distribution standard deviation, neutrophils, and platelets, which align with findings from several prior investigations. In light of these insights, diagnostic processes can be significantly expedited through the use of laboratory tests, with a greater focus on key indicators. This strategic approach not only improves diagnostic efficiency but also extends its reach to a broader spectrum of patients. In addition, it allows healthcare professionals to take early preventive measures for those most at risk of adverse outcomes, thereby optimising patient care and prognosis.

Abstract
Identifying and managing osteosarcoma pose significant challenges, especially in resource-constrained developing nations. Advanced diagnostic methods involve isolating the nucleus from cancer cells for comprehensive analysis. However, two main challenges persist: mitigating image noise during the capture and transmission of cellular sections, and providing an efficient, accurate, and cost-effective solution for cell nucleus segmentation. To tackle these issues, we introduce the Twin-Self and Cross-Attention Vision Transformer (TSCA-ViT). This pioneering AI-based system employs a directed filtering algorithm for noise reduction and features an innovative transformer architecture with a twin attention mechanism for effective segmentation. The model also incorporates cross-attention-enabled skip connections to augment spatial information. We evaluated our method on a dataset of 1000 osteosarcoma pathology slide images from the Second People's Hospital of Huaihua, achieving a remarkable average precision of 97.7%. This performance surpasses traditional methodologies. Furthermore, TSCA-ViT offers enhanced computational efficiency owing to its fewer parameters, which results in reduced time and equipment costs. These findings underscore the superior efficacy and efficiency of TSCA-ViT, offering a promising approach for addressing the ongoing challenges in osteosarcoma diagnosis and treatment, particularly in settings with limited resources.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) development imitates the workings of the human brain to comprehend modern problems. The traditional approaches such as high throughput screening (HTS) and combinatorial chemistry are lengthy and expensive to the pharmaceutical industry as they can only handle a smaller dataset. Deep learning (DL) is a sophisticated AI method that uses a thorough comprehension of particular systems. The pharmaceutical industry is now adopting DL techniques to enhance the research and development process. Multi-oriented algorithms play a crucial role in the processing of QSAR analysis, de novo drug design, ADME evaluation, physicochemical analysis, preclinical development, followed by clinical trial data precision. In this study, we investigated the performance of several algorithms, including deep neural networks (DNN), convolutional neural networks (CNN) and multi-task learning (MTL), with the aim of generating high-quality, interpretable big and diverse databases for drug design and development. Studies have demonstrated that CNN, recurrent neural network and deep belief network are compatible, accurate and effective for the molecular description of pharmacodynamic properties. In Covid-19, existing pharmacological compounds has also been repurposed using DL models. In the absence of the Covid-19 vaccine, remdesivir and oseltamivir have been widely employed to treat severe SARS-CoV-2 infections. In conclusion, the results indicate the potential benefits of employing the DL strategies in the drug discovery process.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The COVID-19 virus has affected many people around the globe with several issues. Moreover, it causes a worldwide pandemic, and it makes more than one million deaths. Countries around the globe had to announce a complete lockdown when the corona virus causes the community to spread. In real-time, Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test is conducted to detect COVID-19, which is not effective and sensitive. Hence, this research presents the proposed Caviar-MFFO-assisted Deep LSTM scheme for COVID-19 detection. In this research, the COVID-19 cases data is utilized to process the COVID-19 detection. This method extracts the various technical indicators that improve the efficiency of COVID-19 detection. Moreover, the significant features fit for COVID-19 detection are selected using proposed mayfly with fruit fly optimization (MFFO). In addition, COVID-19 is detected by Deep Long Short Term Memory (Deep LSTM), and the Conditional Autoregressive Value at Risk MFFO (Caviar-MFFO) is modeled to train the weight of Deep LSTM. The experimental analysis reveals that the proposed Caviar-MFFO assisted Deep LSTM method provided efficient performance based on the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and achieved the recovered cases with the minimal values of 1.438 and 1.199, whereas the developed model achieved the death cases with the values of 4.582 and 2.140 for MSE and RMSE. In addition, 6.127 and 2.475 are achieved by the developed model based on infected cases.

Abstract
Chest radiography is a widely used diagnostic imaging procedure in medical practice, which involves prompt reporting of future imaging tests and diagnosis of diseases in the images. In this study, a critical phase in the radiology workflow is automated using the three convolutional neural network (CNN) models, viz. DenseNet121, ResNet50, and EfficientNetB1 for fast and accurate detection of 14 class labels of thoracic pathology diseases based on chest radiography. These models were evaluated on an AUC score for normal versus abnormal chest radiographs using 112120 chest X-ray14 datasets containing various class labels of thoracic pathology diseases to predict the probability of individual diseases and warn clinicians of potential suspicious findings. With DenseNet121, the AUROC scores for hernia and emphysema were predicted as 0.9450 and 0.9120, respectively. Compared to the score values obtained for each class on the dataset, the DenseNet121 outperformed the other two models. This article also aims to develop an automated server to capture fourteen thoracic pathology disease results using a tensor processing unit (TPU). The results of this study demonstrate that our dataset can be used to train models with high diagnostic accuracy for predicting the likelihood of 14 different diseases in abnormal chest radiographs, enabling accurate and efficient discrimination between different types of chest radiographs. This has the potential to bring benefits to various stakeholders and improve patient care.

Abstract
The outbreak of the corona virus disease (COVID-19) has changed the lives of most people on Earth. Given the high prevalence of this disease, its correct diagnosis in order to quarantine patients is of the utmost importance in the steps of fighting this pandemic. Among the various modalities used for diagnosis, medical imaging, especially computed tomography (CT) imaging, has been the focus of many previous studies due to its accuracy and availability. In addition, automation of diagnostic methods can be of great help to physicians. In this paper, a method based on pre-trained deep neural networks is presented, which, by taking advantage of a cyclic generative adversarial net (CycleGAN) model for data augmentation, has reached state-of-the-art performance for the task at hand, i.e., 99.60% accuracy. Also, in order to evaluate the method, a dataset containing 3163 images from 189 patients has been collected and labeled by physicians. Unlike prior datasets, normal data have been collected from people suspected of having COVID-19 disease and not from data from other diseases, and this database is made available publicly. Moreover, the method's reliability is further evaluated by calibration metrics, and its decision is interpreted by Grad-CAM also to find suspicious regions as another output of the method and make its decisions trustworthy and explainable.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the development of reliable diagnostic methods for accurately detecting the novel coronavirus and its variants. Deep learning (DL) techniques have shown promising potential as screening tools for COVID-19 detection. In this study, we explore the realistic development of DL-driven COVID-19 detection methods and focus on the fully automatic framework using available resources, which can effectively investigate various coronavirus variants through modalities. We conducted an exploration and comparison of several diagnostic techniques that are widely used and globally validated for the detection of COVID-19. Furthermore, we explore review-based studies that provide detailed information on synergistic medicine combinations for the treatment of COVID-19. We recommend DL methods that effectively reduce time, cost, and complexity, providing valuable guidance for utilizing available synergistic combinations in clinical and research settings. This study also highlights the implication of innovative diagnostic technical and instrumental strategies, exploring public datasets, and investigating synergistic medicines using optimised DL rules. By summarizing these findings, we aim to assist future researchers in their endeavours by providing a comprehensive overview of the implication of DL techniques in COVID-19 detection and treatment. Integrating DL methods with various diagnostic approaches holds great promise in improving the accuracy and efficiency of COVID-19 diagnostics, thus contributing to effective control and management of the ongoing pandemic.

Abstract
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan in 2019 led to the discovery of a novel coronavirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) designated it as a global pandemic on 11 March 2020 due to its rapid and widespread transmission. Its impact has had profound implications, particularly in the realm of public health. Extensive scientific endeavors have been directed towards devising effective treatment strategies and vaccines. Within the healthcare and medical imaging domain, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant advantages. This study delves into peer-reviewed research articles spanning the years 2020 to 2022, focusing on AI-driven methodologies for the analysis and screening of COVID-19 through chest CT scan data. We assess the efficacy of deep learning algorithms in facilitating decision making processes. Our exploration encompasses various facets, including data collection, systematic contributions, emerging techniques, and encountered challenges. However, the comparison of outcomes between 2020 and 2022 proves intricate due to shifts in dataset magnitudes over time. The initiatives aimed at developing AI-powered tools for the detection, localization, and segmentation of COVID-19 cases are primarily centered on educational and training contexts. We deliberate on their merits and constraints, particularly in the context of necessitating cross-population train/test models. Our analysis encompassed a review of 231 research publications, bolstered by a meta-analysis employing search keywords (COVID-19 OR Coronavirus) AND chest CT AND (deep learning OR artificial intelligence OR medical imaging) on both the PubMed Central Repository and Web of Science platforms.

Abstract
Researchers and scientists can use computational-based models to turn linked data into useful information, aiding in disease diagnosis, examination, and viral containment due to recent artificial intelligence and machine learning breakthroughs. In this paper, we extensively study the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in delivering efficient responses to the COVID-19 pandemic almost four years after its start. In this regard, we examine a large number of critical studies conducted by various academic and research communities from multiple disciplines, as well as practical implementations of artificial intelligence algorithms that suggest potential solutions in investigating different COVID-19 decision-making scenarios. We identify numerous areas where artificial intelligence and machine learning can impact this context, including diagnosis (using chest X-ray imaging and CT imaging), severity, tracking, treatment, and the drug industry. Furthermore, we analyse the dilemma's limits, restrictions, and hazards.

Abstract
The ongoing epidemic of SARS-CoV-2 is taking a substantial financial and health toll on people worldwide. Assessing the level and duration of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody (Nab) would provide key information for government to make sound healthcare policies. Assessed at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 18-month postdischarge, we described the temporal change of IgG levels in 450 individuals with moderate to critical COVID-19 infection. Moreover, a data imputation framework combined with a novel deep learning model was implemented to predict the long-term Nab and IgG levels in these patients. Demographic characteristics, inspection reports, and CT scans during hospitalization were used in this model. Interpretability of the model was further validated with Shapely Additive exPlanation (SHAP) and Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (GradCAM). IgG levels peaked at 3 months and remained stable in 12 months postdischarge, followed by a significant decline in 18 months postdischarge. However, the Nab levels declined from 6 months postdischarge. By training on the cohort of 450 patients, our long-term antibody prediction (LTAP) model could predict long-term IgG levels with relatively high area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, which far exceeds the performance achievable by commonly used models. Several prognostic factors including FDP levels, the percentages of T cells, B cells and natural killer cells, older age, sex, underlying diseases, and so forth, served as important indicators for IgG prediction. Based on these top 15 prognostic factors identified in IgG prediction, a simplified LTAP model for Nab level prediction was established and achieved an AUC of 0.828, which was 8.9% higher than MLP and 6.6% higher than LSTM. The close correlation between IgG and Nab levels making it possible to predict long-term Nab levels based on the factors selected by our LTAP model. Furthermore, our model identified that coagulation disorders and excessive immune response, which indicate disease severity, are closely related to the production of IgG and Nab. This universal model can be used as routine discharge tests to identify virus-infected individuals at risk for recurrent infection and determine the optimal timing of vaccination for general populations.

Abstract
The varieties and capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning in orthopedic surgery are extensively expanding. One promising method is neural networks, emphasizing big data and computer-based learning systems to develop a statistical fracture-detecting model. It derives patterns and rules from outstanding amounts of data to analyze the probabilities of different outcomes using new sets of similar data. The sensitivity and specificity of machine learning in detecting fractures vary from previous studies. AI may be most promising in the diagnosis of less-obvious fractures that are more commonly missed. Future studies are necessary to develop more accurate and effective detection models that can be used clinically.

Abstract
Metaphotonic devices, which enable light manipulation at a subwavelength scale and enhance light-matter interactions, have been emerging as a critical pillar in biosensing. Researchers have been attracted to metaphotonic biosensors, as they solve the limitations of the existing bioanalytical techniques, including the sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limit. Here, we briefly introduce types of metasurfaces utilized in various metaphotonic biomolecular sensing domains such as refractometry, surface-enhanced fluorescence, vibrational spectroscopy, and chiral sensing. Further, we list the prevalent working mechanisms of those metaphotonic bio-detection schemes. Furthermore, we summarize the recent progress in chip integration for metaphotonic biosensing to enable innovative point-of-care devices in healthcare. Finally, we discuss the impediments in metaphotonic biosensing, such as its cost effectiveness and treatment for intricate biospecimens, and present a prospect for potential directions for materializing these device strategies, significantly influencing clinical diagnostics in health and safety.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a fundamental role in monitoring applications; however, existing approaches relying on cloud and edge-based IoT data analysis encounter issues such as network delays and high costs, which can adversely impact time-sensitive applications. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an IoT framework called Sazgar IoT. Unlike existing solutions, Sazgar IoT leverages only IoT devices and IoT data analysis approximation techniques to meet the time-bounds of time-sensitive IoT applications. In this framework, the computing resources onboard the IoT devices are utilised to process the data analysis tasks of each time-sensitive IoT application. This eliminates the network delays associated with transferring large volumes of high-velocity IoT data to cloud or edge computers. To ensure that each task meets its application-specific time-bound and accuracy requirements, we employ approximation techniques for the data analysis tasks of time-sensitive IoT applications. These techniques take into account the available computing resources and optimise the processing accordingly. To evaluate the effectiveness of Sazgar IoT, experimental validation has been conducted. The results demonstrate that the framework successfully meets the time-bound and accuracy requirements of the COVID-19 citizen compliance monitoring application by effectively utilising the available IoT devices. The experimental validation further confirms that Sazgar IoT is an efficient and scalable solution for IoT data processing, addressing existing network delay issues for time-sensitive applications and significantly reducing the cost related to cloud and edge computing devices procurement, deployment, and maintenance.

Abstract
Deep Learning and Machine Learning are becoming more and more popular as their algorithms get progressively better, and their use is expected to have the large effect on improving the health care system. Also, the pandemic was a chance to show how adding AI to healthcare infrastructure could help, since infrastructures around the world are overworked and falling apart. These new technologies can be used to fight COVID-19 because they are flexible and can be changed. Based on these facts, we looked at how the ML and DL-based models can be used to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic problem and what the pros and cons of each are. This paper gives a full look at the different ways to find COVID-19. We looked at the COVID-19 issues in a systematic way and then rated the methods and techniques for finding it based on their availability, ease of use, accuracy, and cost. We have also shown in pictures how well each of the detection techniques works. We did a comparison of different detection models based on the above factors. This helps researchers understand the different methods and the pros and cons of using them as the basis for their research. In the last part, we talk about the open challenges and research questions that come with putting these techniques together with other detection methods.

Abstract
The global economy has suffered losses as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. Accurate and effective predictive models are necessary for the governance and readiness of the healthcare system and its resources and, ultimately, for the prevention of the spread of illness. The primary objective of the project is to build a robust, universal method for predicting COVID-19-positive cases. Collaborators will benefit from this while developing and revising their pandemic response plans. For accurate prediction of the spread of COVID-19, the research recommends an adaptive gradient LSTM model (AGLSTM) using multivariate time series data. RNN, LSTM, LASSO regression, Ada-Boost, Light Gradient Boosting and KNN models are also used in the research, which accurately and reliably predict the course of this unpleasant disease. The proposed technique is evaluated under two different experimental conditions. The former uses case studies from India to validate the methodology, while the latter uses data fusion and transfer-learning techniques to reuse data and models to predict the onset of COVID-19. The model extracts important advanced features that influence the COVID-19 cases using a convolutional neural network and predicts the cases using adaptive LSTM after CNN processes the data. The experiment results show that the output of AGLSTM outperforms with an accuracy of 99.81% and requires only a short time for training and prediction.

Abstract
The face mask detection system has been a valuable tool to combat COVID-19 by preventing its rapid transmission. This article demonstrated that the present deep learning-based face mask detection systems are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. We proposed a framework for a robust face mask detection system that is resistant to adversarial attacks. We first developed a face mask detection system by fine-tuning the MobileNetv2 model and training it on the custom-built dataset. The model performed exceptionally well, achieving 95.83% of accuracy on test data. Then, the model's performance is assessed using adversarial images calculated by the fast gradient sign method (FGSM). The FGSM attack reduced the model's classification accuracy from 95.83% to 14.53%, indicating that the adversarial attack on the proposed model severely damaged its performance. Finally, we illustrated that the proposed robust framework enhanced the model's resistance to adversarial attacks. Although there was a notable drop in the accuracy of the robust model on unseen clean data from 95.83% to 92.79%, the model performed exceptionally well, improving the accuracy from 14.53% to 92% on adversarial data. We expect our research to heighten awareness of adversarial attacks on COVID-19 monitoring systems and inspire others to protect healthcare systems from similar attacks.

Advanced mathematical and deep learning (DL) algorithms have recently played a crucial role in diagnosing medical parameters and diseases. One of these areas that need to be more focused on is dentistry. This is why creating digital twins of dental issues in the metaverse is a practical and effective technique to benefit from the immersive characteristics of this technology and adapt the real world of dentistry to the virtual world. These technologies can create virtual facilities and environments for patients, physicians, and researchers to access a variety of medical services. Experiencing an immersive interaction between doctors and patients can be another considerable advantage of these technologies, which can dramatically improve the efficiency of the healthcare system. In addition, offering these amenities through a blockchain system enhances reliability, safety, openness, and the ability to trace data exchange. It also brings about cost savings through improved efficiencies. In this paper, a digital twin of cervical vertebral maturation (CVM), which is a critical factor in a wide range of dental surgery, within a blockchain-based metaverse platform is designed and implemented. A DL method has been used to create an automated diagnosis process for the upcoming CVM images in the proposed platform. This method includes MobileNetV2, a mobile architecture that improves the performance of mobile models in multiple tasks and benchmarks. The proposed technique of digital twinning is simple, fast, and suitable for physicians and medical specialists, as well as for adapting to the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) due to its low latency and computing costs. One of the important contributions of the current study is to use of DL-based computer vision as a real-time measurement method so that the proposed digital twin does not require additional sensors. Furthermore, a comprehensive conceptual framework for creating digital twins of CVM based on MobileNetV2 within a blockchain ecosystem has been designed and implemented, showing the applicability and suitability of the introduced approach. The high performance of the proposed model on a collected small dataset demonstrates that low-cost deep learning can be used for diagnosis, anomaly detection, better design, and many more applications of the upcoming digital representations. In addition, this study shows how digital twins can be performed and developed for dental issues with the lowest hardware infrastructures, reducing the costs of diagnosis and treatment for patients.

Sunnetci KM, Alkan A. Biphasic majority voting-based comparative COVID-19 diagnosis using chest X-ray images. EXPERT SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS 2023; 216:119430. [PMID: 36570382 PMCID: PMC9767662 DOI: 10.1016/j.eswa.2022.119430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting the world since December 2019, and nowadays, the number of infected is increasing rapidly. Chest X-ray images are clinical adjuncts that can be used in the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease. Because of the rapid spread of COVID-19 disease worldwide and the limited number of expert radiologists, the proposed method uses the automatic diagnosis method rather than a manual diagnosis method. In the paper, COVID-19 Positive/Negative (2275 Positive, 4626 Negative) and Normal/Pneumonia (2313 Normal, 2313 Pneumonia) are diagnosed using chest X-ray images. Herein, 80 % and 20 % of the images are used in the training and validation set, respectively. In the proposed method, six different classifiers are trained using chest X-ray images, and the five most successful classifiers are used in both phases. In Phase-1 and Phase-2, image features are extracted using the Bag of Features method for Cosine K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Linear Discriminant, Logistic Regression, Bagged Trees Ensemble, Medium Gaussian Support Vector Machine (SVM), excluding SqueezeNet Deep Learning (K = 2000 and K = 1500 for Phase-1 and Phase-2, respectively). In both phases, the five most successful classifiers are determined, and images classify with the help of the Majority Voting (Mathematical Evaluation) method. The application of the proposed method is designed for users to diagnose COVID-19 Positive, Normal, and Pneumonia. The results show that accuracy values obtained by Majority Voting (Mathematical Evaluation) method for Phase-1 and Phase-2 are equal to 99.86 % and 99.28 %, respectively. Thus, it indicates that the accuracy of the whole system is 99.63 %. When we analyze the classification performance metrics for Phase-1 and Phase-2, Specificity (%), Precision (%), Recall (%), F1 Score (%), Area Under Curve (AUC), and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) are equal to 99.98-99.83-99.07-99.51-0.9974-0.9855 and 99.73-99.69-98.63-99.23-0.9928-0.9518, respectively. Moreover, if the classification performance metrics of the whole system are examined, it is seen that Specificity (%), Precision (%), Recall (%), F1 Score (%), AUC, and MCC are 99.88, 99.78, 98.90, 99.40, 0.9956, and 0.9720, respectively. When the studies in the literature are examined, the results show that the proposed model is better than its counterparts. Because the best performance metrics for the dataset used were obtained in this study. In addition, since the biphasic majority voting technique is used in the study, it is seen that the proposed model is more reliable. On the other hand, although there are tens of thousands of studies on this subject, the usability of these models is debatable since most of them do not have graphical user interface applications. Already, in artificial intelligence technologies, besides the performance of the developed models, their usability is also important. Because the developed models can generally be used by people who are less knowledgeable about artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Medical digital twins, which represent medical assets, play a crucial role in connecting the physical world to the metaverse, enabling patients to access virtual medical services and experience immersive interactions with the real world. One serious disease that can be diagnosed and treated using this technology is cancer. However, the digitalization of such diseases for use in the metaverse is a highly complex process. To address this, this study aims to use machine learning (ML) techniques to create real-time and reliable digital twins of cancer for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The study focuses on four classical ML techniques that are simple and fast for medical specialists without extensive Artificial Intelligence (AI) knowledge, and meet the requirements of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in terms of latency and cost. The case study focuses on breast cancer (BC), the second most prevalent form of cancer worldwide. The study also presents a comprehensive conceptual framework to illustrate the process of creating digital twins of cancer, and demonstrates the feasibility and reliability of these digital twins in monitoring, diagnosing, and predicting medical parameters.

World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:2050-2063. [PMID: 37155526 PMCID: PMC10122789 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i13.2050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a disease spectrum ranging from mild to severe disease. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, numerous reports of AP have been published, with most authors concluding a causal relationship between COVID-19 and AP. Retrospective case reports or small case series are unable to accurately determine the cause-effect relationship between COVID-19 and AP.
AIM To establish whether COVID-19 is a cause of AP using the modified Naranjo scoring system.
METHODS A systematic review was conducted on PubMed, World of Science and Embase for articles reporting COVID-19 and AP from inception to August 2021. Exclusion criteria were cases of AP which were not reported to be due to COVID-19 infection, age < 18 years old, review articles and retrospective cohort studies. The original 10-item Naranjo scoring system (total score 13) was devised to approximate the likelihood of a clinical presentation to be secondary to an adverse drug reaction. We modified the original scoring system into a 8-item modified Naranjo scoring system (total score 9) to determine the cause-effect relationship between COVID-19 and AP. A cumulative score was decided for each case presented in the included articles. Interpretation of the modified Naranjo scoring system is as follows: ≤ 3: Doubtful, 4-6: Possible, ≥ 7: Probable cause.
RESULTS The initial search resulted in 909 articles, with 740 articles after removal of duplicates. A total of 67 articles were included in the final analysis, with 76 patients which had AP reported to be due to COVID-19. The mean age was 47.8 (range 18-94) years. Majority of patients (73.3%) had ≤ 7 d between onset of COVID-19 infection and diagnosis of AP. There were only 45 (59.2%) patients who had adequate investigations to rule out common aetiologies (gallstones, choledocholithiasis, alcohol, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercalcemia and trauma) of AP. Immunoglobulin G4 testing was conducted in 9 (13.5%) patients to rule out autoimmune AP. Only 5 (6.6%) patients underwent endoscopic ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogram to rule out occult microlithiasis, pancreatic malignancy and pancreas divisum. None of the patients had other recently diagnosed viral infections apart from COVID-19 infection, or underwent genetic testing to rule out hereditary AP. There were 32 (42.1%), 39 (51.3%) and 5 (6.6%) patients with doubtful, possible, and probable cause-effect relationship respectively between COVID-19 and AP.
CONCLUSION Current evidence is weak to establish a strong link between COVID-19 and AP. Investigations should be performed to rule out other causes of AP before establishing COVID-19 as an aetiology.

Abstract
The major challenge in today's world is that medical research is facing the existence of a vast number of viruses and their mutations, which from time to time cause outbreaks. Also, the continuous and spontaneous mutations occurring in the viruses and the emergence of resistant virus strains have become serious medical hazards. So, in view of the growing number of diseases, like the recent COVID-19 pandemic that has caused the deaths of millions of people, there is a need to improve rapid and sensitive diagnostic strategies to initiate timely treatment for such conditions. In the cases like COVID-19, where a real cure due to erratic and ambiguous signs is not available, early intervention can be life-saving. In the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries, nanotechnology has evolved exponentially and can overcome multiple obstacles in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. Nanotechnology has developed exponentially in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields and can overcome numerous challenges in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. At the nano stage, the molecular properties of materials such as gold, silver, carbon, silica, and polymers get altered and can be used for the creation of reliable and accurate diagnostic techniques. This review provides insight into numerous diagnostic approaches focused on nanoparticles that could have been established for quick and early detection of such diseases.

Due to the enormous success of big data analytics, the healthcare sector is increasingly shifting toward adopting these approaches to diagnose diseases. Due to the recent boom in medical big data and the development of computational methods, researchers and practitioners have gained the ability to mine and visualize medical big data on a larger scale. Thus, with the aid of integration of big data analytics in healthcare sectors, precise medical data analysis is now feasible with early sickness detection, health status monitoring, patient treatment, and community services is now achievable. With all these improvements, a deadly disease COVID is considered in this comprehensive review with the intention of offering remedies utilizing big data analytics. The use of big data applications is vital to managing pandemic conditions, such as predicting outbreaks of COVID-19 and identifying cases and patterns of spread of COVID-19. Research is still being done on leveraging big data analytics to forecast COVID-19. But precise and early identification of COVID disease is still lacking due to the volume of medical records like dissimilar medical imaging modalities. Meanwhile, Digital imaging has now become essential to COVID diagnosis, but the main challenge is the storage of massive volumes of data. Taking these limitations into account, a comprehensive analysis is presented in the systematic literature review (SLR) to provide a deeper understanding of big data in the field of COVID-19.

Abstract
The COVID-19 virus has impacted all facets of our lives. As a global response to this threat, vaccination programmes have been initiated and administered in numerous nations. The question remains, however, as to whether mass vaccination programmes result in a decrease in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases. In this study, we aim to predict the future number of COVID-19 confirmed cases for the top ten countries with the highest number of vaccinations in the world. A well-known Deep Learning method for time series analysis, namely, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, is applied as the prediction method. Using three evaluation metrics, i.e., Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), we found that the model built by using LSTM networks could give a good prediction of the future number and trend of COVID-19 confirmed cases in the considered countries. Two different scenarios are employed, namely: 'All Time', which includes all historical data; and 'Before Vaccination', which excludes data collected after the mass vaccination programme began. The average MAPE scores for the 'All Time' and 'Before Vaccination' scenarios are 5.977% and 10.388%, respectively. Overall, the results show that the mass vaccination programme has a positive impact on decreasing and controlling the spread of the COVID-19 disease in those countries, as evidenced by decreasing future trends after the programme was implemented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The postoperative follow-up of a patient after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) requires regular evaluation of the condition of the knee through interpretation of X-rays. This rigorous analysis requires expertize, time, and methodical standardization. Our work evaluated the use of an artificial intelligence tool, X-TKA, to assist surgeons in their interpretation. METHODS A series of 12 convolutional neural networks were trained on a large database containing 39,751 X-ray images. These algorithms are able to determine examination quality, identify image characteristics, assess prosthesis sizing and positioning, measure knee-prosthesis alignment angles, and detect anomalies in the bone-cement-implant complex. The individual interpretations of a pool of senior surgeons with and without the assistance of X-TKA were evaluated on a reference dataset built in consensus by senior surgeons. RESULTS The algorithms obtained a mean area under the curve value of 0.98 on the quality assurance and the image characteristics tasks. They reached a mean difference for the predicted angles of 1.71° (standard deviation, 1.53°), similar to the surgeon average difference of 1.69° (standard deviation, 1.52°). The comparative analysis showed that the assistance of X-TKA allowed surgeons to gain 5% in accuracy and 12% in sensitivity in the detection of interface anomalies. Moreover, this study demonstrated a gain in repeatability for each single surgeon (Light's kappa +0.17), as well as a gain in the reproducibility between surgeons (Light's kappa +0.1). CONCLUSION This study highlights the benefit of using an intelligent artificial tool for a standardized interpretation of postoperative knee X-rays and indicates the potential for its use in clinical practice.

Abstract
After the outbreak of Covid-19, the European Commission (EC) promptly took the initiative to lead and coordinate a common European response. The actions unfolded in several directions, paving the way to the uptake of AI-related solutions and placing hope in these tools to face crises, namely of a public health and global nature. In this article, we focus on initiatives for the uptake of AI-related solutions from the experimental level towards implementation. The Repository of AI and Robotics solutions, launched in 2020, is an example of an initiative put forth to leverage and disseminate knowledge on AI, expanding the fields of application and fostering the development and adaptation of cutting-edge technologies to explore how they can assist in tackling specific tasks during a public health crisis. Using this database, the article outlines the promise of AI as a hope for handling specific needs and tasks and how the uptake of such technologies was accelerated during the Covid-19 pandemic. In extension, we frame initiatives for the uptake of AI-enabled solutions from a governance perspective, focusing on the establishment of frameworks for ethical and trustworthy AI by defining principles and standards that aim to protect the underlying values deemed fundamental.

Abstract
Background The rapid prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a pandemic worldwide and affected the lives of millions. The potential fatality of the disease has led to global public health concerns. Apart from clinical practice, artificial intelligence (AI) has provided a new model for the early diagnosis and prediction of disease based on machine learning (ML) algorithms. In this study, we aimed to make a prediction model for the prognosis of COVID-19 patients using data mining techniques. Methods In this study, a data set was obtained from the intelligent management system repository of 19 hospitals at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran. All patients admitted had shown positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results. They were hospitalized between February 19 and May 12 in 2020, which were investigated in this study. The extracted data set has 8621 data instances. The data include demographic information and results of 16 laboratory tests. In the first stage, preprocessing was performed on the data. Then, among 15 laboratory tests, four of them were selected. The models were created based on seven data mining algorithms, and finally, the performances of the models were compared with each other. Results Based on our results, the Random Forest (RF) and Gradient Boosted Trees models were known as the most efficient methods, with the highest accuracy percentage of 86.45% and 84.80%, respectively. In contrast, the Decision Tree exhibited the least accuracy (75.43%) among the seven models. Conclusion Data mining methods have the potential to be used for predicting outcomes of COVID-19 patients with the use of lab tests and demographic features. After validating these methods, they could be implemented in clinical decision support systems for better management and providing care to severe COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
Background and Aim Coronavirus is an infectious disease that is now known as an epidemic, early and accurate diagnosis helps the patient receive more care. The aim of this study is to investigate Covid-19 using blood tests and multilayer perceptron neural network and affective factors in improving and preventing Covid-19. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on 200 patients referred to Sina Hospital, Tehran, Iran, who were confirmed cases of Covid-19 by computerized tomography-scan analysis between 2 March 2020 to 5 April 2020. After verification of lung involvement, blood sampling was done to separate the sera for C-reactive protein (CRP), magnesium (Mg), lymphocyte percentage, and vitamin D analysis in healthy and unhealthy people. Blood samples from healthy and sick people were applied to the multilayer perceptron network for 70% of the data for training and 30% for testing. Result By examining the features, it was found that in patients with Covid-19, there was a significant relationship between increased CRP and decreased lymphocyte levels, and increased Mg (p < 0.01). In these patients, the amount of CRP and Mg in women and the number of lymphocytes and vitamin D in men were significantly higher (p < 0.01). Conclusion The important advantage of using a multilayer perceptron neural network is to speed up the diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Purpose Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) had major social, medical, and economic impacts globally. The study aims to develop a deep-learning model that can predict the severity of COVID-19 in patients based on CT images of their lungs. Methods COVID-19 causes lung infections, and qRT-PCR is an essential tool used to detect virus infection. However, qRT-PCR is inadequate for detecting the severity of the disease and the extent to which it affects the lung. In this paper, we aim to determine the severity level of COVID-19 by studying lung CT scans of people diagnosed with the virus. Results We used images from King Abdullah University Hospital in Jordan; we collected our dataset from 875 cases with 2205 CT images. A radiologist classified the images into four levels of severity: normal, mild, moderate, and severe. We used various deep-learning algorithms to predict the severity of lung diseases. The results show that the best deep-learning algorithm used is Resnet101, with an accuracy score of 99.5% and a data loss rate of 0.03%. Conclusion The proposed model assisted in diagnosing and treating COVID-19 patients and helped improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
COVID-19 is a global pandemic that mostly affects patients' respiratory systems, and the only way to protect oneself against the virus at present moment is to diagnose the illness, isolate the patient, and provide immunization. In the present situation, the testing used to predict COVID-19 is inefficient and results in more false positives. This difficulty can be solved by developing a remote medical decision support system that detects illness using CT scans or X-ray images with less manual interaction and is less prone to errors. The state-of-art techniques mainly used complex deep learning architectures which are not quite effective when deployed in resource-constrained edge devices. To overcome this problem, a multi-objective Modified Heat Transfer Search (MOMHTS) optimized hybrid Random Forest Deep learning (HRFDL) classifier is proposed in this paper. The MOMHTS algorithm mainly optimizes the deep learning model in the HRFDL architecture by optimizing the hyperparameters associated with it to support the resource-constrained edge devices. To evaluate the efficiency of this technique, extensive experimentation is conducted on two real-time datasets namely the COVID19 lung CT scan dataset and the Chest X-ray images (Pneumonia) datasets. The proposed methodology mainly offers increased speed for communication between the IoT devices and COVID-19 detection via the MOMHTS optimized HRFDL classifier is modified to support the resources which can only support minimal computation and handle minimum storage. The proposed methodology offers an accuracy of 99% for both the COVID19 lung CT scan dataset and the Chest X-ray images (Pneumonia) datasets with minimal computational time, cost, and storage. Based on the simulation outcomes, we can conclude that the proposed methodology is an appropriate fit for edge computing detection to identify the COVID19 and pneumonia with higher detection accuracy.

Abstract
Anomalous event recognition has a complicated definition in the complex background due to the sparse occurrence of anomalies. In this paper, we form a framework for classifying multiple anomalies present in video frames that happen in a context such as the sudden moment of people in various directions and anomalous vehicles in the pedestrian park. An attention U-net model on video frames is utilized to create a binary segmented anomalous image that classifies each anomalous object in the video. White pixels indicate the anomaly, and black pixels serve as the background image. For better segmentation, we have assigned a border to every anomalous object in a binary image. Further to distinguish each anomaly a watershed algorithm is utilized that develops multi-level gray image masks for every anomalous class. This forms a multi-class problem, where each anomalous instance is represented by a different gray color level. We use pixel values, Optical Intensity, entropy values, and Gaussian filter with sigma 5, and 7 to form a feature extraction module for training video images along with their multi-instance gray-level masks. Pixel-level localization and identification of unusual items are done using the feature vectors acquired from the feature extraction module and multi-class stack classifier model. The proposed methodology is evaluated on UCSD Ped1, Ped2 and UMN datasets that obtain pixel-level average accuracy results of 81.15%,87.26% and 82.67% respectively.
