Comput Biol Med 2024; 179:108874. [PMID: 39013343 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2024.108874] [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: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
Smart healthcare has advanced the medical industry with the integration of data-driven approaches. Artificial intelligence and machine learning provided remarkable progress, but there is a lack of transparency and interpretability in such applications. To overcome such limitations, explainable AI (EXAI) provided a promising result. This paper applied the EXAI for disease diagnosis in the advancement of smart healthcare. The paper combined the approach of transfer learning, vision transformer, and explainable AI and designed an ensemble approach for prediction of disease and its severity. The result is evaluated on a dataset of Alzheimer's disease. The result analysis compared the performance of transfer learning models with the ensemble model of transfer learning and vision transformer. For training, InceptionV3, VGG19, Resnet50, and Densenet121 transfer learning models were selected for ensembling with vision transformer. The result compares the performance of two models: a transfer learning (TL) model and an ensemble transfer learning (Ensemble TL) model combined with vision transformer (ViT) on ADNI dataset. For the TL model, the accuracy is 58 %, precision is 52 %, recall is 42 %, and the F1-score is 44 %. Whereas, the Ensemble TL model with ViT shows significantly improved performance i.e., 96 % of accuracy, 94 % of precision, 90 % of recall and 92 % of F1-score on ADNI dataset. This shows the efficacy of the ensemble model over transfer learning models.

The landscape of healthcare diagnostics is about to be redefined by the integration of various technologies, especially when it comes to illnesses related to the brain. NEW METHOD A novel approach has been proposed in this study comprising of Xception architecture which is trained on imagenet database following transfer learning process for extraction of significant features from magnetic resonance imaging dataset acquired from publicly available distinct sources as an input and linear support vector machine has been used for distinguishing distinct classes.Afterwards, gradient-weighted class activation mapping has been deployed as the foundation for explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for generating informative heatmaps, representing spatial localization of features which were focused to achieve model's predictions. RESULTS Thus, the proposed model not only provides accurate outcomes but also provides transparency for the predictions generated by the Xception network to diagnose presence of abnormal tissues and avoids overfitting issues. Hyperparameters along with performance-metrics are also obtained while validating the proposed network on unseen brain MRI scans to ensure effectiveness of the proposed network. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHODS AND CONCLUSIONS The integration of Grad-CAM based explainable artificial intelligence with deep neural network namely Xception offers a significant impact in diagnosing brain tumor disease while highlighting the specific regions of input brain MRI images responsible for making predictions. In this study, the proposed network results in 98.92% accuracy, 98.15% precision, 99.09% sensitivity, 98.18% specificity and 98.91% dice-coefficient while identifying presence of abnormal tissues in the brain.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in the field of neurology, significantly impacting the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. Recent technological breakthroughs have given us access to a plethora of information relevant to many aspects of neurology. Neuroscience and AI share a long history of collaboration. Along with great potential, we encounter obstacles relating to data quality, ethics, and inherent difficulty in applying data science in healthcare. Neurological disorders pose intricate challenges due to their complex manifestations and variability. Automating image interpretation tasks, AI algorithms accurately identify brain structures and detect abnormalities. This accelerates diagnosis and reduces the workload on medical professionals. Treatment optimization benefits from AI simulations that model different scenarios and predict outcomes. These AI systems can currently perform many of the sophisticated perceptual and cognitive capacities of biological systems, such as object identification and decision making. Furthermore, AI is rapidly being used as a tool in neuroscience research, altering our understanding of brain functioning. It has the ability to revolutionize healthcare as we know it into a system in which humans and robots collaborate to deliver better care for our patients. Image analysis activities such as recognizing particular brain regions, calculating changes in brain volume over time, and detecting abnormalities in brain scans can be automated by AI systems. This lessens the strain on radiologists and neurologists while improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. It is now obvious that cutting-edge artificial intelligence models combined with high-quality clinical data will lead to enhanced prognostic and diagnostic models in neurological illness, permitting expert-level clinical decision aids across healthcare settings. In conclusion, AI's integration into neurology has revolutionized diagnosis, treatment, and research. As AI technologies advance, they promise to unravel the complexities of neurological disorders further, leading to improved patient care and quality of life. The symbiosis of AI and neurology offers a glimpse into a future where innovation and compassion converge to reshape neurological healthcare.

Abstract
ABSTRACT As teleheath becomes integrated into the practice of medicine, it is important to understand the benefits, limitations, and variety of applications. Telestroke was an early example of teleneurology that arose from a need for urgent access to neurologists for time-sensitive treatments for stroke. It made a scarce resource widely available via video conferencing technologies. Additionally, applications such as outpatient video visits, electronic consultation (e-consult), and wearable devices developed in neurology, as well. Telehealth dramatically increased during the COVID-19 pandemic when offices were closed and hospitals were overwhelmed; a multitude of both outpatient and inpatient programs developed and matured during this time. It is helpful to explore what has been learned regarding the quality of telehealth, disparities in care, and how artificial intelligence can interact with medical practices in the teleneurology context.

Abstract
Stroke represents a core area of study in neurosciences and public health due to its global contribution toward mortality and disability. The intricate pathophysiology of stroke, including ischemic and hemorrhagic events, involves the interruption in oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain. Disruption of these crucial processes in the central nervous system leads to metabolic dysregulation and cell death. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can simultaneously measure total protein and lipid content along with a number of key biomarkers within brain tissue that cannot be observed using conventional techniques. FTIR imaging provides the opportunity to visualize this information in tissue which has not been chemically treated prior to analysis, thus retaining the spatial distribution and in situ chemical information. Here we present a review of FTIR imaging methods for investigating the biomarker responses in the post-stroke brain.

Abstract
Migraine is a burdensome neurological disorder that still lacks clear and easily accessible diagnostic biomarkers. Furthermore, a straightforward pathway is hard to find for migraineurs' management, so the search for response predictors has become urgent. Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) has pervaded almost every aspect of our lives, and medicine has not been missed. Its applications are nearly limitless, and the ability to use machine learning approaches has given researchers a chance to give huge amounts of data new insights. When it comes to migraine, AI may play a fundamental role, helping clinicians and patients in many ways. For example, AI-based models can increase diagnostic accuracy, especially for non-headache specialists, and may help in correctly classifying the different groups of patients. Moreover, AI models analysing brain imaging studies reveal promising results in identifying disease biomarkers. Regarding migraine management, AI applications showed value in identifying outcome measures, the best treatment choices, and therapy response prediction. In the present review, the authors introduce the various and most recent clinical applications of AI regarding migraine.
