With the aging of the population, a key concern of both societies and health services is to keep the population cognitively healthy until the maximum age limit. It is a well-known fact that vascular aging has a negative effect on the cognitive skills of adults, putting them at greater risk of developing dementia. The present longitudinal study aimed to evaluate the main dimensions of cognition in two pathological groups with different health profiles: a group of adults with vascular risk factors (VRF) (n = 35) and a group of adults with vascular risk factors and mild cognitive impairment (VRF + MCI) (n = 35)...

The growing number of depressive people and the overload in primary care services make it necessary to identify depressive states with easily accessible biomarkers such as mobile electroencephalography (EEG). Some studies have addressed this issue by collecting and analyzing EEG resting state in a search of appropriate features and classification methods. Traditionally, EEG resting state classification methods for depression were mainly based on linear or a combination of linear and non-linear features. We hypothesize that participants with ongoing depressive states differ from controls in complex patterns of brain dynamics that can be captured in EEG resting state data, using only nonlinear measures on a few electrodes, making it possible to develop cheap and wearable devices that could be even monitored through smartphones...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Alzheimer's disease accounts for approximately 70% of all dementia cases. Cortical and hippocampal atrophy caused by Alzheimer's disease can be appreciated easily from a T1-weighted structural magnetic resonance scan. Since a timely therapeutic intervention during the initial stages of the syndrome has a positive impact on both disease progression and quality of life of affected subjects, Alzheimer's disease diagnosis is crucial. Thus, this study relies on the development of a robust yet lightweight 3D framework, Brain-on-Cloud, dedicated to efficient learning of Alzheimer's disease-related features from 3D structural magnetic resonance whole-brain scans by improving our recent convolutional long short-term memory-based framework with the integration of a set of data handling techniques in addition to the tuning of the model hyper-parameters and the evaluation of its diagnostic performance on independent test data...

BACKGROUND: Confusion and hallucinations in geriatric patients are frequent symptoms and typically associated with delirium, late-life psychosis or dementia syndromes. A far rarer but well-established differential in patients with rapid cognitive deterioration, acute psychosis, abnormal movements and seizures is autoimmune encephalitis. Exemplified by our case we highlight clinical and economic problems arising in management of geriatric patients with cognitive decline and psychotic symptoms...

In this study, a deep learning model (deepPLM) is shown to automatically detect periodic limb movement syndrome (PLMS) based on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The designed deepPLM model consists of four 1D convolutional layers, two long short-term memory units, and a fully connected layer. The Osteoporotic Fractures in Men sleep (MrOS) study dataset was used to construct the model, including training, validating, and testing the model. A single-lead ECG signal of the polysomnographic recording was used for each of the 52 subjects (26 controls and 26 patients) in the MrOS dataset...

Background: Object detection is a new artificial intelligence approach to morphological recognition and labeling parasitic pathogens. Due to the lack of equipment and trained personnel, artificial intelligence innovation for searching various parasitic products in stool examination will enable patients in remote areas of undeveloped countries to access diagnostic services. Because object detection is a developing approach that has been tested for its effectiveness in detecting intestinal parasitic objects such as protozoan cysts and helminthic eggs, it is suitable for use in rural areas where many factors supporting laboratory testing are still lacking...

BACKGROUND: Biomarkers for the early detection of dementia risk hold promise for better disease monitoring and targeted interventions. However, most biomarker studies, particularly in neuroimaging, have analysed artificially 'clean' research groups, free from comorbidities, erroneous referrals, contraindications and from a narrow sociodemographic pool. Such biases mean that neuroimaging samples are often unrepresentative of the target population for dementia risk (e.g., people referred to a memory clinic), limiting the generalisation of these studies to real-world clinical settings...

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) represents up to 85% of all malignant lung nodules. Adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma account for 90% of all NSCLC histotypes. The standard diagnostic procedure for NSCLC histotype characterization implies cooperation of 3D Computed Tomography (CT), especially in the form of low-dose CT, and lung biopsy. Since lung biopsy is invasive and challenging (especially for deeply-located lung cancers and for those close to blood vessels or airways), there is the necessity to develop non-invasive procedures for NSCLC histology classification...
