Residual Learning Diagnosis Detection: An Advanced Residual Learning Diagnosis Detection System for COVID-19 in Industrial Internet of Things.

Due to the fast transmission speed and severe health damage, COVID-19 has attracted global attention. Early diagnosis and isolation are effective and imperative strategies for epidemic prevention and control. Most diagnostic methods for the COVID-19 is based on nucleic acid testing (NAT), which is expensive and time-consuming. To build an efficient and valid alternative of NAT, this article investigates the feasibility of employing computed tomography images of lungs as the diagnostic signals. Unlike normal lungs, parts of the lungs infected with the COVID-19 developed lesions, ground-glass opacity, and bronchiectasis became apparent. Through a public dataset, in this article, we propose an advanced residual learning diagnosis detection (RLDD) scheme for the COVID-19 technique, which is designed to distinguish positive COVID-19 cases from heterogeneous lung images. Besides the advantage of high diagnosis effectiveness, the designed residual-based COVID-19 detection network can efficiently extract the lung features through small COVID-19 samples, which removes the pretraining requirement on other medical datasets. In the test set, we achieve an accuracy of 91.33%, a precision of 91.30%, and a recall of 90%. For the batch of 150 samples, the assessment time is only 4.7 s. Therefore, RLDD can be integrated into the application programming interface and embedded into the medical instrument to improve the detection efficiency of COVID-19.

MFS-DBF: A trustworthy multichannel feature sieve and decision boundary formulation system for Obstructive Sleep Apnea detection.

The fine identification of sleep apnea events is instrumental in Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) diagnosis. The development of sleep apnea event detection algorithms based on polysomnography is becoming a research hotspot in medical signal processing. In this paper, we propose an Inverse-Projection based Visualization System (IPVS) for sleep apnea event detection algorithms. The IPVS consists of a feature dimensionality reduction module and a feature reconstruction module. First, features of blood oxygen saturation and nasal airflow are extracted and used as input data for event analysis. Then, visual analysis is conducted on the feature distribution for apnea events. Next, dimensionality reduction and reconstruction methods are combined to achieve the dynamic visualization of sleep apnea event feature sets and the visual analysis of classifier decision boundaries. Moreover, the decision-making consistency is explored for various sleep apnea event detection classifiers, which provides researchers and users with an intuitive understanding of the detection algorithm. We applied the IPVS to an OSA detection algorithm with an accuracy of 84% and a diagnostic accuracy of 92% on a publicly available dataset. The experimental results show that the consistency between our visualization results and prior medical knowledge provides strong evidence for the practicality of the proposed system. For clinical practice, the IPVS can guide users to focus on samples with higher uncertainty presented by the OSA detection algorithm, reducing the workload and improving the efficiency of clinical diagnosis, which in turn increases the value of trust.
