A novel universal deep learning approach for accurate detection of epilepsy.

Epilepsy claims the lives of many people, so researchers strive to build highly accurate diagnostic models. One of the limitations of obtaining high accuracy is the scarcity of Electroencephalography (EEG) data and the fact that they are from different devices in terms of the channels number and sampling frequency. The paper proposes universal epilepsy diagnoses with high accuracy from electroencephalography signals taken from any device. The novelty of the proposal is to convert VEEG video into images, separating some parts and unifying images taken from different devices. The images were tested by dividing the video into labeled frames of different periods. By adding the spatial attention layer to the deep learning in the new model, classification accuracy increased to 99.95 %, taking five seconds/frame. The proposed has high accuracy in detecting epilepsy from any EEG without being restricted to a specific number of channels or sampling frequencies.

Cough/X-ray/CT (CXC) website for testing COVID-19 and auto-informing results.

Despite the development of vaccines and the emergence of various treatments for COVID-19, the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is increasing worldwide, and it is unlikely that the disease will ever disappear completely. Having a non-contact remote testing system can improve the workload of health-care centers and contribute to reducing the infection by recommending early self-isolation for those who suffer from a cough. In the proposed system, patients can upload an audio cough recording via mobile phones through the suggested Cough/X-ray/CT website and then receive the diagnosis within seconds on the same phone. Moreover, in the case of infection, the health center and the community are informed in addition to automatically calling the mobile phones of the injured cases. The higher proposed accuracy with deep cough training was achieved on the ResNet152v2 model after converting the cough signal into an image using the Mel-spectrogram, where the accuracy was 99.95%, the sensitivity was 100%, and the specificity was 99%.

Auto informing COVID-19 detection result from x-ray/CT images based on deep learning.

It is no secret to all that the corona pandemic has caused a decline in all aspects of the world. Therefore, offering an accurate automatic diagnostic system is very important. This paper proposed an accurate COVID-19 system by testing various deep learning models for x-ray/computed tomography (CT) medical images. A deep preprocessing procedure was done with two filters and segmentation to increase classification results. According to the results obtained, 99.94% of accuracy, 98.70% of sensitivity, and 100% of specificity scores were obtained by the Xception model in the x-ray dataset and the InceptionV3 model for CT scan images. The compared results have demonstrated that the proposed model is proven to be more successful than the deep learning algorithms in previous studies. Moreover, it has the ability to automatically notify the examination results to the patients, the health authority, and the community after taking any x-ray or CT images.
