Automated Detection of Infection in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Images Using Convolutional Neural Network.

A bacterial or bone infection in the feet causes diabetic foot infection (DFI), which results in reddish skin in the wound and surrounding area. DFI is the most prevalent and dangerous type of diabetic mellitus. It will mainly occur in people with heart disease, renal illness, or eye disease. The clinical signs and symptoms of local inflammation are used to diagnose diabetic foot infection. In assessing diabetic foot ulcers, the infection has significant clinical implications in predicting the likelihood of amputation. In this work, a diabetic foot infection network (DFINET) is proposed to assess infection and no infection from diabetic foot ulcer images. A DFINET consists of 22 layers with a unique parallel convolution layer with ReLU, a normalization layer, and a fully connected layer with a dropout connection. Experiments have shown that the DFINET, when combined with this technique and improved image augmentation, should yield promising results in infection recognition, with an accuracy of 91.98%, and a Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.84 on binary classification. Such enhancements to existing methods shows that the suggested approach can assist medical experts in automated detection of DFI.

Gastrointestinal Tract Disease Classification from Wireless Endoscopy Images Using Pretrained Deep Learning Model.

Wireless capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive wireless imaging technology that becomes increasingly popular in recent years. One of the major drawbacks of this technology is that it generates a large number of photos that must be analyzed by medical personnel, which takes time. Various research groups have proposed different image processing and machine learning techniques to classify gastrointestinal tract diseases in recent years. Traditional image processing algorithms and a data augmentation technique are combined with an adjusted pretrained deep convolutional neural network to classify diseases in the gastrointestinal tract from wireless endoscopy images in this research. We take advantage of pretrained models VGG16, ResNet-18, and GoogLeNet, a convolutional neural network (CNN) model with adjusted fully connected and output layers. The proposed models are validated with a dataset consisting of 6702 images of 8 classes. The VGG16 model achieved the highest results with 96.33% accuracy, 96.37% recall, 96.5% precision, and 96.5% F1-measure. Compared to other state-of-the-art models, the VGG16 model has the highest Matthews Correlation Coefficient value of 0.95 and Cohen's kappa score of 0.96.

Analysis of DNA Sequence Classification Using CNN and Hybrid Models.

In a general computational context for biomedical data analysis, DNA sequence classification is a crucial challenge. Several machine learning techniques have used to complete this task in recent years successfully. Identification and classification of viruses are essential to avoid an outbreak like COVID-19. Regardless, the feature selection process remains the most challenging aspect of the issue. The most commonly used representations worsen the case of high dimensionality, and sequences lack explicit features. It also helps in detecting the effect of viruses and drug design. In recent days, deep learning (DL) models can automatically extract the features from the input. In this work, we employed CNN, CNN-LSTM, and CNN-Bidirectional LSTM architectures using Label and K-mer encoding for DNA sequence classification. The models are evaluated on different classification metrics. From the experimental results, the CNN and CNN-Bidirectional LSTM with K-mer encoding offers high accuracy with 93.16% and 93.13%, respectively, on testing data.
