This document summarizes a method for segmenting left ventricular contours in tagged magnetic resonance images. The method uses a predictor-corrector scheme with a semantic descriptor to preprocess images and multiple external forces to drive segmentation. Validation on 21 test images showed segmentation errors less than 2 pixels on average and average global rotation errors below 0.5 degrees, indicating accurate segmentation. Future work will analyze inter-observer variability, pathological cases, and additional clinical measures.

Sleep apnea
During a flight from Honolulu to Hilo, air traffic controllers were unable to contact the pilots for 18 minutes. Since this incident, the airline captain was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing is interrupted during sleep by pauses or shallow breathing and affects 3.6% of people in North India. The gold standard test for diagnosing sleep apnea is an overnight sleep study called polysomnography. Positive airway pressure therapy using CPAP is very effective at reducing sleep apnea symptoms and improving quality of life.
Talk : NAFLD by Dr. S.P. Singh
This document discusses the growing epidemic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in India. It provides background on NAFLD and highlights several studies that estimate the prevalence of NAFLD in India ranges from 8.7% to 32% based on ultrasound and biopsy data. The risk of NAFLD is increased in Indians due to high rates of obesity, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. Left untreated, NAFLD can progress to cirrhosis of the liver, creating a serious future health burden. Increased public health education is needed to raise awareness of obesity risks and promote healthy lifestyles.
Gastroparesis case study (2)
Gastroparesis is delayed gastric emptying without mechanical obstruction. It is commonly caused by autonomic neuropathy like in diabetes. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, bloating and weight loss. Diagnosis involves ruling out obstruction and scintigraphy showing retained food after meals. Treatments include prokinetic medications, botulinum toxin injections, enteral feeding tubes, and gastric pacemakers which use electrical stimulation to increase motility. While many can live normally with treatment, diabetes-related gastroparesis often requires more intensive intervention.
Gerd ppt
GERD is a long-term condition where stomach acid comes up into the esophagus, causing heartburn, dysphagia, and regurgitation. It is often caused by obesity, pregnancy, smoking, drinking alcohol, a high-caffeine or high-fat diet, and taking NSAIDs. Doctors diagnose GERD through clinical symptoms, endoscopy, and esophageal pH monitoring. Treatment includes antacids, PPIs, H2 blockers, prokinetics, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgery like Nissen fundoplication. Complications can include esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal strictures.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This document provides an overview of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), specifically Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. It defines IBD as a chronic immune-mediated inflammation of the bowel. Crohn's disease causes focal, asymmetrical, and transmural inflammation that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Ulcerative colitis only affects the colon. Both diseases are treated with medications like steroids, immunomodulators, and biologics. Surgery may be required for complications or if medical management is unsuccessful. Regular colon cancer screening is also recommended for patients due to their increased risk.
Gerd
GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a digestive disorder where stomach acid backs up into the esophagus. Common symptoms include heartburn, burning chest pain, and a bitter taste in the mouth. Treatments involve lifestyle and dietary changes like avoiding fatty or acidic foods, smaller meals, not eating before bed, losing weight, and elevating the head while sleeping. Medications can also be used to treat and prevent GERD from recurring. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can help prevent GERD.
Esophageal and extraesophageal management of GERD
1) Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when gastric contents reflux into the esophagus in excessive amounts, causing symptoms or mucosal injury.
2) Common symptoms include heartburn and regurgitation. Complications include esophagitis, strictures, and Barrett's esophagus.
3) Diagnosis is usually made clinically based on symptoms. Testing with endoscopy, pH monitoring, or impedance monitoring may be used to confirm diagnosis or assess for complications.
4) Treatment involves lifestyle modifications and medication like antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors. Reflux surgery may be considered for severe cases.
Myocardial torsion estimation with Tagged-MRI in the OsiriX platform
This document discusses a study that used tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the OsiriX platform to estimate myocardial torsion in the left ventricle. Tagged MRI was used to track motion over time by overlaying a grid pattern on the heart that deforms with cardiac motion. Researchers developed a plugin for OsiriX to segment the left ventricle boundaries and track motion between frames using harmonic phase flow imaging. They validated their method on data from 48 subjects, finding similar torsion trends but noisy results for some acquisitions. Future work will focus on quality indicators to improve reliability.

Learning-based vertebra segmentation, identification and partioning
Learning-based vertebra segmentation, identification and partioningRadboud University Medical Center
The spine is visualized on many CT and MR exams, including thorax and abdomen scans that were originally not intended for spine imaging. Because these often cover several but not all vertebrae, it is difficult to make strong assumptions for automatic analysis. Challenges are therefore the unknown number of target structures (vertebrae) in the image, their anatomical identification (which vertebrae are visible? must not assign the same label to two vertebrae) and that some biomarkers are related only to part of the vertebrae, often the vertebral body. This talk covers an instance segmentation approach for vertebra detection, segmentation, and anatomical identification, and a partitioning approach to separate vertebral body and arch based on thin-plate spline surfaces positioned by a convolutional neural network.PHM2106-Presentation-Hubbard
This document discusses methods for estimating the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries using data-driven prognostics. It presents a bilinear kernel regression model that uses capacity fade data from batteries to predict RUL while accounting for noise in the training data. The model transforms the data using a kernel and employs LASSO regularization to provide sparse predictions and prevent overfitting. An experiment applies the model to capacity data from 8 test batteries and shows it can accurately estimate RUL even in the presence of noise in the training and test data.

GTTS-EHU Systems for QUESST at MediaEval 2014
This paper briefly describes the systems presented by the
Software Technologies Working Group (http://gtts.ehu.es,
GTTS) of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)
to the Query-by-Example Search on Speech Task (QUESST) at MediaEval 2014. The GTTS-EHU systems consist of four modules: (1) feature extraction; (2) speech activity detection; (3) DTW-based query matching; and (4) score calibration and fusion. The submitted systems follow the same approach used in our SWS 2013 submissions, with two minor changes (needed to address the new task): the search stops at the most likely query detection (no further detections are looked for) and a score is produced for each (query, document) pair. The two approximate matching types introduced in QUESST have not received special treatment. This year, we have just explored the use of reduced feature sets, obtaining worse results but at lower computational costs.

18-09-2020 CT CORONARY ANGIOGRAM Dr.Sowmya.Dr.BGJ.pptx.pptx
CT coronary angiography can provide detailed images of the coronary arteries. It has high temporal and spatial resolution allowing visualization of small coronary arteries. The technique uses ECG gating and retrospective reconstruction to achieve motion-free images. Various pathologies like stenosis, anomalies, plaques and bypass grafts can be evaluated. Image quality can be affected by artifacts from calcium, stents or irregular heart rates.
Sparse coding Super-Resolution を用いた核医学画像処理
This document discusses sparse coding super-resolution (ScSR) for single-frame super-resolution of medical images. ScSR uses a sparse representation prior to reconstruct high-resolution images from low-resolution inputs. The document evaluates ScSR on SPECT images with and without additional anatomical information. ScSR improved image quality over bilinear interpolation as measured by higher PSNR scores and recovered finer details in power spectral density analysis. Adding computed tomography, magnetic resonance, or digital phantom data provided negligible further improvement over ScSR alone.
ACD in Barton-2022.pptx
This study introduces arc center distance (ACD) as a new quantitative radiographic parameter for evaluating reduction of volar Barton fractures of the distal radius. The study analyzed 24 patients who underwent surgery for a volar Barton fracture, comparing conventional parameters like volar tilt angle, anteroposterior distance, and tear drop angle to the new ACD parameter. Results found that ACD had higher reliability and accuracy compared to conventional parameters at detecting incongruity based on area under the ROC curve analysis. ACD can be easily measured on computed tomography using circle fitting tools and provides a more objective assessment of radiolunate joint congruency than prior methods. The study establishes an ACD cutoff of 1.02mm to indicate an
Ntokas_Vasileios_Panagiotis_Final_Demonstration
This document discusses using machine learning techniques for neural signal analysis to classify signals from cuff electrodes and provide feedback to the brain. It explores feature extraction methods, dimensionality reduction, and machine learning algorithms like ANN, SVM, and decision trees. Initial classification using MAV and STD achieved good separation of stimuli. Further classification using WEKA explored logistic regression, SMO, Naive Bayes, and IBk classifiers, with IBk achieving up to 91% accuracy on a reduced feature set found using CFS. The techniques showed promise in identifying sensory stimuli but future work is needed to implement classification in real time.

JPEG-LS and CALIC for bilevel images are also summarized with explanations of their prediction, context modeling, and entropy coding methods.
Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset.pptx
This document discusses using machine learning models to classify breast cancer tumors as benign or malignant based on cell nucleus characteristics without biopsy. It summarizes loading and preprocessing the Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset, performing explanatory data analysis to identify important features, engineering features, training classifiers including SVC and evaluating models. SHAP and permutation feature importance analysis identified concave point characteristics as most important for classification. The top performing SVC classifier achieved over 99% accuracy, allowing diagnosis without biopsy. Future work could apply these methods to other cancers where biopsy is difficult.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
