Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is one of the essential measures to prevent its further development into Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this paper, we propose a hybrid deep learning model for early diagnosis of MCI, called spatio-temporal convolutional gated recurrent unit network (STCGRU). METHODS The STCGRU comprises three bespoke convolutional neural network (CNN) modules and a bi-directional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) module, which can effectively extract the spatial and temporal features of EEG and obtain excellent diagnostic results. We use a publicly available EEG dataset that has not undergone pre-processing to verify the robustness and accuracy of the model. Ablation experiments on STCGRU are conducted to showcase the individual performance improvement of each module. RESULTS Compared with other state-of-the-art approaches using the same publicly available EEG dataset, the results show that STCGRU is more suitable for early diagnosis of MCI. After 10-fold cross-validation, the average classification accuracy of the hybrid model reached 99.95 %, while the average kappa value reached 0.9989. CONCLUSIONS The experimental results show that the hybrid model proposed in this paper can directly extract compelling spatio-temporal features from the raw EEG data for classification. The STCGRU allows for accurate diagnosis of patients with MCI and has a high practical value.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most deadly diseases in the world. Lung cancer detection can save the patient's life. Despite being the best imaging tool in the medical sector, clinicians find it challenging to interpret and detect cancer from Computed Tomography (CT) scan data. One of the most effective ways for the diagnosis of certain malignancies like lung tumours is Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. So many diagnosis models have been implemented nowadays to diagnose various diseases. Early lung cancer identification is very important for predicting the severity level of lung cancer in cancer patients. To explore the effective model, an image fusion-based detection model is proposed for lung cancer detection using an improved heuristic algorithm of the deep learning model. Firstly, the PET and CT images are gathered from the internet. Further, these two collected images are fused for further process by using the Adaptive Dilated Convolution Neural Network (AD-CNN), in which the hyperparameters are tuned by the Modified Initial Velocity-based Capuchin Search Algorithm (MIV-CapSA). Subsequently, the abnormal regions are segmented by influencing the TransUnet3+. Finally, the segmented images are fed into the Hybrid Attention-based Deep Networks (HADN) model, encompassed with Mobilenet and Shufflenet. Therefore, the effectiveness of the novel detection model is analyzed using various metrics compared with traditional approaches. At last, the outcome evinces that it aids in early basic detection to treat the patients effectively.

Abstract
Cancer detection and accurate classification pose significant challenges for medical professionals, as it is described as a lethal illness. Diagnosing the malignant lung nodules in its initial stage significantly enhances the recovery and survival rates. Therefore, a novel model named convolutional vision Elman bidirectional-based crossover boosted grey wolf optimization (CViEBi-CBGWO) has been proposed to enhance classification accuracy. CT images selected for further preprocessing are obtained from the LUNA16 dataset and LIDC-IDRI dataset. The data undergoes preprocessing phases involving normalization, data augmentation, and filtering to improve the generalization ability as well as image quality. The local features within the preprocessed images are extracted by implementing the convolutional neural network (CNN). For extracting the global features within the preprocessed images, the vision transformer (ViT) model consists of five encoder blocks. The attained local and global features are combined to generate the feature map. The Elman bidirectional long short-term memory (EBiLSTM) model is applied to categorize the generated feature map as benign and malignant. The crossover operation is integrated with the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm, and the combined form of CBGWO fine-tunes the parameters of the CViEBi model, eliminating the problem of local optima. Experimental validation is conducted using various evaluation measures to assess effectiveness. Comparative analysis demonstrates a superior classification accuracy of 98.72% in the proposed method compared to existing methods.

Abstract
The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has demonstrated its significant medical value over the decades, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. TCM-AI interdisciplinary models have been proposed to model TCM knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment experiments in clinical practice. Among them, numerous models have been developed to simulate the syndrome differentiation process of human TCM doctors for automatic syndrome diagnosis. However, these models are designed for normal scenarios and trained using a supervised learning paradigm which needs tens of thousands of training samples. They fail to effectively differentiate syndromes in rare disease scenarios where the available TCM electronic medical records (EMRs) are very limited for each unique syndrome. To address the challenge of rare diseases, this study proposes a simple yet effective method called Transfer Learning based Dual-Augmentation (TLDA). TLDA aims to augment the limited EMRs at both the sample-level and feature-level, enriching the pathological and medical information during training. Extended experiments involving 11 comparison models, including the state-of-the-art model, demonstrate the effectiveness of TLDA. TLDA outperforms all comparison models by a significant margin. Furthermore, TLDA can also be extended to other medical tasks when the EMRs for diagnosis are limited in samples.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The need for electronic learning and its systems, especially during specific circumstances and crises, is crucial and fundamental for users in universities. However, what is even more important is the awareness and familiarity of learners with different systems and their appropriate use in e-learning. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the satisfaction of learners with synchronous and asynchronous electronic learning systems during the COVID-19 period at Tehran University of Medical Sciences. METHODS The present study was a descriptive-analytical study conducted cross-sectionally from the first semester of 2019-2020 academic year until the end of the second semester of 2021-2022 academic year, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic. The sample size was determined to be 370 students and 650 staff members using the Krejcie and Morgan table. The face validity and reliability of the research tool, which was a researcher-made questionnaire, was confirmed. Considering a response rate of 75%, 280 completed questionnaires were received from students, and 500 completed questionnaires were collected from employees. For data analysis, absolute and relative frequencies, as well as independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Post Hoc tests in the SPSS software were utilized. RESULTS During the COVID-19 pandemic, both students and staff members at Tehran University of Medical Sciences showed a relatively decreasing level of satisfaction with electronic learning. There was a significant difference in satisfaction between these two groups of learners regarding electronic learning (P = 0/031). Learners were relatively more satisfied with the offline system called "Navid" compared to online learning systems. Among the online systems, the highest level of satisfaction was observed with the Skype platform. CONCLUSION Although learners expressed relative satisfaction with electronic learning during the COVID-19 period, it is necessary to strengthen infrastructure and provide support services, technical assistance, and continuous updates for electronic learning platforms. This can contribute to more effective and efficient utilization of electronic learning, especially during particular circumstances and crises, or in hybrid models combining online and face to face education and training.

Abstract
PURPOSE There are millions of people who lose their life due to several types of fatal diseases. Cancer is one of the most fatal diseases which may be due to obesity, alcohol consumption, infections, ultraviolet radiation, smoking, and unhealthy lifestyles. Cancer is abnormal and uncontrolled tissue growth inside the body which may be spread to other body parts other than where it has originated. Hence it is very much required to diagnose the cancer at an early stage to provide correct and timely treatment. Also, manual diagnosis and diagnostic error may cause of the death of many patients hence much research are going on for the automatic and accurate detection of cancer at early stage. METHODS In this paper, we have done the comparative analysis of the diagnosis and recent advancement for the detection of various cancer types using traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models. In this study, we have included four types of cancers, brain, lung, skin, and breast and their detection using ML and DL techniques. In extensive review we have included a total of 130 pieces of literature among which 56 are of ML-based and 74 are from DL-based cancer detection techniques. Only the peer reviewed research papers published in the recent 5-year span (2018-2023) have been included for the analysis based on the parameters, year of publication, feature utilized, best model, dataset/images utilized, and best accuracy. We have reviewed ML and DL-based techniques for cancer detection separately and included accuracy as the performance evaluation metrics to maintain the homogeneity while verifying the classifier efficiency. RESULTS Among all the reviewed literatures, DL techniques achieved the highest accuracy of 100%, while ML techniques achieved 99.89%. The lowest accuracy achieved using DL and ML approaches were 70% and 75.48%, respectively. The difference in accuracy between the highest and lowest performing models is about 28.8% for skin cancer detection. In addition, the key findings, and challenges for each type of cancer detection using ML and DL techniques have been presented. The comparative analysis between the best performing and worst performing models, along with overall key findings and challenges, has been provided for future research purposes. Although the analysis is based on accuracy as the performance metric and various parameters, the results demonstrate a significant scope for improvement in classification efficiency. CONCLUSION The paper concludes that both ML and DL techniques hold promise in the early detection of various cancer types. However, the study identifies specific challenges that need to be addressed for the widespread implementation of these techniques in clinical settings. The presented results offer valuable guidance for future research in cancer detection, emphasizing the need for continued advancements in ML and DL-based approaches to improve diagnostic accuracy and ultimately save more lives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate and fast image registration (IR) is critical during surgical interventions where the ultrasound (US) modality is used for image-guided intervention. Convolutional neural network (CNN)-based IR methods have resulted in applications that respond faster than traditional iterative IR methods. However, general-purpose processors are unable to operate at the maximum speed possible for real-time CNN algorithms. Due to its reconfigurable structure and low power consumption, the field programmable gate array (FPGA) has gained prominence for accelerating the inference phase of CNN applications. METHODS This study proposes an FPGA-based ultrasound IR CNN (FUIR-CNN) to regress three rigid registration parameters from image pairs. To speed up the estimation process, the proposed design makes use of fixed-point data and parallel operations carried out by unrolling and pipelining techniques. Experiments were performed on three US datasets in real time using the xc7z020, and the xcku5p was also used during implementation. RESULTS The FUIR-CNN produced results for the inference phase 139 times faster than the software-based network while retaining a negligible drop in regression performance of under 200 MHz clock frequency. CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed end-to-end FPGA-based accelerated CNN achieves a negligible loss, a high speed for registration parameters, less power when compared to the CPU, and the potential for real-time medical imaging.

Abstract
Honey is one of the most adulterated foods, usually through the addition of sweeteners or low-cost honeys. This study presents a method based on visible near infrared spectroscopy (Vis-NIRs), in combination with machine learning (ML) algorithms, for the correct identification and quantification of adulterants in honey. Honey samples from two botanical origins (orange blossom and sunflower) were evaluated and adulterated with low-cost honey in different percentages (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, and 50%). The results of the exploratory analysis showed a tendency to group the samples according to botanical origin, as well as the presence of adulteration. A supervised analysis was performed to detect the presence of adulterations. The best performance with 100% accuracy was achieved by support vector machines (SVM) and random forests (RF). A regression study was also carried out to quantify the percentage of adulteration. The best result was obtained by support vector regression (SVR) with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.991 and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 1.894. These results demonstrate the potential of combining ML with spectroscopic data as a method for the automated quality control of honey.
