Article Abstract
Electrocardiograms (EKG) form the backbone of all cardiovascular diagnosis, treatment and follow up. Given the pivotal role it plays in modern medicine, there have been multiple efforts to computerize the EKG interpretation with algorithms to improve efficiency and accuracy. Unfortunately, many of these algorithms are machine specific and run-on proprietary signals generated by that machine, hence not generalizable. We propose the development of an image recognition model which can be used to read standard EKG strips. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained to classify 12-lead EKGs between 7 clinically important diagnostic classes. An austere variation of the MobileNetV3 model was trained from the ground up on publicly available labeled training set. The precision per class varies from 52% to 91%. This is a novel approach to EKG interpretation as an image recognition problem.

Binocular cues to 3D face structure increase activation in depth-selective visual cortex with negligible effects in face-selective areas.

Studies of visual face processing often use flat images as proxies for real faces due to their ease of manipulation and experimental control. Although flat images capture many features of a face, they lack the rich three-dimensional (3D) structural information available when binocularly viewing real faces (e.g.

Background: Staging laparoscopy (SL) is an essential procedure for peritoneal metastasis (PM) detection. Although surgeons are expected to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions intraoperatively, this task remains difficult and error-prone. The aim of this study was to develop a novel multimodal machine learning (MML) model to differentiate PM from benign lesions by integrating morphologic characteristics with intraoperative SL images.

Background: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening hematologic emergency caused by ADAMTS13 deficiency, leading to microvascular thrombosis, haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and end-organ damage. Neurological symptoms occur in up to 90% of cases and are frequently misdiagnosed as stroke. Prompt recognition and treatment reduce the mortality rate from over 90% to 10-20%.

Unlabelled: Anomalous origin of the coronary arteries is a rare congenital condition that can present as non-specific chest pain or shortness of breath or remain asymptomatic. Early identification is critical as certain variants are linked with a high risk of sudden cardiac death. Here, we report the case of a 53-year-old female with hypertension, hypothyroidism, obesity (class II) and a history of intermittent chest pain radiating to the left arm for two years.

Introduction: Primary central nervous system vasculitis (primary CNS vasculitis) is a rare inflammatory disorder that affects small-to-medium-sized cerebral vessels, often leading to recurrent strokes. Diagnosis is vague due to non-specific neurological symptoms. Imaging findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and exclusion of systemic vasculitis are essential for diagnosis.
