Article Abstract

Achieving adequate enteral nutrition among mechanically ventilated patients is challenging, yet critical. We developed NutriSighT, a transformer model using learnable positional coding to predict which patients would achieve hypocaloric nutrition between days 3-7 of mechanical ventilation. Using retrospective data from two large ICU databases (3,284 patients from AmsterdamUMCdb - development set, and 6,456 from MIMIC-IV - external validation set), we included adult patients intubated for at least 72 hours. NutriSighT achieved AUROC of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.81 - 0.82) and an AUPRC of 0.70 (95% CI: 0.70 - 0.72) on internal test set. External validation with MIMIC-IV data yielded a AUROC of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.75 - 0.76) and an AUPRC of (95% CI: 0.69 - 0.70). At a threshold of 0.5, the model achieved a 75.16% sensitivity, 60.57% specificity, 58.30% positive predictive value, and 76.88% negative predictive value. This approach may help clinicians personalize nutritional therapy among critically ill patients, improving patient outcomes.

For effective treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to identify the species causing the infection as early as possible. Current methods typically require hours of overnight culturing of a bacterial sample and a larger quantity of cells to function effectively. This study uses one-hour phase-contrast time-lapses of single-cell bacterial growth collected from microfluidic chip traps, also known as a "mother machine".

Animals communicate information primarily via their calls, and directly using their vocalizations proves essential for executing species conservation and tracking biodiversity. Conventional visual approaches are frequently limited by distance and surroundings, while call-based monitoring concentrates solely on the animals themselves, proving more effective and straightforward than visual techniques. This paper introduces an animal sound classification model named SeqFusionNet, integrating the sequential encoding of Transformer with the global perception of MLP to achieve robust global feature extraction.

Protein-nucleic acid binding sites play a crucial role in biological processes such as gene expression, signal transduction, replication, and transcription. In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence, protein language models, graph neural networks, and transformer architectures have been adopted to develop both structure-based and sequence-based predictive models. Structure-based methods benefit from the spatial relationship between residues and have shown promising performance.

Dengue virus remains a significant global health threat, imposing a substantial disease burden on nearly half of the world's population. The urgent need for effective antiviral therapeutics, including therapeutic peptides targeting the Dengue virus, is critical in the current healthcare landscape. However, the availability of anti-Dengue peptides (ADPs) data remains limited in existing data sets, posing a challenge for computational modeling and discovery.

Introduction: Brain tumor classification remains one of the most challenging tasks in medical image analysis, with diagnostic errors potentially leading to severe consequences. Existing methods often fail to fully exploit all relevant features, focusing on a limited set of deep features that may miss the complexity of the task.

Methods: In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning model combining a Swin Transformer and AE-cGAN augmentation to overcome challenges such as data imbalance and feature extraction.
