In minimally invasive procedures such as biopsies and prostate cancer brachytherapy, accurate needle placement remains challenging due to limitations in current tracking methods related to interference, reliability, resolution or image contrast. This often leads to frequent needle adjustments and reinsertions. To address these shortcomings, we introduce an optimized needle shape-sensing method using a fully distributed grating-based sensor. The proposed method uses simple trigonometric and geometric modeling of the fiber using optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR), without requiring prior knowledge of tissue properties or needle deflection shape and amplitude. Our optimization process includes a reproducible calibration process and a novel tip curvature compensation method. We validate our approach through experiments in artificial isotropic and inhomogeneous animal tissues, establishing ground truth using 3D stereo vision and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquisitions, respectively. Our results yield an average RMSE ranging from 0.58 ± 0.21 mm to 0.66 ± 0.20 mm depending on the chosen spatial resolution, achieving the submillimeter accuracy required for interventional procedures.

Few-shot medical image segmentation is a prominent area of collaborative medical technology research to support healthcare and homecare, but often grapples with challenges, such as the problem of local information loss in most of the current prototype-based methods. To mitigate this concern, we propose a novel Multi-Level Feature-Guided Network (MLFGNet) for few-shot medical image segmentation, which aims to enhance segmentation performance by extracting richer information from multi-level features. Specifically, A Multi-Feature Processing Module is proposed that utilizes hybrid attention mechanisms working together to efficiently learn more useful features. Furthermore, we design a Prediction Aggregation Module to aggregate multiple segmentation prediction maps by assigning appropriate weights, thereby effectively improving segmentation accuracy. Extensive experiments prove that our method exhibits favorable performance with respect to the state-of-the-art methods on two public datasets, including Abdominal-CT and Abdominal-MRI datasets.
Traditional reinforcement learning (RL) generates discrete control policies, assigning one action per cycle. These policies are usually implemented as in a fixed-frequency control loop. This rigidity presents challeng...

In an era of abundant social media use and digital communication, the classification of Arabic social media content and user comments into relevant categories poses a significant challenge. The content in social network platforms often encompasses a wide range of topics, sentiments, and societal concerns, making it essential to develop effective methods for discerning and categorizing these expressions. In this research, a new dataset for Arabic offensive text is built along with the methodology proposed for classifying Arabic content into five categories collected from different social networking sites. Leveraging a diverse array of text representation techniques, including TF-IDF, Bag of Words (BoW), custom embeddings, and pre-trained embeddings from models such as Arabert and Mbert, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted based, shedding light on the optimal approach for tackling this complex problem. The findings reveal that the TF-IDF and BoW methods stand out with an impressive 89% accuracy, emphasizing their robustness in addressing the nuances of Arabic tweet classification across these sensitive topics. This study offers valuable insights into the challenges inherent in categorizing Arabic social media content, emphasizing the significance of the TF-IDF approach as an effective tool for this task.

After COVID-19, the healthcare system’s ineffectiveness in managing pandemics or public health emergencies is significantly highlighted. Based on the increase in the frequency of pandemics, our objective in this research is to define and propose an integrated health system to support healthcare preparedness for future public health emergencies. This system can support managers and authorities in healthcare and disaster management, through data collection, sharing, and analysis, which would ultimately enhance the effectiveness of managing an outbreak before becoming a pandemic.

In this study, two deep learning models for automatic tattoo detection were analyzed; a modified Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and pre-trained ResNet-50 model. In order to achieve this, ResNet-50 uses transfer learning with fine-tuning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and computational efficiency of the system being considered. To augment the dataset included 1000 photos that were equally divided between those showing tattoos and those that did not show tattoos. A k-fold cross-validation approach was employed in training and testing the models. Although custom CNNs are effective, utilizing pre-trained ones like ResNet-50 can offer even better outcomes. Specifically, ResNet-50 attained a higher accuracy (0.86 compared to 0.79), precision (0.85 versus 0.78), recall (0.91 against 0.86), and F1-score (0.91 vis-a-vis 0.86) as compared to custom CNNs. In selecting these models for examination, two main motivations were considered. The first motivation is to see whether transfer learning with a pre-trained ResNet-50 model does well when compared with a customized CNN designed specifically for tattoo detection. Secondly,the intent of this study is to know what advantages can be derived from each approach and their demerits too. Furthermore, it seeks to determine if transfer learning can provide an alternative in contrast to the common CNN techniques with regards to precision and computational efficiency. In this research, two models will be evaluated in order to answer the question of what is better for tattoo detection: transfer learning or designing custom architectures.
