A Review on the Applications of Machine Learning for Tinnitus Diagnosis Using EEG Signals

Tinnitus is a prevalent hearing disorder that can be caused by various factors such as age, hearing loss, exposure to loud noises, ear infections or tumors, certain medications, head or neck injuries, and psychological conditions like anxiety and depression. While not every patient requires medical attention, about 20% of sufferers seek clinical intervention. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. New developments have been made in tinnitus detection to aid in early detection of this illness. Over the past few years, there has been a notable growth in the usage of electroencephalography (EEG) to study variations in oscillatory brain activity related to tinnitus. However, the results obtained from numerous studies vary greatly, leading to conflicting conclusions. Currently, clinicians rely solely on their expertise to identify individuals with tinnitus. Researchers in this field have incorporated various data modalities and machine-learning techniques to aid clinicians in identifying tinnitus characteristics and classifying people with tinnitus. The purpose of writing this article is to review articles that focus on using machine learning (ML) to identify or predict tinnitus patients using EEG signals as input data. We have evaluated 11 articles published between 2016 and 2023 using a systematic literature review (SLR) method. This article arranges perfect summaries of all the research reviewed and compares the significant aspects of each. Additionally, we performed statistical analyses to gain a deeper comprehension of the most recent research in this area. Almost all of the reviewed articles followed a five-step procedure to achieve the goal of tinnitus. Disclosure. Finally, we discuss the open affairs and challenges in this method of tinnitus recognition or prediction and suggest future directions for research.

Alzheimers Disease Diagnosis by Deep Learning Using MRI-Based Approaches

The most frequent kind of dementia of the nervous system, Alzheimer's disease, weakens several brain processes (such as memory) and eventually results in death. The clinical study uses magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose AD. Deep learning algorithms are capable of pattern recognition and feature extraction from the inputted raw data. As early diagnosis and stage detection are the most crucial elements in enhancing patient care and treatment outcomes, deep learning algorithms for MRI images have recently allowed for diagnosing a medical condition at the beginning stage and identifying particular symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. As a result, we aimed to analyze five specific studies focused on AD diagnosis using MRI-based deep learning algorithms between 2021 and 2023 in this study. To completely illustrate the differences between these techniques and comprehend how deep learning algorithms function, we attempted to explore selected approaches in depth.

CRC-ICM: Colorectal Cancer Immune Cell Markers Pattern Dataset

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death in the world, ad can be identified by the location of the primary tumor in the large intestine: right and left colon, and rectum. Based on the location, CRC shows differences in chromosomal and molecular characteristics, microbiomes incidence, pathogenesis, and outcome. It has been shown that tumors on left and right sides also have different immune landscape, so the prognosis may be different based on the primary tumor locations. It is widely accepted that immune components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical role in tumor development. One of the critical regulatory molecules in the TME is immune checkpoints that as the gatekeepers of immune responses regulate the infiltrated immune cell functions. Inhibitory immune checkpoints such as PD-1, Tim3, and LAG3, as the main mechanism of immune suppression in TME overexpressed and result in further development of the tumor. The images of this dataset have been taken from colon tissues of patients with CRC, stained with specific antibodies for CD3, CD8, CD45RO, PD-1, LAG3 and Tim3. The name of this dataset is CRC-ICM and contains 1756 images related to 136 patients. The initial version of CRC-ICM is published on Elsevier Mendeley dataset portal, and the latest version is accessible via: https://databiox.com

Photonic Neural Networks: A Compact Review

It has long been known that photonic science and especially photonic communications can raise the speed of technologies and producing manufacturing. More recently, photonic science has also been interested in its capabilities to implement low-precision linear operations, such as matrix multiplications, fast and effciently. For a long time most scientists taught that Electronics is the end of science but after many years and about 35 years ago had been understood that electronics do not answer alone and should have a new science. Today we face modern ways and instruments for doing tasks as soon as possible in proportion to many decays before. The velocity of progress in science is very fast. All our progress in science area is dependent on modern knowledge about new methods. In this research, we want to review the concept of a photonic neural network. For this research was selected 18 main articles were among the main 30 articles on this subject from 2015 to the 2022 year. These articles noticed three principles: 1- Experimental concepts, 2- Theoretical concepts, and, finally 3- Mathematic concepts. We should be careful with this research because mathematics has a very important and constructive role in our topics! One of the topics that are very valid and also new, is simulation. We used to work with simulation in some parts of this research. First, briefly, we start by introducing photonics and neural networks. In the second we explain the advantages and disadvantages of a combination of both in the science world and industries and technologies about them. Also, we are talking about the achievements of a thin modern science. Third, we try to introduce some important and valid parameters in neural networks. In this manner, we use many mathematic tools in some portions of this article.
