Optimal Sepsis Patient Treatment using Human-in-the-loop Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in Intensive Care Units (ICU). The strategy for treating sepsis involves the infusion of intravenous (IV) fluids and administration of antibiotics. Determining the optimal quantity of IV fluids is a challenging problem due to the complexity of a patient's physiology.

On separation of time scales in pharmacokinetics [PDF]
A lot of criticism against the standard formulation of pharmacokinetics has been raised by several authors. It seems that the natural reaction for that criticism is to comment it from the point of view of the theory of conservation laws. Simple example of balance equations for the intravenous administration of drug has been given in 2011 and the ...

Soft Null Hypotheses: A Case Study of Image Enhancement Detection in Brain Lesions [PDF]
This work is motivated by a study of a population of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to identify active brain lesions. At each visit, a contrast agent is administered intravenously to a subject and a series of images is acquired to reveal the location and activity of MS lesions ...

Optimizing Sequential Medical Treatments with Auto-Encoding Heuristic Search in POMDPs [PDF]
Health-related data is noisy and stochastic in implying the true physiological states of patients, limiting information contained in single-moment observations for sequential clinical decision making. We model patient-clinician interactions as partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) and optimize sequential treatment based on belief ...

Development of a high-resolution and high efficiency Single Photon detector for studying cardiovascular diseases in mice [PDF]
SPECT systems using pinhole apertures permit radiolabeled molecular distributions to be imaged in vivo in small animals. Nevertheless studying cardiovascular diseases by means of small animal models is very challenging. Specifically, submillimeter spatial resolution, good energy resolution and high sensitivity are required. We designed what we consider

Closed-Loop Intravenous Drug Administration Using Photoplethysmography
An optically-based injection control system has been developed for preclinical use for an intravenous drug delivery application. Current clinical drug delivery for oncology typically provides for intravenous administration without an awareness of ...
