Published: September 2024

Abstract

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a vital imaging technique that provides detailed images of the retina, playing a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring various retinal conditions like diabetic macular edema (DME), choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and DRUSEN. However, there is a need to improve early detection and treatment of these common eye diseases. While deep learning methods have demonstrated superior accuracy in analyzing OCT images especially concerning data volume and computational efficiency requires further exploration. This paper presents a comprehensive approach for classifying Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images using model ensemble. An ensemble model refers to the merging or blending of separate deep learning models, aiming to utilize their unique strengths and abilities to construct a more resilient and effective solution. The methodology involves the use of CNN architecture along with DenseNet121 and InceptionV3 models to enhance the accuracy of classifying retinal images into four categories: CNV, DME, DRUSEN, and NORMAL. By leveraging the strengths of these models, the proposed ensemble method achieves superior performance. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the ensemble approach, with an improvement in classification accuracy compared to individual models. The proposed architecture achieved the accuracy of 97.5%. The performance comparison with existing state-of-the-art techniques demonstrates that the proposed algorithm requires significantly less time with limited dataset. Our proposed method shows the performance of OCT classification in the case of a limited dataset.
Twelve months at 1.5 °C signals earlier than expected breach of Paris Agreement threshold
Authors: Cannon Alex J. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract

June 2024 was the twelfth month in a row with global mean surface temperatures reaching 1.5 °C above pre-industrial conditions. Does this imply failure to meet the Paris Agreement goal of limiting long-term warming to 1.5 °C? Evidence from climate model simulations, conditional on reaching this threshold for 12 consecutive months, regardless of recent El Niño conditions, suggests that the Paris Agreement target may be crossed earlier than expected.

Comparative Study of Lactogenic Effect and Milk Nutritional Density of Oral Galactagogue in Female Rabbit
Authors: Maru Saurabh , Belemkar Sateesh 
Published: September 2024

Background:
Hypogalactia and agalactia in lactating mothers are the major causes of
child malnutrition, mortality, morbidity, and overall ill health. The development of such treatments
requires a well-designed preclinical study with suitable laboratory animals, which needs to
be improved. Thus, a suitably designed study with a laboratory animal to analyse galactagogue activity,
along with an assessment of the quality and quantity of milk, is required.

Objectives:
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of rabbits as an animal model for studying
lactogenic activity.

Methods:
The structural homology of prolactin, prolactin, and prolactin in humans, rabbits, and
rats was studied using BLAST and PyMol to assess similarity in the lactogenic system. Daily and
cumulative milk production and pre-treatment (control) and post-treatment (three drugs) in rabbits
were recorded and evaluated by analysing protein, fat, lactose, solid non-fat, and ash values. All
parameters were recorded on the 0th day and at the end of weeks 1, 2, and 3. Mammary gland histopathology
was performed to evaluate the effects on mammary glands.

Results:
Homology studies revealed that the sequences of the human and rabbit prolactin genes, receptors,
and hormones had a high similarity index. Treatment with Domperidone, Metoclopramide,
and Shatavari significantly enhanced milk production by enhancing prolactin secretion;
only Shatavari increased milk nutrition. Enlargement of the tubuloalveolar ducts of the mammary
glands was observed.

Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that rabbits are robust, reproducible, ethically superior, and preclinically
relevant animals for assessing lactogenic activity.
Identifying Psychosocial and Ecological Determinants of Enthusiasm In Youth: Integrative Cross-Sectional Analysis Using Machine Learning
Authors: Dolling-Boreham Roberta M , Mohan Akshay , Abdelhack Mohamed , Elton-Marshall Tara , Hamilton Hayley A , Boak Angela , Felsky Daniel 
Published: September 2024

Background
Understanding the factors contributing to mental well-being in youth is a public health priority. Self-reported enthusiasm for the future may be a useful indicator of well-being and has been shown to forecast social and educational success. Typically, cross-domain measures of ecological and health-related factors with relevance to public policy and programming are analyzed either in isolation or in targeted models assessing bivariate interactions. Here, we capitalize on a large provincial data set and machine learning to identify the sociodemographic, experiential, behavioral, and other health-related factors most strongly associated with levels of subjective enthusiasm for the future in a large sample of elementary and secondary school students.

Objective
The aim of this study was to identify the sociodemographic, experiential, behavioral, and other health-related factors associated with enthusiasm for the future in elementary and secondary school students using machine learning.

Methods
We analyzed data from 13,661 participants in the 2019 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey (OSDUHS) (grades 7-12) with complete data for our primary outcome: self-reported levels of enthusiasm for the future. We used 50 variables as model predictors, including demographics, perception of school experience (i.e., school connectedness and academic performance), physical activity and quantity of sleep, substance use, and physical and mental health indicators. Models were built using a nonlinear decision tree–based machine learning algorithm called extreme gradient boosting to classify students as indicating either high or low levels of enthusiasm. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values were used to interpret the generated models, providing a ranking of feature importance and revealing any nonlinear or interactive effects of the input variables.

Results
The top 3 contributors to higher self-rated enthusiasm for the future were higher self-rated physical health (SHAP value=0.62), feeling that one is able to discuss problems or feelings with their parents (SHAP value=0.49), and school belonging (SHAP value=0.32). Additionally, subjective social status at school was a top feature and showed nonlinear effects, with benefits to predicted enthusiasm present in the mid-to-high range of values.

Conclusions
Using machine learning, we identified key factors related to self-reported enthusiasm for the future in a large sample of young students: perceived physical health, subjective school social status and connectedness, and quality of relationship with parents. A focus on perceptions of physical health and school connectedness should be considered central to improving the well-being of youth at the population level.
