  • Publication number: 20250140002
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to machine learning techniques, and more specifically to machine learning techniques for generating synthetic spatial omics data based on histopathology image data. An exemplary system for generating synthetic spatial omics images comprises: one or more processors; a memory; and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for: receiving a histopathology image depicting a diseased region of interest of an input tissue sample; and generating a synthetic spatial omics image depicting one or more stained structures of interest within the diseased region of interest by inputting the histopathology image into a generator of a trained generative adversarial network (GAN) model.

  • Patent number: 12165323
    Abstract: An exemplary method for predicting one or more adipose depots for a patient includes receiving one or more Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scans comprising at least a portion of a torso of the patient; providing at least one or more portions of the one or more DEXA scans to a trained machine-learning model, wherein the machine-learning model is trained using a training dataset comprising: a plurality of training DEXA scans of a plurality of subjects and a plurality of corresponding Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-image-based adiposity scores of the plurality of subjects; and predicting the one or more adipose depots for the patient utilizing the trained machine-learning model.

  • Publication number: 20240273718
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to biomarker discovery and patient stratification, and more specifically to machine learning techniques for discovering relevant biomarkers using data collected as part of the standard-of-care (SoC), which can be used to identify a relevant patient population for a therapeutic with a known mechanism of action (MoA). An exemplary method for predicting activity of a molecular analyte of a patient comprises: training a first module of a machine learning model based on a plurality of medical images of a first cohort; training a second module of the machine learning model based on one or more molecular analyte data sets obtained from a second cohort; receiving a medical image from the patient; and predicting, using the trained first and second modules of the machine learning model, the activity of the molecular analyte from the medical image of the patient.

  • Patent number: 11092580
    Abstract: A diagnostic apparatus for analysing a sample to diagnose disease, the apparatus comprising: a separating element for separating gas derived from the sample into component parts; a sensor arrangement coupled to the separating element such that a component part of the gas is directed towards the sensor arrangement, the sensor arrangement being configured to detect compounds which may be indicative of disease; and a processing element coupled to an output of the sensor arrangement, the processing element being configured to process a signal output by the sensor arrangement to provide a diagnosis.

  • Publication number: 20020119024
    Abstract: A blind rivet formed with a tubular shell, and a mandrel extending through the shell. The shell has an outwardly extending flange at one end forming a rivet head, and having a first set of radial indentations arranged around the periphery of the shell at a first distance from the rivet head, and a second set of radial indentations arranged around the periphery of the shell at a second distance from the rivet head. Each of the radial indentations are formed by crimping them in the rivet shell after the shell has been positioned around the mandrel with the end of the shell remote from the rivet head defining the blind end of the rivet shell. Lastly, the mandrel having a head formed at one end to abut against the blind end of the shell, and the stem extending from the head having a point of weakness part way along the length thereof disposed within the shell.
