Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for implementing a patient complexity classification (PCC) computing system. The PCC computing system receives medical image study data for a patient that comprises one or more medical image data structures and one or more corresponding medical image metadata data structures. A natural language processing engine of the PCC computing system performs natural language processing on the medical image metadata data structure to extract features indicative of at least one of patient or medical image characteristics. A complexity classifier of the PCC computing system evaluates the extracted features to determine a patient complexity indicating a complexity of a medical condition of the patient. Routing logic associated with the PCC computing system routes the one or more medical image data structures and one or more corresponding medical image metadata data structures to one or more downstream patient evaluation computing systems based on the determined patient complexity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively processing image studies with an artificial intelligence system. One system includes an electronic processor configured to select an image study awaiting review and update a workflow status of the image study to a first status indicating that the image study has been claimed for review by the artificial intelligence system. The electronic processor is also configured to apply at least one of the plurality of rules to the image study to determine whether the image study is applicable for processing by the artificial intelligence system, and, in response to determining the image study is not applicable for processing by the artificial intelligence system based on the at least one of the plurality of rules, update the workflow status associated with the image study to a second status to make the image study available for claiming by a manual reviewer or another artificial intelligence system.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism for simulating patients for developing artificial intelligence based medical solutions. The cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism perturbs non-image based information of a real patient from a real patient data set forming perturbed non-image based information, The cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism generates an artificial patient data in an artificial patient data set using the perturbed non-image based information and a non-perturbed medical image of the real patient. The cognitive artificial intelligence training mechanism then trains an operation of a learning algorithm utilized by the cognitive data processing system using real patient data in the real patient data set and the artificial patient data in the artificial patient data set.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided including a sealable fluid-tight container comprising leafy organic material and a one-way fluid-tight valve, a pressure source, and means for connecting the pressure source to the sealable fluid-tight container such that the pressure source applies fluid pressure to the sealable fluid-tight container via the one-way fluid-tight valve. The pressure source is configured to provide fluid to the sealable fluid-tight container comprising the leafy organic material and the one-way fluid-tight valve keeps received fluid from escaping the sealable fluid-tight container.

Abstract: A method of treating prolapse of a vagina includes supporting the vagina by implanting a sacrocolpopexy support and locating an exterior surface of the vagina between leg portions of a vaginal cuff section of the support, and securing a head section of the support to a ligament or a sacrum while isolating the head section from contact with tissue of the vagina.

Abstract: An approach is provided to transform a first set of images retrieved from an annotated source image dataset. The transformation is based on image characteristics found in a model's domain, such as grayscale medical images. The first set of images can be common images unrelated to the model's domain. The approach pre-tunes the model by using the transformed images. The model is included in a question-answering (QA) system. The approach further trains the model using a second set of annotated images with the second set of images corresponding to the target domain, such as medical images. After training, a image, such as a medical image, is received at the QA system. The received image already has image characteristics of the target domain and no transformation is needed. The QA system responsively provides predictions pertaining to the received image.

Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing a plurality of uniform cigarettes that uses air current and a vacuum to move and pack plant matter into pre-rolled cigarette papers is provided. Such an apparatus includes an air current generator with an air outlet portion and an air intake portion, a channel configured to channel air current from the air outlet portion of the air current generator, means for holding at least one pre-rolled paper in the channel so that air current generated by the air current generator passes through all pre-rolled papers, and an opening configured to receive organic leafy material and introduce the organic leafy material received into the channel. Airflow from the air current generator provides organic leafy material to the opening, the channel, and the at least one pre-rolled paper in the channel.

Abstract: The invention includes a device for smoking smokeable material. The device has a housing with a burning section and an inhalation section, a pusher in the housing for pushing the smokeable material through the burning section. The device also has a threaded rotatable shaft for driving smokeable material towards the first end of the housing as the smokeable material is smoked, and a connector for connecting the mouthpiece to the threaded rotatable shaft, where the connector is rotatable relative to the housing, so that rotation of the connector rotates the threaded rotatable shaft relative to the housing.

Abstract: A sacrocolpopexy support has a head section extending from a first end portion to a second end portion, and a leg section having a first leg portion placed on and in longitudinal alignment with a second leg portion.
