MedMNIST Classification Decathlon: A Lightweight AutoML Benchmark for Medical Image Analysis

<p>This data repository for MedMNIST v1 is out of date! Please check the <a href="http://medmnist.github.io">latest version</a>&nbsp;of MedMNIST v2.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>We present MedMNIST, a collection of 10 pre-processed medical open datasets. MedMNIST is standardized to perform classification tasks on lightweight 28x28 images, which requires no background knowledge. Covering the primary data modalities in medical image analysis, it is diverse on data scale (from 100 to 100,000) and tasks (binary/multi-class, ordinal regression and multi-label). MedMNIST could be used for educational purpose, rapid prototyping, multi-modal machine learning or AutoML in medical image analysis. Moreover, MedMNIST Classification Decathlon is designed to benchmark AutoML algorithms on all 10 datasets; We have compared several baseline methods, including open-source or commercial AutoML tools. The datasets, evaluation code and baseline methods for MedMNIST are publicly available at&nbsp;<a href="https://medmnist.github.io/">https://medmnist.github.io/</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please note that this dataset is&nbsp;<strong>NOT</strong>&nbsp;intended for clinical use.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>We recommend&nbsp;our official&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/MedMNIST/MedMNIST">code</a>&nbsp;to download, parse and use&nbsp;the MedMNIST dataset:</p> <blockquote> <pre>pip install medmnist</pre> </blockquote> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Citation and Licenses</strong></p> <p>If you find this project useful, please cite our ISBI&#39;21 paper as:<br> <em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jiancheng Yang, Rui Shi, Bingbing Ni. &quot;MedMNIST Classification Decathlon: A Lightweight AutoML Benchmark for Medical Image Analysis,&quot; arXiv preprint arXiv:2010.14925, 2020.</em><br> <br> or using bibtex:<br> <em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; @article{medmnist,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; title={MedMNIST Classification Decathlon: A Lightweight AutoML Benchmark for Medical Image Analysis},<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; author={Yang, Jiancheng and Shi, Rui and Ni, Bingbing},<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; journal={arXiv preprint arXiv:2010.14925},<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; year={2020}<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }</em></p> <p>Besides, please cite the corresponding paper if you use any subset of MedMNIST.

Microblogging violent attacks on medical staff: A case study of the Longmen County People’s Hospital incident, an indication of a health care crisis in China

<p>A violent attack on medical staff in Guangdong Province, in which a female doctor at Longmen County People&rsquo;s Hospital (LCPH) was severely injured by a knife-wielding patient, has drawn significant public attention to the phenomenon of hospital violence and initiated discussions on how to resolve violence in hospitals. Social networking sites, such as Sina Weibo, a Chinese version of Twitter, have played a role in this public debate. The incident at LCPH provides an opportunity to examine how Weibo has been used in the debate about violence against medical staff in China.&nbsp;Using the Sina Weibo&rsquo;s built-in search tool, we established a dataset of 661 Chinese-language micro-blogs containing the search terms: Longmen (&ldquo;龙门&rdquo;), doctor (&ldquo;医生&rdquo;), and slash (&ldquo;砍&rdquo;) that were posted between July 15, 2015, the date of the violent incident at LCPH, and August 15, 2015. We performed a content analysis of the micro-blogs to examine: users&rsquo; demographics, attitudes toward the injured doctor and the attacker, possible reasons for the hospital violence, and proposed measures for preventing doctors from violent incidents.&nbsp;</p>

Study protocol and data dictionary: Effectiveness of a GP delivered medication review in reducing polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate prescribing in older patients with multimorbidity in Irish primary care: a cluster randomised controlled trial (SPPiRE study)

<p><strong>Methods</strong></p> <p><strong>Study design and participants</strong></p> <p>The methods for the SPPiRE cluster RCT have been described in the trial protocol (21). This study is reported in line with the CONSORT 2010 cluster RCT checklist (22), see Appendix 1, and was approved by the Irish College of General Practitioners Research Ethics Committee. In brief, SPPiRE was a pragmatic two arm cluster RCT, with the intervention delivered to GP clusters and analysis of outcomes at the patient level. Information about the trial was publicised through a variety of GP research, teaching and training networks throughout Ireland. Eligible practices expressing an interest were formally invited. Practices were eligible to participate if they had at least 300 registered patients aged &ge;65 years (based on the need to identify a sufficient number of eligible participants) and used either of the two Irish GP practice management systems (PMS) with over 80% national cover; this enabled use of a SPPiRE patient finder tool which was developed and embedded into these systems. Practices were excluded if they were currently involved in a medication management or prescribing trial or if they were unable to recruit at least five participants.</p> <p>Eligible patients were aged &ge;65 years and prescribed &ge;15 repeat medicines. A repeat medicine was defined as any unique item with a World Health Organisation Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical code on the patient&rsquo;s current repeat prescription. Patients were excluded if they had been recruited into a practice that was unable to recruit at least four other participants, they were judged by their GP as unable to give informed consent or they were unable to attend the practice for a face to face medication review, (e.g. nursing home residents and house bound patients).&nbsp; Recruited GPs ran the SPPiRE patient finder tool and screened the generated list to ensure only eligible patients were invited. Practices who identified more than 40 eligible patients were supported in selecting a random sample of 30 patients to invite. All recruited practices and patients gave fully informed consent and baseline data was collected prior to practice allocation, to reduce the likelihood of selection bias.</p> <p><strong>Randomisation and masking</strong></p> <p>Recruited practices were allocated to intervention or control groups by minimisation using Minimpy software (23) by the trial statistician (FB) who had no knowledge of participating practices. Minimisation variables included practice size (number of GP sessions per week, 0-14, 14-28 and 28 or more) and location (urban, rural or mixed). Considering the nature of the intervention, it was not possible to blind GPs or patients to the intervention, however to reduce the risk of detection bias the two primary outcome measures; the number of repeat medicines and whether a PIP was present were assessed by an independent blinded pharmacist (MF).</p> <p><strong>Procedures</strong></p> <p>Intervention GPs received unique login details to the SPPiRE website where they had access to five training videos and a template for performing the SPPiRE medication review. The training videos provided background information on multimorbidity and polypharmacy, PIP, eliciting patient treatment priorities and conducting a brown bag medication review. GPs were instructed to book a double appointment and to ask their patients to bring all their medicines in to the medication review visit with them. The SPPiRE medication review process had two main components; gather and record information and then to discuss and agree changes with their patient based on the recorded information, with a focus on deprescribing medicines that were potentially inappropriate, figure 1. The website provided suggested treatment alternatives for identified PIP but all treatment decisions were ultimately at the discretion of the individual GP, based on their clinical judgement and their patients&rsquo; individual priorities.</p> <p>Control GPs delivered usual care during the six to twelve month study period. At the time of intervention delivery there was no structured chronic disease management programme in Irish primary care and many patients with multimorbidity attended multiple hospital specialists. In Ireland, the majority of people aged &ge;70 years of age have access to free GP visits and medicines with some prescription charge co-payments. In the 65 &ndash; 69 year old age category a lower proportion have access to both free GP visits and prescription medicines. Access to specialists and diagnostics in secondary care is free for the entire population.</p> <p><strong>Outcomes</strong></p> <p>The two primary outcomes were the number of repeat medicines and the proportion of patients with any PIP, from a list of 34 pre-specified indicators (see Appendix 2). A series of secondary prescribing related outcome measure were pre-specified to allow a more in depth analysis of the effect of the intervention on prescribing. These were:</p> <ul> <li>The number of medicines stopped and started</li> <li>The proportion of patients with a reduction in significant polypharmacy (defined as &ge;15 repeat medicines)</li> <li>The number of PIP</li> <li>The proportion of patients with a high risk PIP (see Appendix 2)</li> <li>The proportion of patients with any reduction in PIP</li> </ul> <p>Secondary patient reported outcomes measures were included to capture the effectiveness of the intervention from the patients&rsquo; perspective. These were:</p> <ul> <li>Health related Quality of life (EQ5D-5L)(24)</li> <li>Revised Patients' attitudes towards deprescribing (rPATD)&nbsp;&nbsp;(25)</li> <li>Multimorbidity Treatment Burden Questionnaire (MTBQ)&nbsp;(26)</li> </ul> <p>Health care utilisation data was collected to assess the effect of the intervention on health care usage and for the trial&rsquo;s economic evaluation.</p> <p>Outcomes were collected at baseline and at six months after intervention delivery. Patient reported measures were collected by postal questionnaires. Data for all other measures including prescribed medicines, medical and investigations history and healthcare utilisation were collected by participating GPs and submitted to the study manager (CMC). This was a deviation from the original protocol, which indicated this data would be collected by the research team. This deviation related to changes in data protection and national health research regulations during the study period, which precluded research team access to the patients&rsquo; full clinical record.</p> <p><strong>Adverse events</strong></p> <p>Information on adverse events such as mortality, ED presentations and hospital admissions was collected at follow up. Given the deprescribing approach of the intervention a safety protocol for identifying and reporting any suspected adverse drug withdrawal events (ADWEs) was developed. An ADWE is defined as either recurrence of the condition for which the drug was prescribed (e.g. recurrence of angina after stopping a beta blocker) or a physiologic reaction to drug withdrawal (e.g. SSRI withdrawal syndrome)&nbsp;&nbsp;(27, 28). Although discontinuing medicines in older people has been demonstrated to be safe (29), given the paramount importance of the principle of &ldquo;do no harm&rdquo; in research ethics a vigorous and detailed method was established to ensure that any potential ADWEs precipitated by deprescribing in a SPPiRE medication review were captured. Intervention GPs were asked to report any possible ADWE following the SPPiRE medication review. The Naranjo ADR probability scale (30) has been adapted in other studies to assess the likelihood a reaction is related to drug withdrawal&nbsp;&nbsp;(27, 28). This tool was further adapted for SPPiRE and used to make an assessment on the causality of the ADWE. To ensure the patient perspective was included, self-reported possible ADWEs were also collected from patient follow up questionnaires.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Sample size</strong></p> <p>As outlined in the trial protocol (21), the study was designed with 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the proportion with PIP and a mean difference of one medicine between intervention and control groups (based on a mean of 17.4 medicines SD (2.6)) and the sample size inflated to incorporate the effects of clustering (using an ICC of 0.025). The sample size was recalculated when it became apparent during early recruitment that it would not be possible to recruit clusters with an average of 15 participants, as was initially planned in the protocol. An average cluster size of eight was anticipated which inflated the original sample size from 30 practices (450 patients) to 50 practices (400 patients).</p> <p><strong>Statistical analysis</strong></p> <p>Descriptive statistics were used to describe baseline characteristics of recruited practices and participants. All analyses were conducted under the intention-to-treat principle and those lost to follow up had their baseline data carried forward. The primary analysis was carried out using multi-level modelling. The first primary outcome measure, number of repeat medications, was assessed using mixed effects Poisson regression with the individual as the unit of analysis and the practice included as the random effect to control for the effects of clustering and results presented using incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). The baseline number of medicines, GP size (number of GP sessions per week) and GP location (urban/rural) were included in the analysis as fixed effects. The second outcome measure, proportion of patients with a PIP, was analysed in a similar manner using mixed effects logistic regression, including PIP at baseline, GP size and location, and results presented using odd ratios (OR) and 95% CIs. A number of pre-specified sensitivity analyses were conducted; complete case analysis, per protocol analysis and including &ldquo;presence of a repeat prescribing policy&rdquo; as a covariate. All secondary outcomes were analysed in a similar manner to the primary outcomes, using appropriate mixed effects regression methods (i.e. linear, logistic, Poisson).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Note: Version 3 (published 28 April 2025) updates Version 2 by removing Participant GP1P4 following consent withdrawal. This version should be used for all future analyses.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Dataset: Survey on the actual situation of antibiotic resistant bacteria detection by nucleic acid amplification test in clinical microbiology laboratories at hospitals in Japan: Online survey of participants in workshops organized by the Nara Association of Medical Technologists

<p>The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has led to the widespread use of the nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), along with an increase in demand for SARS-CoV-2 tests. NAAT has been used to detect antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes since before the pandemic, but the test has been performed in a limited number of facilities. We investigated the current status and background of Japanese clinical laboratories by surveying the implementation of genotypic AST in NAAT, which has become widespread owing to the pandemic. This means that 59% of the respondents possessed NAAT and were using it for genotypic AST. GeneXpert and FilmArray were introduced in the majority of cases (62.5% and 82.6%, respectively), with the pandemic as the trigger. More than half of the respondents cited &ldquo;rapid detection&rdquo; (56.0%) and &ldquo;ICT requests&rdquo; (52.4%) as the reasons for introducing the system. Regarding usefulness, &ldquo;contribution to infectious disease treatment&rdquo; (74.1%) showed the highest percentage. Among the respondents who cited &ldquo;not implemented&rdquo;, the most frequent responses were &ldquo;I have no plans, but I want to do it.&rdquo; (38.1%) and &ldquo;would do so if requested by a physician&rdquo; (33.3%). The most common reason for not implementing the system was concern about increased workload (52.9%). We believe that this is due to changes in the working environment caused by the pandemic and the characteristics of Japanese society. In the future, to promote the adoption of genotypic AST, it will be necessary to approach it through reports on its usefulness from domestic facilities, and simultaneously, improving and enhancing efficiency in work processes will also be essential.</p>

Data from: Effectiveness of Online Off-the-Job Training in Attracting Participants and Video-On-Demand Streaming in Improving Work-Life Balance: A Study Focusing on Medical Technologists

<p>The Nara Association of Medical Technologists has introduced online Off-Job Training (Off-JT) starting from FY2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to evaluate the online Off-JT, which differs from the traditional face-to-face format. Firstly, we compared the online format&#39;s ability to attract participants with the face-to-face format based on the number of training sessions and attendees. Despite having fewer training sessions (40.8% less), the online format had an average attendance of 105.4% higher (39.7 vs. 19.3) than the face-to-face format. To enhance participant convenience, we offered a limited number of live and video-on-demand (VOD) sessions on YouTube, evaluating their usefulness through an online survey focusing on work-life balance (WLB). The survey results showed that 81.9% (458/559) of respondents reported an improvement in WLB. The effect on WLB improvement varied depending on the viewing method, with VOD sessions showing 84.1% (376/447) and live sessions showing 73.2% (82/112). We believe that the increased ability to attract participants in the online Off-JT is mainly due to the elimination of travel burdens through internet-connected devices. The combination of live and VOD sessions on YouTube allowed participants to adjust their viewing time, leading to better allocation of free time and improved WLB. The online Off-JT and VOD delivery have shown to enhance convenience for participants by removing geographical and time constraints, resulting in positive effects.</p>

Acceptance of medical AI in skin cancer screening: A Choice-based Conjoint Survey

<p><strong>Background</strong>: There is a great interest in using artificial intelligence (AI) to screen for skin cancer. This is fueled by a rising incidence of skin cancer and an increasing scarcity of trained dermatologists. AI systems, capable of identifying melanoma, could save lives, enable immediate access to screenings, reduce unnecessary care and healthcare costs. While such AI-based systems are useful from a public health perspective, past research has shown that individual patients are very hesitant about being examined by an AI system. <strong>Objective</strong>: The aim of the present study was twofold. First, to determine how important the attributes provider (in-person physician, physician via teledermatology, AI, vs. personalized AI), costs of screening (free, 10&euro;, 25&euro;, vs. 40&euro;) and waiting time (immediate, 1 day, 1 week, 4 weeks) were for patients&rsquo; choices of a particular mode of skin cancer screening. Second, to investigate whether sociodemographic characteristics, especially, age, were systematically related to participants&rsquo; individual choices. <strong>Methods</strong>: The study used choice-based conjoint-analysis to examine the acceptance of medical AI for a skin cancer screening from the patient&#39;s perspective. Participants responded to twelve choice sets, each containing three screening-variants, where each variant was described through attributes; provider, costs and waiting time. Furthermore, sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, income, job status, educational background) were assessed. <strong>Results</strong>: 126 (33%) respondents completed the online survey. The results from the conjoint analysis showed that the three attributes were more or less equal important for the participant&rsquo;s choices, with provider being the most important. Inspecting the individual part worths showed that treatment by a physician was most preferred, followed by e-consultation with a physician and personalized AI. The three AI levels scored significantly lower. Concerning the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and relative importances we found, that only age showed a significant positive association to the important of the attribute provider (r = 0.21; p &lt; .02). Younger participants put a lesser importance on the provider than older participants. All other correlations were not significant. <strong>Conclusions</strong>: The present study adds to the growing body of research using choice-experiments to investigate the acceptance of artificial intelligence in health contexts. Future studies need to explore the reasons <em>why</em> AI is accepted or rejected and whether sociodemographic characteristics are associated this decision.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Medical Office, Sander's Bay

At Sander's Bay, female lepers were accommodated. Males were housed at the neighbouring Coco Bay in order to reduce sexual contact. A strict morality was enforced by the Dominican Sisters who oversaw the settlement. However, all of this changed during World War II when the Medical Superintendent give authorisation for males and females to visit one another before 6pm, much to the chagrin of the Dominican Nuns. After this new rule was applied, the birth rate increased on the island and a nun was trained at the colonial hospital to assist with deliveries. It must be added that immediately after the birth, the child was placed in an orphanage never to see their parents again. Not much is left of the colony today.

A medical bag used by miners

## This is a [medical bag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_bag) this bag was used to treat injured miners in the 20th century. The front of the bag, shows a red cross on a white background, a symbol that can even nowadays be found on hospitals or on ambulances. This [red cross emblem](https://www.redcross.ca/about-us/about-the-canadian-red-cross/red-cross-emblem) made sure that every miner knew the purpose and contents of the bag, which used to be stuffed with medical equipment like gauze or a stethoscope. The bag was made out of leather to ensure that it could be used for a long period of time, but nowadays it is in a bad shape due to its use and age. The medical bag can still be closed via a buckle in the front, but is pretty dusty and its seams are only being held together by strings and safety clips. created by: Fee Lucie, Wiegandt Location: Nederlands Mijnmuseum, Heerlen Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
