Recent advancements in science and technology,coupled with the proliferation of data,have also urged laboratory medicine to integrate with the era of artificial intelligence(AI)and machine learning(ML).In the current practices of evidencebased medicine,the laboratory tests analysing disease patterns through the association rule mining(ARM)have emerged as a modern tool for the risk assessment and the disease stratification,with the potential to reduce cardiovascular disease(CVD)mortality.CVDs are the well recognised leading global cause of mortality with the higher fatality rates in the Indian population due to associated factors like hypertension,diabetes,and lifestyle choices.AI-driven algorithms have offered deep insights in this field while addressing various challenges such as healthcare systems grappling with the physician shortages.Personalized medicine,well driven by the big data necessitates the integration of ML techniques and high-quality electronic health records to direct the meaningful outcome.These technological advancements enhance the computational analyses for both research and clinical practice.ARM plays a pivotal role by uncovering meaningful relationships within databases,aiding in patient survival prediction and risk factor identification.AI potential in laboratory medicine is vast and it must be cautiously integrated while considering potential ethical,legal,and privacy concerns.Thus,an AI ethics framework is essential to guide its responsible use.Aligning AI algorithms with existing lab practices,promoting education among healthcare professionals,and fostering careful integration into clinical settings are imperative for harnessing the benefits of this transformative technology.

Artificial Intelligence-Based Sentiment Analysis of Dynamic Message Signs that Report Fatality Numbers Using Connected Vehicle Data

This study presents results from sentiment analysis of Dynamic message sign (DMS) message content, focusing on messages that include numbers of road fatalities. As a traffic management tool, DMS plays a role in influencing driver behavior and assisting transportation agencies in achieving safe and efficient traffic movement. However, the psychological and behavioral effects of displaying fatality numbers on DMS remain poorly understood;hence, it is important to know the potential impacts of displaying such messages. The Iowa Department of Transportation displays the number of fatalities on a first screen, followed by a supplemental message hoping to promote safe driving;an example is “19 TRAFFIC DEATHS THIS YEAR IF YOU HAVE A SUPER BOWL DON’T DRIVE HIGH.” We employ natural language processing to decode the sentiment and undertone of the supplementary message and investigate how they influence driving speeds. According to the results of a mixed effect model, drivers reduced speeds marginally upon encountering DMS fatality text with a positive sentiment with a neutral undertone. This category had the largest associated amount of speed reduction, while messages with negative sentiment with a negative undertone had the second largest amount of speed reduction, greater than other combinations, including positive sentiment with a positive undertone.

Artificial intelligence technology is introduced into the simulation of muzzle flow field to improve its simulation efficiency in this paper.A data-physical fusion driven framework is proposed.First,the known flow field data is used to initialize the model parameters,so that the parameters to be trained are close to the optimal value.Then physical prior knowledge is introduced into the training process so that the prediction results not only meet the known flow field information but also meet the physical conservation laws.Through two examples,it is proved that the model under the fusion driven framework can solve the strongly nonlinear flow field problems,and has stronger generalization and expansion.The proposed model is used to solve a muzzle flow field,and the safety clearance behind the barrel side is divided.It is pointed out that the shape of the safety clearance under different launch speeds is roughly the same,and the pressure disturbance in the area within 9.2 m behind the muzzle section exceeds the safety threshold,which is a dangerous area.Comparison with the CFD results shows that the calculation efficiency of the proposed model is greatly improved under the condition of the same calculation accuracy.The proposed model can quickly and accurately simulate the muzzle flow field under various launch conditions.
