Hospitals, especially their emergency services, receive a high number of wrist fracture cases. For correct diagnosis and proper treatment of these, images obtained from various medical equipment must be viewed by physicians, along with the patient’s medical records and physical examination. The aim of this study is to perform fracture detection by use of deep-learning on wrist X-ray images to support physicians in the diagnosis of these fractures, particularly in the emergency services. Using SABL, RegNet, RetinaNet, PAA, Libra R-CNN, FSAF, Faster R-CNN, Dynamic R-CNN and DCN deep-learning-based object detection models with various backbones, 20 different fracture detection procedures were performed on Gazi University Hospital’s dataset of wrist X-ray images. To further improve these procedures, five different ensemble models were developed and then used to reform an ensemble model to develop a unique detection model, ‘wrist fracture detection-combo (WFD-C)’. From 26 different models for fracture detection, the highest detection result obtained was 0.8639 average precision (AP50) in the WFD-C model. Huawei Turkey R&D Center supports this study within the scope of the ongoing cooperation project coded 071813 between Gazi University, Huawei and Medskor.

Fractures occur in the shoulder area, which has a wider range of motion than other joints in the body, for various reasons. To diagnose these fractures, data gathered from X-radiation (X-ray), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) are used. This study aims to help physicians by classifying shoulder images taken from X-ray devices as fracture/non-fracture with artificial intelligence. For this purpose, the performances of 26 deep learning-based pre-trained models in the detection of shoulder fractures were evaluated on the musculoskeletal radiographs (MURA) dataset, and two ensemble learning models (EL1 and EL2) were developed. The pre-trained models used are ResNet, ResNeXt, DenseNet, VGG, Inception, MobileNet, and their spinal fully connected (Spinal FC) versions. In the EL1 and EL2 models developed using pre-trained models with the best performance, test accuracy was 0.8455, 0.8472, Cohen’s kappa was 0.6907, 0.6942 and the area that was related with fracture class under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was 0.8862, 0.8695. As a result of 28 different classifications in total, the highest test accuracy and Cohen’s kappa values were obtained in the EL2 model, and the highest AUC value was obtained in the EL1 model.

Pneumonia remains a leading cause of respiratory morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis to enable timely treatment and prevent complications. This study introduces PELM (Pneumonia Ensemble Learning Model), a novel deep learning framework for automated pneumonia detection using chest X-ray (CXR) images. The model integrates four high-performing architectures—InceptionV3, VGG16, ResNet50, and Vision Transformer (ViT)—via feature-level concatenation to exploit complementary feature representations. A curated, large-scale dataset comprising 50,000 PA-view CXR images was assembled from NIH ChestX-ray14, CheXpert, PadChest, and Kaggle CXR Pneumonia datasets, including both pneumonia and non-pneumonia cases. To ensure fair benchmarking, all models were trained and evaluated under identical preprocessing and hyperparameter settings. PELM achieved outstanding performance, with 96% accuracy, 99% precision, 91% recall, 95% F1-score, 91% specificity, and an AUC of 0.91—surpassing individual model baselines and previously published methods. Additionally, comparative experiments were conducted using tabular clinical data from over 10,000 patients, enabling a direct evaluation of image-based and structured-data-based classification pipelines. These results demonstrate that ensemble learning with hybrid architectures significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy and generalization. The proposed approach is computationally efficient, clinically scalable, and particularly well-suited for deployment in low-resource healthcare settings, where radiologist access may be limited. PELM represents a promising advancement toward reliable, interpretable, and accessible AI-assisted pneumonia screening in global clinical practice.

In recent years, the number of studies for the automatic diagnosis of biomedical diseases has increased. Many of these studies have used Deep Learning, which gives extremely good results but requires a vast amount of data and computing load. If the processor is of insufficient quality, this takes time and places an excessive load on the processor. On the other hand, Machine Learning is faster than Deep Learning and does not have a much-needed computing load, but it does not provide as high an accuracy value as Deep Learning. Therefore, our goal is to develop a hybrid system that provides a high accuracy value, while requiring a smaller computing load and less time to diagnose biomedical diseases such as the retinal diseases we chose for this study. For this purpose, first, retinal layer extraction was conducted through image preprocessing. Then, traditional feature extractors were combined with pre-trained Deep Learning feature extractors. To select the best features, we used the Firefly algorithm. In the end, multiple binary classifications were conducted instead of multiclass classification with Machine Learning classifiers. Two public datasets were used in this study. The first dataset had a mean accuracy of 0.957, and the second dataset had a mean accuracy of 0.954.

Background/Objectives: Cardiomegaly—defined as the abnormal enlargement of the heart—is a key radiological indicator of various cardiovascular conditions. Early detection is vital for initiating timely clinical intervention and improving patient outcomes. This study investigates the application of deep learning techniques for the automated diagnosis of cardiomegaly from chest X-ray (CXR) images, utilizing both convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs). Methods: We assembled one of the largest and most diverse CXR datasets to date, combining posteroanterior (PA) images from PadChest, NIH CXR, VinDr-CXR, and CheXpert. Multiple pre-trained CNN architectures (VGG16, ResNet50, InceptionV3, DenseNet121, DenseNet201, and AlexNet), as well as Vision Transformer models, were trained and compared. In addition, we introduced a novel stacking-based ensemble model—Combined Ensemble Learning Model (CELM)—that integrates complementary CNN features via a meta-classifier. Results: The CELM achieved the highest diagnostic performance, with a test accuracy of 92%, precision of 99%, recall of 89%, F1-score of 0.94, specificity of 92.0%, and AUC of 0.90. These results highlight the model’s high agreement with expert annotations and its potential for reliable clinical use. Notably, Vision Transformers offered competitive performance, suggesting their value as complementary tools alongside CNNs. Conclusions: With further validation, the proposed CELM framework may serve as an efficient and scalable decision-support tool for cardiomegaly screening, particularly in resource-limited settings such as intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency departments (EDs), where rapid and accurate diagnosis is imperative.

For Brush-less DC motors to function better under various operating settings, such as constant load situations, variable loading situations, and variable set speed situations, speed controller design is essential. Conventional controllers including proportional integral controllers, frequently fall short of efficiency expectations and this is mostly because the characteristics of a Brush-less DC motor drive exhibit non linearity. This work proposes a hybrid gray wolf optimization and proportional integral controller for management of the speed in Brush-less DC motors to address this issue. For constant load conditions, varying load situations and varying set speed situations, the proposed controller’s efficiency is evaluated and contrasted with that of PID controller, PSO-PI controller, and ANFIS. In this study, two PI controller are used to get the more stability of the system based on tuning of their coefficients with meta heuristic method. The simulation findings show that Hybrid GWO-PI-based controllers are in every way superior to other controllers under consideration. In this study, four case studies are presented, and the best-case study was obtained 0.18619, 0.01928, 0.00030, and 0.01233 for RMSE, IAE, ITAE, and ISE respectively.
