A gas flow control device uses the curvature of nasal cannula or other tubes conveying the gas to control an actuator movable between two different configurations to permit or prevent gas flow. Curvature of the nasal cannula is measured by a sensor whose electrical resistance changes in response to the curvature of the sensor. The sensor is mounted on the cannula. Signals from the sensor are transmitted to a controller, which moves the actuator when the curvature exceeds or falls below a threshold value as measured by the change in electrical resistance of the sensor. The device finds use in oxygen therapy, where oxygen flow to a patient is cut off when the sensor indicates non-compliant behavior by the patient, indicating release of oxygen into the environment and causing a potential fire hazard.

Technologies are provided for implementing an interpretation bias modification (IBM) therapy using a mobile device. Some embodiments include a computing device that can initiate a session for interpretation bias modification (IBM) therapy, and can present, as part of the session, a statement describing an ambiguous anger-provoking situation. The computing device also can present, as part of the session, a second statement that comprises a non-threatening interpretation of such situation. That interpretation can be presented in natural language and missing at least one character. The computing device also can receive input defining one or more characters, and can determine that the one or more characters correspond to the at least one character missing in that interpretation. The computing device can then present, as part of the session, a comprehension question corresponding to the non-threatening interpretation, and can prompt selection of an answer to the comprehension question to reinforce the non-threatening interpretation.

Abrégé
A deep learning-based system and method is provided that uses a convolutional neural network to rapidly transform in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) images of unstained skin into virtually-stained hematoxylin and eosin-like images with microscopic resolution, enabling visualization of epidermis, dermal-epidermal junction, and superficial dermis layers. The network is trained using ex vivo RCM images of excised unstained tissue and microscopic images of the same tissue labeled with acetic acid nuclear contrast staining as the ground truth. The trained neural network can be used to rapidly perform virtual histology of in vivo, label-free RCM images of normal skin structure, basal cell carcinoma and melanocytic nevi with pigmented melanocytes, demonstrating similar histological features of traditional histology from the same excised tissue. The system and method enables more rapid diagnosis of malignant skin neoplasms and reduces invasive skin biopsies.
