Head Trauma

Evaluation of a Technology-Based Adaptive Learning and Prevention Program for Stress Response-A Randomized Controlled Trial.

To prevent deployment-related disorders, Chaos Driven Situations Management Retrieval System (CHARLY), a computer-aided training platform with a biofeedback interface has been developed. It simulates critical situations photorealistic for certain target and occupational groups. CHARLY was evaluated as a 1.5 days predeployment training method comparing it with the routine training. The evaluation w...

Classification of EEG based-mental fatigue using principal component analysis and Bayesian neural network.

This paper presents an electroencephalography (EEG) based-classification of between pre- and post-mental load tasks for mental fatigue detection from 65 healthy participants. During the data collection, eye closed and eye open tasks were collected before and after conducting the mental load tasks. For the computational intelligence, the system uses the combination of principal component analysis (...

A machine learning based approach for identifying traumatic brain injury patients for whom a head CT scan can be avoided.

Head CT scan is more often used to evaluate patients with suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the use of head CT scans in evaluating TBI ...

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy for women with endometrial cancer - complications, women´s experiences, quality of life and a health economic evaluation.

This thesis contains four studies all focusing on women with endometrial cancer undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH). Women wi...

Supervised learning technique for the automated identification of white matter hyperintensities in traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are foci of abnormal signal intensity in white matter regions seen with magnetic resonance imaging (M...

Citalopram-Induced Long QT Syndrome and the Mammalian Dive Reflex.

While SCUBA diving, a 44-year-old Caucasian patient had an abnormal cardiac rhythm, presumably Torsade de Pointes (TdP), during the initial descent to...

[Effects of hydrogen rich water on the expression of Nrf 2 and the oxidative stress in rats with traumatic brain injury].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of hydrogen rich water on the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and oxidative str...

Post-operative bleeding risk stratification in cardiac pulmonary bypass patients using artificial neural network.

The prediction of bleeding risk in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patients plays a vital role in their postoperative management. Therefore, an artificia...

Segmenting the Brain Surface from CT Images with Artifacts Using Dictionary Learning for Non-rigid MR-CT Registration.

This paper presents a dictionary learning-based method to segment the brain surface in post-surgical CT images of epilepsy patients following surgical...

A Novel Approach to Create a Machine Readable Concept Model for Validating SNOMED CT Concept Post-coordination.

Post-coordination provides the means to achieve an appropriate content coverage, which is critical in successfully adopting clinical reference termino...

Reverse bi-orthogonal wavelets & fuzzy classifiers for the automatic detection of spike waves in the EEG of the hypoxic ischemic pre-term fetal sheep.

There exists a 6-8 hour window of opportunity for the treatment of perinatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) following the original insult after...

Effect of hyaluronic acid on chondrocyte apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the percentage of apoptotic cells in a contusion model of osteoarthritis (OA) and to assess whether intra-articular injection ...
