Artificial Intelligence-Based Classification of CT Images Using a Hybrid SpinalZFNet.

The kidney is an abdominal organ in the human body that supports filtering excess water and waste from the blood. Kidney diseases generally occur due to changes in certain supplements, medical conditions, obesity, and diet, which causes kidney function and ultimately leads to complications such as chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, and other renal disorders. Combining patient metadata with co...

A preliminary study on the effects of long-term robot suit exercise training on gait function and quality of life in patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) progressively impairs gait function, resulting in the need for patients to use a wheelchair approximately 20 years after onset. No reports have investigated the effects of long-term exercise training using the Hybrid Assisted Limb (HAL) in patients with multiple SBMA. This study investigated the effects of long-term exercise training using HAL in patients ...
