Development of a web-based liver cancer prediction model for type II diabetes patients by using an artificial neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of liver cancer, and these two diseases are among the most common and important causes of morbidity and mortality in Taiwan.

Exploiting ensemble learning for automatic cataract detection and grading.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Cataract is defined as a lenticular opacity presenting usually with poor visual acuity. It is one of the most common causes of visual impairment worldwide. Early diagnosis demands the expertise of trained healthcare professionals, which may present a...

Impedance control in a wave-based teleoperator for rehabilitation motor therapies assisted by robots.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
This paper presents an improved wave-based bilateral teleoperation scheme for rehabilitation therapies assisted by robot manipulators. The main feature of this bilateral teleoperator is that both robot manipulators, master and slave, are controlled b...

Identification of Heat Shock Protein families and J-protein types by incorporating Dipeptide Composition into Chou's general PseAAC.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are the substantial ingredients for cell growth and viability, which are found in all living organisms. HSPs manage the process of folding and unfolding of proteins, the quality of newly synthesized proteins and protecting ...

A risk management model for familial breast cancer: A new application using Fuzzy Cognitive Map method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Breast cancer is the most deadly disease affecting women and thus it is natural for women aged 40-49 years (who have a family history of breast cancer or other related cancers) to assess their personal risk for developing familial breast cancer (FBC)...

A literature-driven method to calculate similarities among diseases.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: "Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results". It is Herman Melville's famous quote describing connections among human lives. To paraphr...

Automatic diagnosis of premature ventricular contraction based on Lyapunov exponents and LVQ neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is a common type of abnormal heartbeat. Without early diagnosis and proper treatment, PVC may result in serious harms. Diagnosis of PVC is of great importance in goal-directed treatment and preoperation prognos...

Breast cancer detection and classification in digital mammography based on Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) and Super Resolution.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Breast cancer is one of the most perilous diseases among women. Breast screening is a method of detecting breast cancer at a very early stage which can reduce the mortality rate. Mammography is a standard method for the early diagnosis of breast canc...

A medical cost estimation with fuzzy neural network of acute hepatitis patients in emergency room.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Taiwan is an area where chronic hepatitis is endemic. Liver cancer is so common that it has been ranked first among cancer mortality rates since the early 1980s in Taiwan. Besides, liver cirrhosis and chronic liver diseases are the sixth or seventh i...
