Robotic-Assisted and Image-Guided MRI-Compatible Stereoelectroencephalography.

The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques
BACKGROUND: Stereoelectroencephalography has been in regular use at the Montreal Neurological Institute since 1972. The technique has been in constant evolution to incorporate advances in materials, imaging, and robotics technology. MRI-compatible el...

Speech2Health: A Mobile Framework for Monitoring Dietary Composition From Spoken Data.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Diet and physical activity are known as important lifestyle factors in self-management and prevention of many chronic diseases. Mobile sensors such as accelerometers have been used to measure physical activity or detect eating time. In many intervent...

Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms for the Prediction of Preventable Hospital Readmissions.

Journal for healthcare quality : official publication of the National Association for Healthcare Quality
A diverse universe of statistical models in the literature aim to help hospitals understand the risk factors of their preventable readmissions. However, these models are usually not necessarily applicable in other contexts, fail to achieve good discr...

Validation of Neutrophil CD64 Blood Biomarkers to Detect Mucosal Inflammation in Pediatric Crohn's Disease.

Inflammatory bowel diseases
BACKGROUND: In a pilot study, neutrophil CD64 surface expression was significantly elevated in newly diagnosed, pediatric-onset Crohn's disease. We aimed to test the CD64 biomarkers (neutrophil CD64 surface expression and soluble CD64) as determinate...

Clinical and Electrophysiological Analysis of Chronic Eyelid Twitching.

Acta neurologica Taiwanica
PURPOSE: Nearly everyone had experience of eyelid twitching (ET) and most physicians think it is benign and self limited. Most neurologists consider it is a symptom rather a disease. However, sometimes ET persists longer and becomes bothersome in som...

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effectiveness of reduction and fixation by the improved elbow anteromedial approach in treatment of ulna coronoid process fracture.

Method for evaluation of transverse dimension in self-ligating orthodontic treatment. A comparative study.

Acta odontologica latinoamericana : AOL
Knowledge of the best way to evaluate changes in transverse dimension produced by orthodontic treatment enables the estimation of potential space that may be generated and optimizes planning. The aim of this study was to compare two methods for measu...

Thyroid disorders in obese patients. Does insulin resistance make a difference?

Archives of endocrinology and metabolism
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between insulin resistance and thyroid pathology in obese patients, and compare the results between insulin-resistant and noninsulin-resistant patients.

The application of 18F-FDG PET/CT in ovarian immature teratomas when pathological examination results contradict clinical observations: a case report.

Medicine
RATIONALE: Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) could reveal potential lymph node involvement and assisted locating sample sites for pathological examinations.

Characteristics of Long-term Nonprogressors and Viremia Controllers Infected with HIV-1 via Contaminated Blood Donations or Transfusions Conducted 20 Years Earlier.

Biomedical and environmental sciences : BES
To characterize long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) and viremia controllers (VCs), infected with HIV-1 through contaminated blood donation or transfusion between 1992 and 1996 in Henan, China. LTNPs and VCs were defined by CD4+T lymphocyte (CD4) count a...
