Background Risk stratification systems for thyroid nodules are often complicated and affected by low specificity. Continual improvement of these systems is necessary to reduce the number of unnecessary thyroid biopsies. Purpose To use artificial inte...
Although distinct categories are reliably decoded from fMRI brain responses, it has proved more difficult to distinguish visually similar inputs, such as different faces. Here, we apply a recently developed deep learning system to reconstruct face im...

PURPOSE: To evaluate and enhance the generalization performance of machine learning physical activity intensity prediction models developed with raw acceleration data on populations monitored by different activity monitors.
Detecting cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) is important in diagnosing a variety of diseases including dementia, stroke and traumatic brain injury. However, manual detection of CMBs can be time-consuming and prone to errors, whereas the current automatic a...

OBJECTIVE: Because of high variability, tear film osmolarity measures have been questioned in dry eye assessment. Understanding the origin of such variability would aid data interpretation. This study aims to evaluate osmolarity variability in a clin...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to build a supervised machine learning-based classifier, which can accurately predict the outcomes of antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment of patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy.
BACKGROUND: As robots are increasingly designed for health management applications, it is critical to not only consider the effects robots will have on patients but also consider a patient's wider social network, including the patient's caregivers an...
Adequate reliability of measurement is a precondition for investigating individual differences and age-related changes in brain structure. One approach to improve reliability is to identify and control for variables that are predictive of within-pers...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Monitoring of changes in respiratory rate provides information on a patient's psychophysical state. This paper presents a respiratory rate detection method based on analysis of signals from a fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based ...
BACKGROUND: Robotic surgery is increasingly performed for low rectal cancer.1 A redundant sigmoid colon makes retraction and pelvic dissection challenging. We present a 'pelvis-first' approach to robotic proctectomy where pelvic dissection occurs pri...
