Personalized Age Progression with Bi-Level Aging Dictionary Learning.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Age progression is defined as aesthetically re-rendering the aging face at any future age for an individual face. In this work, we aim to automatically render aging faces in a personalized way. Basically, for each age group, we learn an aging diction...

Automatic Segmentation of Kidneys using Deep Learning for Total Kidney Volume Quantification in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Scientific reports
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited disorder of the kidneys. It is characterized by enlargement of the kidneys caused by progressive development of renal cysts, and thus assessment of total kidney volume ...

[Comparison of different stylets used for intubation with the C-MAC D-Blade Videolaryngoscope: a randomized controlled study].

Revista brasileira de anestesiologia
OBJECTIVE: The angle of the C-MAC D-Blade videolaryngoscope, which is used for difficult airway interventions, is not compatible with routinely used endotracheal tubes.

Oxygen extraction fraction mapping at 3 Tesla using an artificial neural network: A feasibility study.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: The oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) is an important biomarker for tissue-viability. MRI enables noninvasive estimation of the OEF based on the blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) effect. Quantitative OEF-mapping is commonly applied usi...

Toward Multimodal Human-Robot Interaction to Enhance Active Participation of Users in Gait Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robotic exoskeletons for physical rehabilitation have been utilized for retraining patients suffering from paraplegia and enhancing motor recovery in recent years. However, users are not voluntarily involved in most systems. This paper aims to develo...

Skill Learning and Skill Transfer Mediated by Cooperative Haptic Interaction.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
It is known that physical coupling between two subjects may be advantageous in joint tasks. However, little is known about how two people mutually exchange information to exploit the coupling. Therefore, we adopted a reversed, novel perspective to th...

Experimental evaluation of a novel robotic hospital bed mover with omni-directional mobility.

Applied ergonomics
Bed pushing during patient transfer is one of the most physically demanding and yet common tasks in the hospital setting. Powered bed movers have been increasingly introduced to hospitals to reduce physiological strains on the users. This study intro...

Validity of Robot-Based Assessments of Upper Extremity Function.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To examine the validity of 5 robot-based assessments of arm motor function poststroke.

Semi-automated brain tumor segmentation on multi-parametric MRI using regularized non-negative matrix factorization.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Segmentation of gliomas in multi-parametric (MP-)MR images is challenging due to their heterogeneous nature in terms of size, appearance and location. Manual tumor segmentation is a time-consuming task and clinical practice would benefit ...

Prediction of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea by anthropometric features via support vector machine.

PloS one
To develop an applicable prediction for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is still a challenge in clinical practice. We apply a modern machine learning method, the support vector machine to establish a predicting model for the severity of OSA. The suppor...
