Determination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the exhaled breath samples of lung cancer patients and healthy controls was carried out by SPME-GC/MS (solid phase microextraction- gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry) analyses. In...
BMC medical informatics and decision making
May 6, 2015
BACKGROUND: In this study we implemented and developed state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies and built a computerized algorithm for medication reconciliation. Our specific aims are: (1) to develop a...
Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
May 4, 2015
BACKGROUND: Delivering healthcare using remote robotic telepresence is an evolving practice in medical and surgical intensive critical care units and will likely have varied implications for work practices and working relationships in intensive care ...
Supervised machine learning-based seizure prediction methods consider preictal period as an important prerequisite parameter during training. However, the exact length of the preictal state is unclear and varies from seizure to seizure. We propose a ...
Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
May 2, 2015
The quantification of non-linear characteristics of electromyography (EMG) must contain information allowing to discriminate neuromuscular strategies during dynamic skills. There are a lack of studies about muscle coordination under motor constrains ...
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
May 1, 2015
BACKGROUND: Individuals with below-knee amputation have more difficulty balancing during walking, yet few studies have explored balance enhancement through active prosthesis control. We previously used a dynamical model to show that prosthetic ankle ...
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Apr 30, 2015
This paper describes a control approach that provides walking and standing functionality for a powered ankle prosthesis, and demonstrates the efficacy of the approach in experiments with a unilateral transtibial amputee subject. Both controllers inco...
Augmentative and alternative communication (Baltimore, Md. : 1985)
Apr 29, 2015
This study explores children with complex communication needs, their peers and adult support persons in play with the talking and moving robot LekBot. Two triads were filmed playing with LekBot at pre-school. LekBot was developed to facilitate indepe...
Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries
Apr 27, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Predicting mortality from burn injury has traditionally employed logistic regression models. Alternative machine learning methods have been introduced in some areas of clinical prediction as the necessary software and computational faci...
BACKGROUND: Hyperfibrinolysis plays an integral role in the genesis of trauma-induced coagulopathy. Recent data demonstrate that red blood cell lysis promotes fibrinolysis; however, the mechanism is unclear. Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) h...
