Analyses of a cirrhotic patient's evolution using self organizing mapping and Child-Pugh scoring.

Journal of medical systems
Due to the importance of cirrhosis evolution, this study examined cirrhotic patients using Self Organizing Mapping (SOM) based on the Child-Pugh scoring method. Because Colored Doppler Ultrasound (CDU) has too many parameters, scoring can be a very d...

Pharmacokinetics of single and repeat doses of icatibant.

Clinical pharmacology in drug development
PURPOSE: Icatibant is a bradykinin-2 receptor antagonist approved to treat acute hereditary angioedema attacks in adults. To-date, no thorough investigation of the clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of icatibant and its primary metabolites has ...

Neurons from the adult human dentate nucleus: neural networks in the neuron classification.

Journal of theoretical biology
OBJECTIVES: Topological (central vs. border neuron type) and morphological classification of adult human dentate nucleus neurons according to their quantified histomorphological properties using neural networks on real and virtual neuron samples.

Robot-assisted walking with the Lokomat: the influence of different levels of guidance force on thorax and pelvis kinematics.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
BACKGROUND: Little attention has been devoted to the thorax and pelvis movements during gait. The aim of this study is to compare differences in the thorax and pelvis kinematics during unassisted walking on a treadmill and during walking with robot a...

Robotic distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer patients with high body mass index: comparison with conventional laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a treatment of choice for early-stage gastric cancer. However, applying MIS to gastric patients with high body mass index (BMI) is technically challenging, especially when performing D2 lymp...

Automatic epileptic seizure detection using scalp EEG and advanced artificial intelligence techniques.

BioMed research international
The epilepsies are a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders and syndromes characterised by recurrent, involuntary, paroxysmal seizure activity, which is often associated with a clinicoelectrical correlate on the electroencephalogram. The diagn...

Obesity and perioperative pulmonary complications in robotic gynecologic surgery.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Robotic gynecological surgery is feasible in obese patients, but there remain concerns about the safety of this approach because the positioning required for pelvic surgery can exacerbate obesity-related changes in respiratory physiology. ...

Single incision trans-umbilical total hysterectomy: robotic or laparoscopic?

Gynecologic and obstetric investigation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the early surgical outcomes in patients who underwent total hysterectomy with laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS-TH) versus robotic single-site total hysterectomy (RSS-TH).

Validating estimates of prevalence of non-communicable diseases based on household surveys: the symptomatic diagnosis study.

BMC medicine
BACKGROUND: Easy-to-collect epidemiological information is critical for the more accurate estimation of the prevalence and burden of different non-communicable diseases around the world. Current measurement is restricted by limitations in existing me...

Learning machines and sleeping brains: Automatic sleep stage classification using decision-tree multi-class support vector machines.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Sleep staging is a critical step in a range of electrophysiological signal processing pipelines used in clinical routine as well as in sleep research. Although the results currently achievable with automatic sleep staging methods are prom...
