Assessment of Motor Impairments in Early Untreated Parkinson's Disease Patients: The Wearable Electronics Impact.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
OBJECTIVE: The complex nature of Parkinson's disease (PD) makes difficult to rate its severity, mainly based on the visual inspection of motor impairments. Wearable sensors have been demonstrated to help overcoming such a difficulty, by providing obj...

Impact of nominal photon energies on normal tissue sparing in knowledge-based radiotherapy treatment planning for rectal cancer patients.

PloS one
The interactive adjustment of the optimization objectives during the treatment planning process has made it difficult to evaluate the impact of beam quality exclusively in radiotherapy. Without consensus in the published results, the arbitrary select...

Identifying Features that Enhance Older Adults' Acceptance of Robots: A Mixed Methods Study.

Gerontology
BACKGROUND: With global aging, robots are considered a promising solution for handling the shortage of aged care and companionships. However, these technologies would serve little purpose if their intended users do not accept them. While the socioemo...

Relative Factors Analysis of Imatinib Trough Concentration in Chinese Patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor.

Chemotherapy
AIMS: Imatinib plasma trough levels (IM Cmin) have been reported to have a considerable clinical impact in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). We therefore have investigated the factors affecting IM plasma concentration in Chinese ...

Characterization of clot composition in acute cerebral infarct using machine learning techniques.

Annals of clinical and translational neurology
OBJECTIVE: Clot characteristics can provide information on the cause of cerebral artery occlusion and may guide acute revascularization and secondary prevention strategies. We developed a rapid automated clot analysis system using machine learning (M...

Scoring upper-extremity motor function from EEG with artificial neural networks: a preliminary study.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Motor function of chronic stroke survivors is generally accessed using clinical motor assessments. These motor assessments are partially subjective and require prior training for the examiners. Additionally, those motor function assessment...

Machine learning-based prediction of heart failure readmission or death: implications of choosing the right model and the right metrics.

ESC heart failure
AIMS: Machine learning (ML) is widely believed to be able to learn complex hidden interactions from the data and has the potential in predicting events such as heart failure (HF) readmission and death. Recent studies have revealed conflicting results...
