Detecting Vascular Age Using the Analysis of Peripheral Pulse.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
UNLABELLED: Vascular ageing is known to be accompanied by arterial stiffening and vascular endothelial dysfunction, and represents an independent factor contributing to the development of cardiovascular disease. The microvascular pulse is affected by...

Age-related changes in the ease of dynamical transitions in human brain activity.

Human brain mapping
Executive functions, a set of cognitive processes that enable flexible behavioral control, are known to decay with aging. Because such complex mental functions are considered to rely on the dynamic coordination of functionally different neural system...

A Novel Neural Network Model for Blood Pressure Estimation Using Photoplethesmography without Electrocardiogram.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The prevention, evaluation, and treatment of hypertension have attracted increasing attention in recent years. As photoplethysmography (PPG) technology has been widely applied to wearable sensors, the noninvasive estimation of blood pressure (BP) usi...

Prediction of rupture risk in anterior communicating artery aneurysms with a feed-forward artificial neural network.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: Anterior communicating artery (ACOM) aneurysms are the most common intracranial aneurysms, and predicting their rupture risk is challenging. We aimed to predict this risk using a two-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN).

Predictors of activities of daily living outcomes after upper limb robot-assisted therapy in subacute stroke patients.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Upper limb recovery is one of the main goals of post-stroke rehabilitation due to its importance for autonomy in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Although the efficacy of upper limb Robot-assisted Therapy (RT) is well established in lite...

Using Machine Learning and a Combination of Respiratory Flow, Laryngeal Motion, and Swallowing Sounds to Classify Safe and Unsafe Swallowing.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to develop a swallowing assessment method to help prevent aspiration pneumonia. The method uses simple sensors to monitor swallowing function during an individual's daily life.

Prediction of cardiovascular risk factors from retinal fundus photographs via deep learning.

Nature biomedical engineering
Traditionally, medical discoveries are made by observing associations, making hypotheses from them and then designing and running experiments to test the hypotheses. However, with medical images, observing and quantifying associations can often be di...

Safety and Feasibility of a Novel Active Fixation Temporary Pacing Lead.

The Journal of invasive cardiology
OBJECTIVE: This first-in-human study evaluated the safety and technical feasibility of the Tempo temporary cardiac pacing lead (BioTrace Medical), which includes a novel fixation mechanism and soft tip.

Predicting sex from brain rhythms with deep learning.

Scientific reports
We have excellent skills to extract sex from visual assessment of human faces, but assessing sex from human brain rhythms seems impossible. Using deep convolutional neural networks, with unique potential to find subtle differences in apparent similar...
