Using telepresence for social connection: views of older people with dementia, families, and health professionals from a mixed methods pilot study.

Aging & mental health
To explore the acceptability of telepresence robots in dementia care from the perspectives of people with dementia, family carers, and health professionals/trainees, and investigate the utility of a social presence assessment tool, the Modified-Temp...

Use of a robotic walking aid in rehabilitation to reduce fear of falling is feasible and acceptable from the end user's perspective: A randomised comparative study.

Maturitas
Objectives To determine the acceptability and feasibility of the use of a robotic walking aid to support the work of physiotherapists in reducing fear of falling in the rehabilitation of elderly patients with 'psychomotor disadaptation' (the most sev...

A machine-learning approach to volitional control of a closed-loop deep brain stimulation system.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established treatment for essential tremor, but may not be an optimal therapy, as it is always on, regardless of symptoms. A closed-loop (CL) DBS, which uses a biosignal to determine when stimulation ...

Could Robots Help Older People with Age-Related Nutritional Problems? Opinions of Potential Users.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The rapid development of new technologies has recently raised interest in the use of assistive robots in the care of older people. The success or failure of robots' implementation is mediated by their acceptance by users. The aim of the study was to...

[Interest of robotic stereotactic radiosurgery in the management of brain metastases: Results of a retrospective, single center analysis].

Neuro-Chirurgie
PURPOSE: The management of malignant brain metastases becomes a main issue for the treatment of patients, because of the survival extension related to the improvement in systemic treatments. Robotic stereotactic radiosurgery (RSR) is a new approach i...

Multiple Human-Behaviour Indicators for Predicting Lung Cancer Mortality with Support Vector Machine.

Scientific reports
Lung cancer is still one of the most common causes of death around the world, while there is overwhelming evidence that the environment and lifestyle factors are predominant causes of most sporadic cancers. However, when applying human-behaviour indi...

Combined Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy and External Beam Radiation Therapy for Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer.

Journal of medical imaging and radiation sciences
INTRODUCTION: This is a retrospective study conducted to report the tumor control and late toxicity outcomes of patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer undergoing combination external beam radiation therapy and low dose rate brachytherapy (LD...

Multiregion segmentation of bladder cancer structures in MRI with progressive dilated convolutional networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Precise segmentation of bladder walls and tumor regions is an essential step toward noninvasive identification of tumor stage and grade, which is critical for treatment decision and prognosis of patients with bladder cancer (BC). However, th...

A machine learning texture model for classifying lung cancer subtypes using preliminary bronchoscopic findings.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Bronchoscopy is useful in lung cancer detection, but cannot be used to differentiate cancer types. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system was proposed to distinguish malignant cancer types to achieve objective diagnoses.
