Classification of the trabecular bone structure of osteoporotic patients using machine vision.

Computers in biology and medicine
Osteoporosis is a common bone disease which often leads to fractures. Clinically, the major challenge for the automatic diagnosis of osteoporosis is the complex architecture of bones. The clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis is conventionally done usin...

Pattern of improvement in upper limb pointing task kinematics after a 3-month training program with robotic assistance in stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: When exploring changes in upper limb kinematics and motor impairment associated with motor recovery in subacute post stroke during intensive therapies involving robot-assisted training, it is not known whether trained joints improve befor...

Early hospital mortality prediction of intensive care unit patients using an ensemble learning approach.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Mortality prediction of hospitalized patients is an important problem. Over the past few decades, several severity scoring systems and machine learning mortality prediction models have been developed for predicting hospital mortality. By ...

Impact of pixel-based machine-learning techniques on automated frameworks for delineation of gross tumor volume regions for stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of pixel-based machine learning (ML) techniques, i.e., fuzzy-c-means clustering method (FCM), and the artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM), on an automated framework for ...

Using artificial neural networks to select the parameters for the prognostic of mild cognitive impairment and dementia in elderly individuals.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A huge number of solutions based on computational systems have been recently developed for the classification of cognitive abnormalities in older people, so that individuals at high risk of developing neurodegenerative dise...

The effectiveness of various robotic technologies in assisting older adults.

Health informatics journal
There is concern about the expanding size of the ageing population and burgeoning care costs for older adults. Robotic technology could assist older adults. In this study, the effectiveness of the robotic technologies is evaluated. A systematic liter...

Validation of a Machine Learning Approach for Venous Thromboembolism Risk Prediction in Oncology.

Disease markers
Using kernel machine learning (ML) and random optimization (RO) techniques, we recently developed a set of venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk predictors, which could be useful to devise a web interface for VTE risk stratification in chemotherapy-treat...

Stakeholders' Perceptions Sought to Inform the Development of a Low-Cost Mobile Robot for Older Adults: A Qualitative Descriptive Study.

Clinical nursing research
Creative solutions are needed to support community-dwelling older adults residing in a variety of settings including their house, apartment, or Supportive Apartment Living (SAL) to promote independence and reduce the risk of nursing home replacement....

Predicting activities of daily living for cancer patients using an ontology-guided machine learning methodology.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Bio-ontologies are becoming increasingly important in knowledge representation and in the machine learning (ML) fields. This paper presents a ML approach that incorporates bio-ontologies and its application to the SEER-MHOS dataset to dis...
