Classification of Diffusion Tensor Metrics for the Diagnosis of a Myelopathic Cord Using Machine Learning.

International journal of neural systems
In this study, we propose an automated framework that combines diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics with machine learning algorithms to accurately classify control groups and groups with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) in the spinal cord. The...

Feature selection before EEG classification supports the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVE: In many decision support systems, some input features can be marginal or irrelevant to the diagnosis, while others can be redundant among each other. Thus, feature selection (FS) algorithms are often considered to find relevant/non-redunda...

Predicting all-cause risk of 30-day hospital readmission using artificial neural networks.

PloS one
Avoidable hospital readmissions not only contribute to the high costs of healthcare in the US, but also have an impact on the quality of care for patients. Large scale adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) has created the opportunity to proacti...

Identifying incipient dementia individuals using machine learning and amyloid imaging.

Neurobiology of aging
Identifying individuals destined to develop Alzheimer's dementia within time frames acceptable for clinical trials constitutes an important challenge to design studies to test emerging disease-modifying therapies. Although amyloid-β protein is the co...

Predicting two-year survival versus non-survival after first myocardial infarction using machine learning and Swedish national register data.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Machine learning algorithms hold potential for improved prediction of all-cause mortality in cardiovascular patients, yet have not previously been developed with high-quality population data. This study compared four popular machine learn...

Validation of accuracy of SVM-based fall detection system using real-world fall and non-fall datasets.

PloS one
Falls are a major cause of injuries and deaths in older adults. Even when no injury occurs, about half of all older adults who fall are unable to get up without assistance. The extended period of lying on the floor often leads to medical complication...

A Pilot Randomized Trial of a Companion Robot for People With Dementia Living in the Community.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the affective, social, behavioral, and physiological effects of the companion robot Paro for people with dementia in both a day care center and a home setting.

Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography for Prostate Cancer: Distribution of Disease and Implications for Radiation Therapy Planning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To explore the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-avid distribution of prostate cancer (PC) on positron emission tomography (PET), both at the time of initial diagnosis and at the time of relapse after definitive local treatment.
