Tandem Stance Avoidance Using Adaptive and Asymmetric Admittance Control for Fall Prevention.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Fall prevention is one of the most important functions of walking assistance devices for user's safety. It is preferable that these devices prevent the user from being in the state where the risk of falling is high rather than helping them recovering...

The IDEAL prospective development study format for reporting surgical innovations. An illustrative case study of robotic oesophagectomy.

International journal of surgery (London, England)
BACKGROUND: The early development of innovative surgical procedures is usually reported as retrospective case series, wasting opportunities to provide useful information and introducing bias. We present a report of an innovative procedure in developm...

Diagnostic Performance of Artificial Neural Network for Detecting Ischemia in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging.

Circulation journal : official journal of the Japanese Circulation Society
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to apply an artificial neural network (ANN) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and to characterize its diagnostic ability compared with conventional visual and quantitative methods in myocardial p...

Robotic liver surgery: preliminary experience in a tertiary hepato-biliary unit.

Updates in surgery
Minimally invasive liver surgery is performed with increasing frequency by hepatic surgeons. Laparoscopy was the first approach to be used and it is currently safely feasible in selected patients by experienced surgeons. Minor and major laparoscopic ...

Robot-assisted surgery for gastric carcinoma: Five years follow-up and beyond: A single western center experience and long-term oncological outcomes.

European journal of surgical oncology : the journal of the European Society of Surgical Oncology and the British Association of Surgical Oncology
INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted surgery for the treatment of gastric cancer is considered to be safe and feasible with early post-operative outcomes comparable to open and laparoscopic series. However, data regarding long-term oncological outcomes are l...

Automated classification of neurological disorders of gait using spatio-temporal gait parameters.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
OBJECTIVE: Automated pattern recognition systems have been used for accurate identification of neurological conditions as well as the evaluation of the treatment outcomes. This study aims to determine the accuracy of diagnoses of (oto-)neurological g...

Identification of Type 2 Diabetes Risk Factors Using Phenotypes Consisting of Anthropometry and Triglycerides based on Machine Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes; however, to date, no study has assessed the predictive power of phenotypes based on individual anthropometric measurements and triglyceride (TG) levels. The ai...

Phase information of time-frequency transforms as a key feature for classification of atrial fibrillation episodes.

Physiological measurement
Patients suffering from atrial fibrillation can be classified into different subtypes, according to the temporal pattern of the arrhythmia and its recurrence. Nowadays, clinicians cannot differentiate a priori between the different subtypes, and pati...
