Feasibility study into self-administered training at home using an arm and hand device with motivational gaming environment in chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Assistive and robotic training devices are increasingly used for rehabilitation of the hemiparetic arm after stroke, although applications for the wrist and hand are trailing behind. Furthermore, applying a training device in domestic set...

Long-term Effectiveness of Intensive Therapy in Chronic Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Background While recent clinical trials involving robot-assisted therapy have failed to show clinically significant improvement versus conventional therapy, it is possible that a broader strategy of intensive therapy-to include robot-assisted rehabil...

Real alerts and artifact classification in archived multi-signal vital sign monitoring data: implications for mining big data.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Huge hospital information system databases can be mined for knowledge discovery and decision support, but artifact in stored non-invasive vital sign (VS) high-frequency data streams limits its use. We used machine-learning (ML) algorithms trained on ...

Label-free blood serum detection by using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and support vector machine for the preoperative diagnosis of parotid gland tumors.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: It is difficult for the parotid gland neoplasms to make an accurate preoperative diagnosis due to the restriction of biopsy in the parotid gland neoplasms. The aim of this study is to apply the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) m...

Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in adults presenting for bariatric surgery in Lebanon.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is common among obese patients presenting for bariatric surgery in Europe and North America. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in this patient population in Lebanon and the Middle East has not been studied.

Voxel-based Gaussian naïve Bayes classification of ischemic stroke lesions in individual T1-weighted MRI scans.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Manual lesion delineation by an expert is the standard for lesion identification in MRI scans, but it is time-consuming and can introduce subjective bias. Alternative methods often require multi-modal MRI data, user interaction, scans fro...

Creation of a new longitudinal corpus of clinical narratives.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth Natural Language Processing (NLP) shared task featured a new longitudinal corpus of 1304 records representing 296 diabetic patients. The corpus contains three cohorts: patients who have a diagnosis of coronary artery disease (C...
