Analyzing Activity Behavior and Movement in a Naturalistic Environment Using Smart Home Techniques.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
One of the many services that intelligent systems can provide is the ability to analyze the impact of different medical conditions on daily behavior. In this study, we use smart home and wearable sensors to collect data, while ( n = 84) older adults ...

Uroflow Stop Test and Potency Recovery: A Surrogate for Pelvic Floor Integrity Post Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy?

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To study the relation between uroflow Stop Test and early recovery of potency following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). We recently showed that the ability to completely stop urine flow during voiding, measured objectively by ...

Changes in depression stigma after the Germanwings crash - Findings from German population surveys.

Journal of affective disorders
BACKGROUND: Media coverage of the Germanwings plane crash intensely focused on the co-pilot's mental illness and was criticized for potentially increasing depression stigma. We explored whether stigma beliefs towards persons with depression changed i...

Robot-supported upper limb training in a virtual learning environment : a pilot randomized controlled trial in persons with MS.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Despite the functional impact of upper limb dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS), effects of intensive exercise programs and specifically robot-supported training have been rarely investigated in persons with advanced MS.

Experience matters: long-term results of pulmonary vein isolation using a robotic navigation system for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society
BACKGROUND: Long-term results after circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) using a robotic navigation system (RNS) have not yet been reported.

Identifying risk factors for heart disease over time: Overview of 2014 i2b2/UTHealth shared task Track 2.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The second track of the 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task focused on identifying medical risk factors related to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in the narratives of longitudinal medical records of diabetic patients. The risk f...

Agile text mining for the 2014 i2b2/UTHealth Cardiac risk factors challenge.

Journal of biomedical informatics
This paper describes the use of an agile text mining platform (Linguamatics' Interactive Information Extraction Platform, I2E) to extract document-level cardiac risk factors in patient records as defined in the i2b2/UTHealth 2014 challenge. The appro...

Exploring multifractal-based features for mild Alzheimer's disease classification.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: Multifractal applications to resting state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) time series for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) are still limited. We aim to address two issues: (I) if and what multifractal features are sufficiently discriminative to...

Influence of the central venous site on the transpulmonary thermodilution parameters in critically ill burn patients.

Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries
The aim of this study was to verify the measurement concordance of cardiac index (CI), extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and global end diastolic volume index (GEDVI) with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) between the jugular and femoral acc...

Robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in gynaecological neoplasms: comparison of extraperitoneal and transperitoneal lymphadenectomy.

Archives of gynecology and obstetrics
OBJECTIVE: The main aim of our study is to review the till now available literature data on the role of robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in gynaecological cancers by comparing the extraperitoneal versus the transperitoneal approach.
