A risk management model for familial breast cancer: A new application using Fuzzy Cognitive Map method.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Breast cancer is the most deadly disease affecting women and thus it is natural for women aged 40-49 years (who have a family history of breast cancer or other related cancers) to assess their personal risk for developing familial breast cancer (FBC)...

Combined Clinic-Home Approach for Upper Limb Robotic Therapy After Stroke: A Pilot Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of a combined clinic-home intervention using a robotic elbow brace and, secondarily, to collect preliminary data on the efficacy of this clinic-home intervention.

Laparoscopic and robot-assisted hysterectomy for uterine cancer: a comparison of costs and complications.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Increasingly, robotic surgery is being used for total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lymph node dissection for uterine cancer. The purpose of this study was to compare the costs and complications among women undergoing ...

Robotic therapy for chronic stroke: general recovery of impairment or improved task-specific skill?

Journal of neurophysiology
There is a great need to develop new approaches for rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke. Robotic therapy is a promising form of neurorehabilitation that can be delivered in higher doses than conventional therapy. Here we sought to determine...

Computational Discrimination of Breast Cancer for Korean Women Based on Epidemiologic Data Only.

Journal of Korean medical science
Breast cancer is the second leading cancer for Korean women and its incidence rate has been increasing annually. If early diagnosis were implemented with epidemiologic data, the women could easily assess breast cancer risk using internet. National Ca...

An Artificial Neural Network Stratifies the Risks of Reintervention and Mortality after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair; a Retrospective Observational study.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Lifelong surveillance after endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is considered mandatory to detect potentially life-threatening endograft complications. A minority of patients require reintervention but cannot be...

Assessment of brain-machine interfaces from the perspective of people with paralysis.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: One of the main goals of brain-machine interface (BMI) research is to restore function to people with paralysis. Currently, multiple BMI design features are being investigated, based on various input modalities (externally applied and surg...

Prediction of Outcome in Acute Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding Using Gradient Boosting.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: There are no widely used models in clinical care to predict outcome in acute lower gastro-intestinal bleeding (ALGIB). If available these could help triage patients at presentation to appropriate levels of care/intervention and improve me...

MILS in a general surgery unit: learning curve, indications, and limitations.

Updates in surgery
Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) is going to be a method with a wide diffusion even in general surgery units. Organization, learning curve effect, and the environment are crucial issues to evaluate before starting a program of minimally invasi...
