Multimodal analysis of functional and structural disconnection in Alzheimer's disease using multiple kernel SVM.

Human brain mapping
Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients exhibit alterations in the functional connectivity between spatially segregated brain regions which may be related to both local gray matter (GM) atrophy as well as a decline in the fiber integrity of the underlying ...

Sample entropy analysis of EEG signals via artificial neural networks to model patients' consciousness level based on anesthesiologists experience.

BioMed research international
Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, as it can express the human brain's activities and reflect awareness, have been widely used in many research and medical equipment to build a noninvasive monitoring index to the depth of anesthesia (DOA). Bispectra...

Serum tests, liver stiffness and artificial neural networks for diagnosing cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

Digestive and liver disease : official journal of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic performance of biochemical scores and artificial neural network models for portal hypertension and cirrhosis is not well established.

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...

Analyses of a cirrhotic patient's evolution using self organizing mapping and Child-Pugh scoring.

Journal of medical systems
Due to the importance of cirrhosis evolution, this study examined cirrhotic patients using Self Organizing Mapping (SOM) based on the Child-Pugh scoring method. Because Colored Doppler Ultrasound (CDU) has too many parameters, scoring can be a very d...

Robotic distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer patients with high body mass index: comparison with conventional laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a treatment of choice for early-stage gastric cancer. However, applying MIS to gastric patients with high body mass index (BMI) is technically challenging, especially when performing D2 lymp...

Obesity and perioperative pulmonary complications in robotic gynecologic surgery.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Robotic gynecological surgery is feasible in obese patients, but there remain concerns about the safety of this approach because the positioning required for pelvic surgery can exacerbate obesity-related changes in respiratory physiology. ...

Predicting Prodromal Alzheimer's Disease in Subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Machine Learning Classification of Multimodal Multicenter Diffusion-Tensor and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data.

Journal of neuroimaging : official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients show early changes in white matter (WM) structural integrity. We studied the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in assessing WM alterations in the predementia stage of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
