Effect of reducing assistance during robot-assisted gait training on step length asymmetry in patients with hemiplegic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: An assist-as-needed robot-assisted gait training protocol was recently developed. It allows active movement during training, but its exact criteria remain unknown. Asymmetric step length is a common abnormal gait pattern in hemiplegic str...

Predictive markers of depression in hypertension.

Medicine
Hypertension and depression, as 2 major public health issues, are closely related. For patients having hypertension, in particular, depression is a risk factor for mortality and jeopardizes their wellbeing. The aim of the study is to apply support ve...

Incidence and location of positive surgical margin among open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients: a single institutional analysis.

Japanese journal of clinical oncology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the positive surgical margin rates and locations in radical prostatectomy among three surgical approaches, including open radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Automated Segmentation and Quantification of Drusen in Fundus and Optical Coherence Tomography Images for Detection of ARMD.

Journal of digital imaging
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the most common retinal syndromes that occurs in elderly people. Different eye testing techniques such as fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are used to clinically examine the A...

Rethinking Skin Lesion Segmentation in a Convolutional Classifier.

Journal of digital imaging
Melanoma is a fatal form of skin cancer when left undiagnosed. Computer-aided diagnosis systems powered by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can improve diagnostic accuracy and save lives. CNNs have been successfully used in both skin lesion segme...

Prediction of Individual Disease Conversion in Early AMD Using Artificial Intelligence.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: While millions of individuals show early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) signs, yet have excellent vision, the risk of progression to advanced AMD with legal blindness is highly variable. We suggest means of artificial intelligence to...

A Two Stage Approach for the Automatic Detection of Insomnia.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Chronic insomnia can significantly impair an individual's quality of life leading to a high societal cost. Unfortunately, limited automated tools exist that can assist clinicians in the timely detection of insomnia. In this paper, we propose a two st...

Isometry Invariant Shape Descriptors for Abnormality Detection on Brain Surfaces Affected by Alzheimer's Disease.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive brain disorder, is the most common neurodegenerative disease in older adults. There is a need for brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarkers to help assess AD progression and intervention effe...

Diagnosis of prostate cancer in a Chinese population by using machine learning methods.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
An early diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) is key for the successful treatment. Although invasive prostate biopsies can provide a definitive diagnosis, the number of biopsies should be reduced to avoid side effects and risks especially for the men wi...
