Neural networks as a tool to predict syncope risk in the Emergency Department.

Europace : European pacing, arrhythmias, and cardiac electrophysiology : journal of the working groups on cardiac pacing, arrhythmias, and cardiac cellular electrophysiology of the European Society of Cardiology
AIMS: There is no universally accepted tool for the risk stratification of syncope patients in the Emergency Department. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term predictive accuracy of an artificial neural network (ANN) in stratifying ...

[Three-axis displacement classification of pelvic fracture and its reduction principles].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: Based on images of pelvic CT three-dimensional reconstruction, to establish three-dimensional coordinate system of pelvis and investigate the three-axis displacement classification of pelvic fracture and its reduction principles.

Arterial stiffness and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in chronic kidney disease patients.

Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992)
OBJECTIVE: Arterial stiffness refers to arterial wall rigidity, particularly developing in central vessels. Arterial stiffness increases in early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all cause mortali...

Slow Versus Fast Robot-Assisted Locomotor Training After Severe Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Robot-assisted locomotor training on a bodyweight-supported treadmill is a rehabilitation intervention that compels repetitive practice of gait movements. Standard treadmill speed may elicit rhythmic movements generated primar...

Reducing Circumduction and Hip Hiking During Hemiparetic Walking Through Targeted Assistance of the Paretic Limb Using a Soft Robotic Exosuit.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects on common poststroke gait compensations of a soft wearable robot (exosuit) designed to assist the paretic limb during hemiparetic walking.

Identifying Distinct Subgroups of ICU Patients: A Machine Learning Approach.

Critical care medicine
OBJECTIVES: Identifying subgroups of ICU patients with similar clinical needs and trajectories may provide a framework for more efficient ICU care through the design of care platforms tailored around patients' shared needs. However, objective methods...

Enhancing Risk Assessment in Patients Receiving Chronic Opioid Analgesic Therapy Using Natural Language Processing.

Pain medicine (Malden, Mass.)
OBJECTIVES: Clinical guidelines for the use of opioids in chronic noncancer pain recommend assessing risk for aberrant drug-related behaviors prior to initiating opioid therapy. Despite recent dramatic increases in prescription opioid misuse and abus...

Automated Extraction of VTE Events From Narrative Radiology Reports in Electronic Health Records: A Validation Study.

Medical care
BACKGROUND: Surveillance of venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) is necessary for improving patient safety in acute care hospitals, but current detection methods are inaccurate and inefficient. With the growing availability of clinical narratives in an ele...

[Effectiveness analysis of surgical treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck fracture and subtrochanteric fracture].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effectiveness of intramedullary nail fixation with selective cable wiring in the treatment of ipsilateral femoral neck fracture and subtrochanteric fracture.
