Human static postures analysis using empirical mode decomposition.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The goal of this paper is to analyze the human stability during static postures using stabilometric signals. The effects of subject's visual input, feet position, age and gender are analyzed. Twenty eight healthy subjects have participated in this st...

Fall detection algorithms for real-world falls harvested from lumbar sensors in the elderly population: a machine learning approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Automatic fall detection will promote independent living and reduce the consequences of falls in the elderly by ensuring people can confidently live safely at home for linger. In laboratory studies inertial sensor technology has been shown capable of...

Prediction of individual prosthesis size for valve-sparing aortic root reconstruction based on geometric features.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Valve-sparing aortic root reconstruction is an up- and-coming approach for patients suffering from aortic valve insufficiencies which promises to significantly reduce complications. However, the success of the treatment strongly depends on the challe...

Visualizing patient journals by combining vital signs monitoring and natural language processing.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a data-driven approach to graphically presenting text-based patient journals while still maintaining all textual information. The system first creates a timeline representation of a patients' physiological condition during an admi...

Recent machine learning advancements in sensor-based mobility analysis: Deep learning for Parkinson's disease assessment.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The development of wearable sensors has opened the door for long-term assessment of movement disorders. However, there is still a need for developing methods suitable to monitor motor symptoms in and outside the clinic. The purpose of this paper was ...

[Cancer and genitourinary tuberculosis (literature review and clinical observations)].

Urologiia (Moscow, Russia : 1999)
Tuberculosis has been regarded as a counter-regulatory process to cancer. The development of tumors in the kidney that is affected by tuberculosis is considered as extremely rare, almost impossible case. The analysis of the literature on combined/seq...

[Salvage external beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer recurrence after high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation].

Urologiia (Moscow, Russia : 1999)
The article outlines oncological and functional outcomes of salvage external beam radiation therapy after HIFU-ablation in 49 patients. The study determined overall and relapse-free survival, compared the rates of adverse events stratified by CTCAE, ...

Elevated Preoperative Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio Indicates Poor Survival in Patients with Resected High-grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma.

Clinical laboratory
BACKGROUND: Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is widely used as an inflammation-related cancer biomarker. However, since its prognostic importance in resected high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) is still unknown, we investigated the associati...

Serum Level of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Clinical laboratory
BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by the upregulation of a large number of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The aim of the study was to investigate the level of MMP-9 in the sera of HNSCC patients and its rel...

Quantitative ultrasound assessment of breast tumor response to chemotherapy using a multi-parameter approach.

Oncotarget
PURPOSE: This study demonstrated the ability of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters in providing an early prediction of tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC).
