Impact of Positive Surgical Margins after Radical Prostatectomy on Disease Progression and Adjuvant Treatment in Pathologically Localized Prostate Cancer.

Collegium antropologicum
The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of margin positivity in clinically and pathologically localized prostate cancer (pT2) after radical prostatectomy on biochemical recurrence and time to adjuvant treatment. We analyzed data from 371 pati...

Subject-Specific Sparse Dictionary Learning for Atlas-Based Brain MRI Segmentation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Quantitative measurements from segmentations of human brain magnetic resonance (MR) images provide important biomarkers for normal aging and disease progression. In this paper, we propose a patch-based tissue classification method from MR images that...

Robotic Hysterectomy for Endometrial Cancer in Obese Patients With Comorbidities: Evaluating Postoperative Complications.

International journal of gynecological cancer : official journal of the International Gynecological Cancer Society
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to determine (1) if there is a relationship between increasing body mass index (BMI) and postoperative complications in patients undergoing robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and (2) if there are ad...

Robotic neurorehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke: psychological well-being beyond motor improvement.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Although gait abnormality is one of the most disabling events following stroke, cognitive, and psychological impairments can be devastating. The Lokomat is a robotic that has been used widely for gait rehabilitation in several movement disorders, esp...

Robotic psychophysics system for assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation of the neurological causes of falls in the elderly.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Falls are the leading causes of unintentional injuries in the elderly and thus a pose a major hazard to our ageing society. We present the FOHEPO (FOot HEight POsitioning) system to measure, diagnose and eventually rehabilitate ageing-related neurolo...

Online control of a humanoid robot through hand movement imagination using CSP and ECoG based features.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Intention recognition through decoding brain activity could lead to a powerful and independent Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) allowing for intuitive control of devices like robots. A common strategy for realizing such a system is the motor imagery (M...

Characterization of complexity in the electroencephalograph activity of Alzheimer's disease based on fuzzy entropy.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
In this paper, experimental neurophysiologic recording and statistical analysis are combined to investigate the nonlinear characteristic and the cognitive function of the brain. Fuzzy approximate entropy and fuzzy sample entropy are applied to charac...

Quantitative analysis of breast echotexture patterns in automated breast ultrasound images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Breast tissue composition is considered to be associated with breast cancer risk. This study aimed to develop a computer-aided classification (CAC) system to automatically classify echotexture patterns as heterogeneous or homogeneous using a...
