Microbial contamination and efficacy of disinfection procedures of companion robots in care homes.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Paro and other robot animals can improve wellbeing for older adults and people with dementia, through reducing depression, agitation and medication use. However, nursing and care staff we contacted expressed infection control concerns. Li...

Assessment of and polymorphisms in age-related macular degeneration using classic and machine-learning approaches.

Ophthalmic genetics
BACKGROUND: and are pivotal genes driving increased risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) among several populations. Here, we performed a hospital-based case-control study to evaluate the effects of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (...

Neurocognitive robot-assisted rehabilitation of hand function: a randomized control trial on motor recovery in subacute stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Hand function is often impaired after stroke, strongly affecting the ability to perform daily activities. Upper limb robotic devices have been developed to complement rehabilitation therapy offered to persons who suffered a stroke, but th...

Linear predictive coding distinguishes spectral EEG features of Parkinson's disease.

Parkinsonism & related disorders
OBJECTIVE: We have developed and validated a novel EEG-based signal processing approach to distinguish PD and control patients: Linear-predictive-coding EEG Algorithm for PD (LEAPD). This method efficiently encodes EEG time series into features that ...

A novel image signature-based radiomics method to achieve precise diagnosis and prognostic stratification of gliomas.

Laboratory investigation; a journal of technical methods and pathology
Radiomics has potential advantages in the noninvasive histopathological and molecular diagnosis of gliomas. We aimed to develop a novel image signature (IS)-based radiomics model to achieve multilayered preoperative diagnosis and prognostic stratific...

The role of sacubitril/valsartan in the treatment of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in hypertensive patients with comorbidities: From clinical trials to real-world settings.

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie
BACKGROUND: Sacubitril/valsartan, the first agent to be approved in a new class of drugs called angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity compared to enalapril in outpatient su...

Machine learning models predicting multidrug resistant urinary tract infections using "DsaaS".

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The scope of this work is to build a Machine Learning model able to predict patients risk to contract a multidrug resistant urinary tract infection (MDR UTI) after hospitalization. To achieve this goal, we used different popular Machine L...

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Oncology Clinical Decision Support System for Multidisciplinary Teams.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Watson for Oncology (WfO) is a clinical decision support system driven by artificial intelligence. In Korea, WfO is used by multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) caring for cancer patients. This study aimed to investigate the effect of WfO use on hospital s...

Machine learning-based automated classification of headache disorders using patient-reported questionnaires.

Scientific reports
Classification of headache disorders is dependent on a subjective self-report from patients and its interpretation by physicians. We aimed to apply objective data-driven machine learning approaches to analyze patient-reported symptoms and test the fe...
