Prevalence of gait impairments increases with age and is associated with mobility decline, fall risk and loss of independence. For geriatric patients, the risk of having gait disorders is even higher. Consequently, gait assessment in the clinics has ...
BACKGROUND: Despite high success rates, flap failure remains an inherent risk in microvascular breast reconstruction. Identifying patients who are at high risk for flap failure would enable us to recommend alternative reconstructive techniques. Howev...

Conventional glucose monitoring methods for the growing numbers of diabetic patients around the world are invasive, painful, costly and, time-consuming. Complications aroused due to the abnormal blood sugar levels in diabetic patients have created th...
The current standard for evaluating axillary nodal burden in clinically node negative breast cancer is sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). However, the accuracy of SLNB to detect nodal stage N2-3 remains debatable. Nomograms can help the decision-mak...
Numerous studies have established that estimated brain age constitutes a valuable biomarker that is predictive of cognitive decline and various neurological diseases. In this work, we curate a large-scale brain MRI data set of healthy individuals, on...
Due to the repercussion of falls on both the health and self-sufficiency of older people and on the financial sustainability of healthcare systems, the study of wearable fall detection systems (FDSs) has gained much attention during the last years. T...
Accurate identification of axillary lymph node (ALN) involvement in patients with early-stage breast cancer is important for determining appropriate axillary treatment options and therefore avoiding unnecessary axillary surgery and complications. Her...
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that artificial agents may be a promising source of social support for humans. However, the bulk of this research has been conducted in the context of social support interventions that specifically address stres...

The advent of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has allowed transoral approaches for parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumours to be re-evaluated. It provides enhanced visualisation and instrument access for appropriate tumours. We describe a specific techni...
BACKGROUND: Estimation of the risk of malignancy in pulmonary nodules detected by CT is central in clinical management. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) offers an opportunity to improve risk prediction. Here we compare the performance of an AI...
