Discrimination of "hot potato voice" caused by upper airway obstruction utilizing a support vector machine.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: "Hot potato voice" (HPV) is a thick, muffled voice caused by pharyngeal or laryngeal diseases characterized by severe upper airway obstruction, including acute epiglottitis and peritonsillitis. To develop a method for determini...

Predicted airway obstruction distribution based on dynamical lung ventilation data: A coupled modeling-machine learning methodology.

International journal for numerical methods in biomedical engineering
In asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, some airways of the tracheobronchial tree can be constricted, from moderate narrowing up to closure. Those pathological patterns of obstructions affect the lung ventilation distribution. While some...

High-accuracy detection of airway obstruction in asthma using machine learning algorithms and forced oscillation measurements.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The main pathologic feature of asthma is episodic airway obstruction. This is usually detected by spirometry and body plethysmography. These tests, however, require a high degree of collaboration and maximal effort on the p...

A pilot study of upper airway management using a remote-controlled artificial muscle device during propofol anesthesia.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the jaw closure using a pneumatic actuator device affect airway collapsibility and resistance during propofol anesthesia.

BigLSTM: Recurrent neural network for the treatment of anomalous temporal signals. Application in the prediction of endotracheal obstruction in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit.

Computers in biology and medicine
Real-world applications, particularly in the medical field, often handle irregular time signals (ITS) with non-uniform intervals between measurements. These irregularities arise due to missing data, inconsistent sampling frequencies, and multi-sensor...
