PURPOSE: Three of the most commonly identified hamstring strain injury (HSI) risk factors are age, previous HSI, and low levels of eccentric hamstring strength. However, no study has investigated the ability of these risk factors to predict the incid...
Protein secondary structure prediction began in 1951 when Pauling and Corey predicted helical and sheet conformations for protein polypeptide backbone even before the first protein structure was determined. Sixty-five years later, powerful new method...
BACKGROUND: Current diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is suboptimal. We tested the hypothesis that comprehensive machine learning (ML) of left ventricular function at rest and exercise objectively captures difference...

Deep learning describes a class of machine learning algorithms that are capable of combining raw inputs into layers of intermediate features. These algorithms have recently shown impressive results across a variety of domains. Biology and medicine ar...
Robust and effective shape prior modeling from a set of training data remains a challenging task, since the shape variation is complicated, and shape models should preserve local details as well as handle shape noises. To address these challenges, a ...
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of retinal pathologies is a current active area in medical image analysis. Due to the increasing use of retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging technique, a CAD system in retinal OCT is essential to assist op...
