Artificial intelligence in neurodegenerative disease research: use of IBM Watson to identify additional RNA-binding proteins altered in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Acta neuropathologica
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatments. Numerous RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown to be altered in ALS, with mutations in 11 RBPs causing familial forms of the disease, a...

Deep learning predictions of survival based on MRI in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neuromuscular disease, with large variation in survival between patients. Currently, it remains rather difficult to predict survival based on clinical parameters alone. Here, we set out to use clin...

Design of Biomedical Robots for Phenotype Prediction Problems.

Journal of computational biology : a journal of computational molecular cell biology
Genomics has been used with varying degrees of success in the context of drug discovery and in defining mechanisms of action for diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative and rare diseases in the quest for orphan drugs. To improve its utility, accur...

A novel approach for analysis of altered gait variability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Gait variability reflects important information for the maintenance of human beings' health. For pathological populations, changes in gait variability signal the presence of abnormal motor control strategies. Quantitative analysis of the altered gait...

Molecular classification of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by unsupervised clustering of gene expression in motor cortex.

Neurobiology of disease
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive and ultimately fatal neurodegenerative disease, caused by the loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Although 10% of ALS cases are familial (FALS), the majority are sporadic (S...

New developments in imaging in ALS.

Journal of neurology
Neuroimaging in ALS has contributed considerable academic insights in recent years demonstrating genotype-specific topological changes decades before phenoconversion and characterising longitudinal propagation patterns in specific phenotypes. It has ...

Association of Deep Learning-based Chest CT-derived Respiratory Parameters with Disease Progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Radiology
Background Forced vital capacity (FVC) is a standard measure of respiratory function in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but has limitations, particularly for patients with bulbar impairment. Purpose To determine the value of deep le...

A Multi-branch Attention-based Deep Learning Method for ALS Identification with sMRI Data.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The structural Magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) of spinal cord plays a significant role in the clinical diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). But due to small cross-sectional area in the axial plane and long sagittal/coronal expansion of...

Add-on treatment with Cerebrolysin improves clinical symptoms in patients with ALS: results from a prospective, single-center, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, phase II study.

Journal of medicine and life
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating and progressive neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options available. Cerebrolysin is a drug candidate for the treatment of ALS because of its neuroprotective and neuroregenerative ef...

Air Efficient Soft Wearable Robot for High-Torque Elbow Flexion Assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Recent developments in soft wearable robots have shown promise for assistive and rehabilitative use-cases. For inflatable approaches, a major challenge in developing portable systems is finding a balance between portability, performance, and usabilit...
