Renal impairment and outcome in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

The American journal of emergency medicine
OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to ascertain the prevalence of renal impairment among patients with a takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) episode and whether clinical outcomes are related to renal function.

A Clinically Relevant Method of Analyzing Continuous Change in Robotic Upper Extremity Chronic Stroke Rehabilitation.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Robots designed for rehabilitation of the upper extremity after stroke facilitate high rates of repetition during practice of movements and record precise kinematic data, providing a method to investigate motor recovery profiles over time...

Abnormal calcium, 25(OH)vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone after biliopancreatic diversion; correction through elongation of the common tract and reduction of the gastric pouch.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a surgical technique burdened, in some instances, by clinical evidence of malabsorption and intractable diarrhoea.

Measuring empathy for human and robot hand pain using electroencephalography.

Scientific reports
This study provides the first physiological evidence of humans' ability to empathize with robot pain and highlights the difference in empathy for humans and robots. We performed electroencephalography in 15 healthy adults who observed either human- o...

An Effective Antifreeze Protein Predictor with Ensemble Classifiers and Comprehensive Sequence Descriptors.

International journal of molecular sciences
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) play a pivotal role in the antifreeze effect of overwintering organisms. They have a wide range of applications in numerous fields, such as improving the production of crops and the quality of frozen foods. Accurate identif...

Factors contribute to efficiency of specimen concentration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by centrifugation and magnetic beads.

International journal of mycobacteriology
BACKGROUND: A concentration of specimen is recommended for the effective recovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), but the bacteriological efficiency is not well evaluated. The present study evaluated the factors contributing to concentration eff...

Identifying the Basal Ganglia network model markers for medication-induced impulsivity in Parkinson's disease patients.

PloS one
Impulsivity, i.e. irresistibility in the execution of actions, may be prominent in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients who are treated with dopamine precursors or dopamine receptor agonists. In this study, we combine clinical investigations with comput...

Neurons from the adult human dentate nucleus: neural networks in the neuron classification.

Journal of theoretical biology
OBJECTIVES: Topological (central vs. border neuron type) and morphological classification of adult human dentate nucleus neurons according to their quantified histomorphological properties using neural networks on real and virtual neuron samples.

Estimation of teaching-learning-based optimization primer design using regression analysis for different melting temperature calculations.

IEEE transactions on nanobioscience
Primers plays important role in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments, thus it is necessary to select characteristic primers. Unfortunately, manual primer design manners are time-consuming and easy to get human negligence because many PCR const...

Humanoid robotics in health care: An exploration of children's and parents' emotional reactions.

Journal of health psychology
A new non-pharmacological method of distraction was tested with 57 children during their annual flu vaccination. Given children's growing enthusiasm for technological devices, a humanoid robot was programmed to interact with them while a nurse admini...
