BACKGROUND & AIMS: Lean muscle and fat mass in the human body are important indicators of the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) accurately measure body composition, but they are c...
INTRODUCTION: Accurate assessment of resting energy expenditure (REE) can guide optimal nutritional prescription in critically ill children. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the gold standard for REE measurement, but its use is limited. Alternatively, RE...
OBJECTIVE: A neural networks approach has been proposed to handle various inputs such as postural, anthropometric and environmental variables in order to estimate self-reported discomfort in picking tasks. An input reduction method has been proposed,...
Muscle fat infiltration (MFI) has been widely reported across cervical spine disorders. The quantification of MFI requires time-consuming and rater-dependent manual segmentation techniques. A convolutional neural network (CNN) model was trained to se...
