Novel artificial neural network and linear regression based equation for estimating visceral adipose tissue volume.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in fast and reliable assessment of abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume for risk stratification of metabolic disorders. However, imaging based measurement of VAT is costly and limited by scanner avail...

Deep Learning using Convolutional LSTM estimates Biological Age from Physical Activity.

Scientific reports
Human age estimation is an important and difficult challenge. Different biomarkers and numerous approaches have been studied for biological age estimation, each with its advantages and limitations. In this work, we investigate whether physical activi...

Gaussian Process Trajectory Learning and Synthesis of Individualized Gait Motions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a Gaussian process-based method for trajectory learning and generation of individualized gait motions at arbitrary user-designated walking speeds, intended to be used in generating reference motions for robotic gait rehabilitation...

Effects of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status, immune, and inflammatory profiles of gastric cancer patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the effect of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status and the immune and inflammatory profiles of patients with gastric cancer during antineoplastic pretreatment.

Comparison of penile length at 6-24 months between children with unilateral cryptorchidism and a healthy normal cohort.

Investigative and clinical urology
PURPOSE: Urologic diseases affected by testosterone can be associated with smaller penis size compared to the normal population. We sought to compare penile length in children with unilateral cryptorchidism and normative data from a cohort of healthy...

Poor vitamin D status increases the risk of anemia in school children: National Food and Nutrition Surveillance.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations and the risk of anemia in a large cohort of children with consideration for the effects of sex, body mass index (BMI), serum intact parat...

An artificial neural network to predict resting energy expenditure in obesity.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: The resting energy expenditure (REE) determination is important in nutrition for adequate dietary prescription. The gold standard i.e. indirect calorimetry is not available in clinical settings. Thus, several predictive equations h...

Laboratory parameter-based machine learning model for excluding non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population.

Alimentary pharmacology & therapeutics
BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 20%-40% of the general population in developed countries and is an increasingly important cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. Electronic medical records facilitate large-scale epidemiologic...

Prediction of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea by anthropometric features via support vector machine.

PloS one
To develop an applicable prediction for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is still a challenge in clinical practice. We apply a modern machine learning method, the support vector machine to establish a predicting model for the severity of OSA. The suppor...

Prediction of cold and heat patterns using anthropometric measures based on machine learning.

Chinese journal of integrative medicine
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of body shape with cold and heat patterns, to determine which anthropometric measure is the best indicator for discriminating between the two patterns, and to investigate whether using a combination of measures c...
