The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Recently, anatomical designs in total knee arthroplasty are introduced to address asymmetry of the resected tibia cutting surface. It is still not well known how much improvement would be achieved in total knee arthroplasty, especially in...

The effect of geographical indices on left ventricular structure in healthy Han Chinese population.

International journal of biometeorology
The left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) and interventricular septum thickness (IVST) are generally regarded as the functional parts of the left ventricular (LV) structure. This paper aims to examine the effects of geographical indices o...

A Character Level Based and Word Level Based Approach for Chinese-Vietnamese Machine Translation.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Chinese and Vietnamese have the same isolated language; that is, the words are not delimited by spaces. In machine translation, word segmentation is often done first when translating from Chinese or Vietnamese into different languages (typically Engl...

Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and metabolic syndrome in a Japanese working population: The Furukawa Nutrition and Health Study.

OBJECTIVE: Increasing evidence has suggested a protective role of vitamin D on metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, studies addressing this issue are limited in Asia and it remains unclear whether calcium could modify the association. We examined the ...

Dietary pattern, serum magnesium, ferritin, C-reactive protein and anaemia among older people.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Epidemiological data of dietary patterns and anaemia among older Chinese remains extremely scarce. We examined the association between dietary patterns and anaemia in older Chinese, and to assess whether biomarkers of serum magnesi...

Automated Classification of Epiphyses in the Distal Radius and Ulna using a Support Vector Machine.

Journal of forensic sciences
The aim of this study was to automatically classify epiphyses in the distal radius and ulna using a support vector machine (SVM) and to examine the accuracy of the epiphyseal growth grades generated by the support vector machine. X-ray images of dist...
