Deep ECGNet: An Optimal Deep Learning Framework for Monitoring Mental Stress Using Ultra Short-Term ECG Signals.

Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
BACKGROUND: Stress recognition using electrocardiogram (ECG) signals requires the intractable long-term heart rate variability (HRV) parameter extraction process. This study proposes a novel deep learning framework to recognize the stressful states, ...

A multicentre verification study of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this verification study was to compare the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) to the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In Tube (QFT-GIT). The new QFT-Plus test contains an extra antigen tube which, according to the manufacturer additionally...

Alzheimer's disease and driving: review of the literature and consensus guideline from Belgian dementia experts and the Belgian road safety institute endorsed by the Belgian Medical Association.

Acta neurologica Belgica
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly prevalent condition and its prevalence is expected to further increase due to the aging of the general population. It is obvious that the diagnosis of AD has implications for driving. Finally, driving discussions ...

Predictive modelling of survival and length of stay in critically ill patients using sequential organ failure scores.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
INTRODUCTION: The length of stay of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an indication of patient ICU resource usage and varies considerably. Planning of postoperative ICU admissions is important as ICUs often have no nonoccupi...

Automated Evaluation of D-Score for Facial Dysmorphism Analysis in Central African Children With Developmental Disorders.

Annals of human genetics
INTRODUCTION: Dysmorphism is an important characteristic, but its evaluation is largely subjective. A good clinical assessment (dysmorphism) can facilitate a more accurate and efficient diagnosis. We therefore evaluated an automated artificial intell...

The Ethics of Socially Assistive Robots in Aged Care. A Focus Group Study With Older Adults in Flanders, Belgium.

The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences
OBJECTIVES: Socially assistive robots (SARs) need to be studied from older adults' perspective, given their predicted future ubiquity in aged-care settings. Current ethical discourses on SARs in aged care are uninformed by primary stakeholders' ethic...
