Robotic infant surgery with 3 mm instruments: a study in piglets of less than 10 kg body weight.

Journal of robotic surgery
No data exist concerning the appication of a new robotic system with 3 mm instruments (Senhance®, Transenterix) in infants and small children. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the system for its feasibility, performance and safety of robo...

Assessing Dry Weight of Hemodialysis Patients via Sparse Laplacian Regularized RVFL Neural Network with L-Norm.

BioMed research international
Dry weight is the normal weight of hemodialysis patients after hemodialysis. If the amount of water in diabetes is too much (during hemodialysis), the patient will experience hypotension and shock symptoms. Therefore, the correct assessment of the pa...

Physical Features and Vital Signs Predict Serum Albumin and Globulin Concentrations Using Machine Learning.

Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP
OBJECTIVE: Serum protein concentrations are diagnostically and prognostically valuable in cancer and other diseases, but their measurement via blood test is uncomfortable, inconvenient, and costly. This study investigates the possibility of predictin...

Identification of Latent Risk Clinical Attributes for Children Born Under IUGR Condition Using Machine Learning Techniques.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) is a condition in which a fetus does not grow to the expected weight during pregnancy. There are several well documented causes in the literature for this issue, such as maternal disord...

[Leptin sexual dimorphism, insulin resistance, and body composition in normal weight prepubescent].

Revista chilena de pediatria
INTRODUCTION: The prepubertal stage is a critical period of body fat development, in which leptin and insulin re sistance has been associated, however, there are few studies in normal-weight prepubescents. Ob jective: To assess the relationship betwe...

Artificial intelligence as an analytic approximation to evaluate associations between parental feeding behaviours and excess weight in Colombian preschoolers.

The British journal of nutrition
Parental practices can affect children's weight and BMI and may even be related to a high prevalence of obesity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between parents' practices related to feeding their children and excess...

Research on a Dynamic Algorithm for Cow Weighing Based on an SVM and Empirical Wavelet Transform.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Weight is an important indicator of the growth and development of dairy cows. The traditional static weighing methods require considerable human and financial resources, and the existing dynamic weighing algorithms do not consider the influence of th...

Quantifying trunk neuromuscular control using seated balancing and stability threshold.

Journal of biomechanics
Performance during seated balancing is often used to assess trunk neuromuscular control, including evaluating impairments in back pain populations. Balancing in less challenging environments allows for flexibility in control, which may not depend on ...

Bolus pharmacokinetics: moving beyond mass-based dosing to guide drug administration.

Journal of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Despite the common approach of bolus drug dosing using a patient's mass, a more tailored approach would be to use empirically derived pharmacokinetic models. Previously, this could only be possible though the use of computer simulation using programs...
