Development and characterization of muscle-based actuators for self-stabilizing swimming biorobots.

Lab on a chip
Biorobots that harness the power generated by living muscle cells have recently gained interest as an alternative to traditional mechanical robots. However, robust and reliable operation of these biorobots still remains a challenge. Toward this end, ...

Automatic coronary artery calcium scoring in cardiac CT angiography using paired convolutional neural networks.

Medical image analysis
The amount of coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong and independent predictor of cardiovascular events. CAC is clinically quantified in cardiac calcium scoring CT (CSCT), but it has been shown that cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) may also be ...

Predicting Renal Failure Progression in Chronic Kidney Disease Using Integrated Intelligent Fuzzy Expert System.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a covert disease. Accurate prediction of CKD progression over time is necessary for reducing its costs and mortality rates. The present study proposes an adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for pre...

Abnormal calcium, 25(OH)vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone after biliopancreatic diversion; correction through elongation of the common tract and reduction of the gastric pouch.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a surgical technique burdened, in some instances, by clinical evidence of malabsorption and intractable diarrhoea.

Using support vector machines to improve elemental ion identification in macromolecular crystal structures.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography
In the process of macromolecular model building, crystallographers must examine electron density for isolated atoms and differentiate sites containing structured solvent molecules from those containing elemental ions. This task requires specific know...

GTM-Based QSAR Models and Their Applicability Domains.

Molecular informatics
In this paper we demonstrate that Generative Topographic Mapping (GTM), a machine learning method traditionally used for data visualisation, can be efficiently applied to QSAR modelling using probability distribution functions (PDF) computed in the l...

Evaluating safe infrared neural stimulation parameters: Calcium dynamics and excitotoxicity thresholds in dorsal root ganglia neurons.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: As a promising neural stimulation technique, infrared neural stimulation (INS) has recently gained significant attention due to its ability to stimulate neuronal activities without needing exogenous agents. NIR light is absorbed by water ...

Advanced SERSome-based artificial-intelligence technology for identifying medicinal and edible homologs.

Talanta
Medicinal and edible homologs (MEHs) offer significant preventive and therapeutic benefits for various diseases and health functions. However, the widespread application of MEHs faces significant challenges, particularly in quality control and rapid ...

Spatiotemporal calcium signaling patterns underlying opposing effects of histamine and TAS2R agonists in airway smooth muscle.

American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology
Intracellular calcium (Ca) release via phospholipase C (PLC) following G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activation is typically linked to membrane depolarization and airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction. However, recent findings show that bitter t...
