BACKGROUND: For some understudied populations, genotype data is minimal for genotype-phenotype prediction. However, we can use the data of some other large populations to learn about the disease-causing SNPs and use that knowledge for the genotype-ph...

Neurogenic voice disorders (NVDs) are caused by damage or malfunction of the central or peripheral nervous system that controls vocal fold movement. In this paper, we investigate the potential of the Fisher vector (FV) encoding in automatic detection...

The nonlinear dynamic features can effectively describe the acoustic characteristics of normal and pathological voice. In this paper, the phase space reconstruction and convolution neural network are used to classify the normal and pathological voice...
BACKGROUND: There is no simple model to screen for Alzheimer's disease, partly because the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease itself is complex-typically involving expensive and sometimes invasive tests not commonly available outside highly specialised...

OBJECTIVE: Adductor spasmodic dysphonia (AdSD) is a neurogenic dystonia, which causes spasms of the laryngeal muscles. This disorder mainly affects production of connected speech. To understand how AdSD affects vocal fold (VF) movements and hence, th...
Estrogen can promote the acceleration of bone maturation and phthalate esters (PAEs) have estrogen-mimicking effects. We investigated whether PAEs are associated with the acceleration of bone age (BA) in girls with early onset of puberty (EOP). This ...
