Robot-assisted radial forearm free flap harvesting: a propensity score-matched case-control study.

Journal of robotic surgery
Although some surgeons prefer anterolateral thigh and latissimus dorsi flap for soft tissue reconstruction in the head and neck area because it minimizes donor site complications, the radial forearm flap remains the workhorse for soft tissue reconstr...

A tree-based modeling approach for matched case-control studies.

Statistics in medicine
Conditional logistic regression (CLR) is the indisputable standard method for the analysis of matched case-control studies. However, CLR is strongly restricted with respect to the inclusion of non-linear effects and interactions of confounding variab...

Deep learning of renal scans in children with antenatal hydronephrosis.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION: Antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) is one of the most common anomalies identified on prenatal ultrasound, found in up to 4.5% of all pregnancies. Children with ANH are surveilled with repeated renal ultrasound and when there is high suspici...

Transfer learning for genotype-phenotype prediction using deep learning models.

BMC bioinformatics
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...

Recognition of the Effect of Vocal Exercises by Fuzzy Triangular Naive Bayes, a Machine Learning Classifier: A Preliminary Analysis.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
OBJECTIVES: Machine learning (ML) methods allow the development of expert systems for pattern recognition and predictive analysis of intervention outcomes. It has been used in Voice Sciences, mainly to discriminate between healthy and dysphonic voice...

Exactech Equinoxe anatomic versus reverse total shoulder arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis: case controlled comparisons using the machine learning-derived Shoulder Arthroplasty Smart score.

Journal of shoulder and elbow surgery
BACKGROUND: The role of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GHOA) with an intact rotator cuff remains unclear with prior investigations demonstrating similar patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to anatomi...

Pathological Voice Detection Based on Phase Reconstitution and Convolutional Neural Network.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
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...

A deep learning model for detection of Alzheimer's disease based on retinal photographs: a retrospective, multicentre case-control study.

The Lancet. Digital health
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...

Deep-Learning-Based Representation of Vocal Fold Dynamics in Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia during Connected Speech in High-Speed Videoendoscopy.

Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation
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...
