Social skills training for children with autism spectrum disorder using a robotic behavioral intervention system.

Autism research : official journal of the International Society for Autism Research
We designed a robot system that assisted in behavioral intervention programs of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The eight-session intervention program was based on the discrete trial teaching protocol and focused on two basic social ski...

Detecting central fixation by means of artificial neural networks in a pediatric vision screener using retinal birefringence scanning.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Reliable detection of central fixation and eye alignment is essential in the diagnosis of amblyopia ("lazy eye"), which can lead to blindness. Our lab has developed and reported earlier a pediatric vision screener that performs scanning o...

Aging, frailty and complex networks.

Biogerontology
When people age their mortality rate increases exponentially, following Gompertz's law. Even so, individuals do not die from old age. Instead, they accumulate age-related illnesses and conditions and so become increasingly vulnerable to death from va...

Controlling testing volume for respiratory viruses using machine learning and text mining.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Viral testing for pediatric inpatients with respiratory symptoms is common, with considerable associated charges. In an attempt to reduce testing volumes, we studied whether data available at the time of admission could aid in identifying children wi...

Premature atherosclerosis after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood.

Annals of agricultural and environmental medicine : AAEM
INTRODUCTION: Late cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients treated for common malignancies of childhood. Late cardiotoxicity include increased development of atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis - rel...

WAKE-Up Exoskeleton to Assist Children With Cerebral Palsy: Design and Preliminary Evaluation in Level Walking.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents the modular design and control of a novel compliant lower limbmulti-joint exoskeleton for the rehabilitation of ankle kneemobility and locomotion of pediatric patients with neurological diseases, such as Cerebral Palsy (CP). The d...

TNF-α increases in the CSF of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before CNS relapse.

Blood cells, molecules & diseases
There is scarce information regarding the concentration of cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their clinical association with CNS status. A prospective analysis of 40 patients <18years with ...

Glycosaminoglycan levels in dried blood spots of patients with mucopolysaccharidoses and mucolipidoses.

Molecular genetics and metabolism
UNLABELLED: Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) and mucolipidoses (ML) are groups of lysosomal storage disorders in which lysosomal hydrolases are deficient leading to accumulation of undegraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), throughout the body, subsequently r...

Metrics of brain network architecture capture the impact of disease in children with epilepsy.

NeuroImage. Clinical
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Epilepsy is associated with alterations in the structural framework of the cerebral network. The aim of this study was to measure the potential of global metrics of network architecture derived from resting state functional ...
