Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder that results from decreased von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity <0.30 iu/mL. Therefore, the diagnosis of type 3 VWD in patients with bleeding requires finding a VWF:Ag and/or VWF:platelet ristoceti...

Intelligent recognition of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is an important means to detect seizure. Traditional methods for recognizing epileptic EEG signals are usually based on two assumptions: 1) adequate training examples are available for mod...
Asthma, the most common chronic respiratory tract disease in children, is characterized by allergy, recurring airway obstruction and bronchospasm. The aim of the present study was to screen critical differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in a...
Evoking strength is one of the important contributions of the field of Biomedical Informatics to the discipline of Artificial Intelligence. The University at Buffalo's Orthopedics Department wanted to create an expert system to assist patients with s...
BACKGROUND: Subcutaneous port needle insertions are painful and distressing for children with cancer. The interactive MEDiPORT robot has been programmed to implement psychological strategies to decrease pain and distress during this procedure. This s...

The role of sensing technologies, such as wearables, in delivering precision care is becoming widely acceptable. Given the very large quantities of sensor data that rapidly accumulate, there is a need to employ automated algorithms to label biosignal...
Sequences of events have often been modeled with computational techniques, but typical preprocessing steps and problem settings do not explicitly address the ramifications of timestamped events. Clinical data, such as is found in electronic health re...
BACKGROUND: Past studies have shown that robot-based intervention was effective in improving gestural use in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The present study examined whether children with ASD could catch up to the level of gestural p...
OBJECTIVE: Constant changes in developing children's brains can pose a challenge in EEG dependant technologies. Advancing signal processing methods to identify developmental differences in paediatric populations could help improve function and usabil...
