Diagnostic value of sleep stage dissociation as visualized on a 2-dimensional sleep state space in human narcolepsy.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Type 1 narcolepsy (NT1) is characterized by symptoms believed to represent Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep stage dissociations, occurrences where features of wake and REM sleep are intermingled, resulting in a mixed state. We hypothesized ...

Machine Learning Principles Can Improve Hip Fracture Prediction.

Calcified tissue international
Apply machine learning principles to predict hip fractures and estimate predictor importance in Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-scanned men and women. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry data from two Danish regions between 1996 and 2006 were com...

Application of Machine-Learning Models to Predict Tacrolimus Stable Dose in Renal Transplant Recipients.

Scientific reports
Tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic window and considerable variability in clinical use. Our goal was to compare the performance of multiple linear regression (MLR) and eight machine learning techniques in pharmacogenetic algorithm-based prediction o...

Maternal urinary paraben levels and offspring size at birth from a Chinese birth cohort.

Chemosphere
BACKGROUND: Parabens are suspected to impair fetal growth because of their endocrine disrupting effects. Epidemiological studies regarding the effects of prenatal exposure to parabens on birth outcomes are limited.

Classification of Exacerbation Frequency in the COPDGene Cohort Using Deep Learning With Deep Belief Networks.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
This study aims to develop an automatic classifier based on deep learning for exacerbation frequency in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A three-layer deep belief network (DBN) with two hidden layers and one visible layer w...

Cytokine Changes following Acute Ethanol Intoxication in Healthy Men: A Crossover Study.

Mediators of inflammation
Alcohol is a known modulator of the innate immune system. Owing to the absence of human studies, alcohol's effect on circulating cytokine profile remains unclear. We investigated the effect of acute high dose alcohol consumption on systemic cytokine ...

Using robot fully assisted functional movements in upper-limb rehabilitation of chronic stroke patients: preliminary results.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is promising to promote function in stroke patients. The assist as needed training paradigm has shown to stimulate neuroplasticity but often cannot be used because stroke patients are too impaired to actively contro...

Predicting early psychiatric readmission with natural language processing of narrative discharge summaries.

Translational psychiatry
The ability to predict psychiatric readmission would facilitate the development of interventions to reduce this risk, a major driver of psychiatric health-care costs. The symptoms or characteristics of illness course necessary to develop reliable pre...
