Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
BACKGROUND: Electromechanical- and robot-assisted gait-training devices are used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2007 and previously updated in 2017.

Combination Strategies for Immune-Checkpoint Blockade and Response Prediction by Artificial Intelligence.

International journal of molecular sciences
The therapeutic concept of unleashing a pre-existing immune response against the tumor by the application of immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has resulted in long-term survival in advanced cancer patient subgroups. However, the majority of patients...

Machine Learning techniques in breast cancer prognosis prediction: A primary evaluation.

Cancer medicine
More than 750 000 women in Italy are surviving a diagnosis of breast cancer. A large body of literature tells us which characteristics impact the most on their prognosis. However, the prediction of each disease course and then the establishment of a ...

A review of methods for achieving upper limb movement following spinal cord injury through hybrid muscle stimulation and robotic assistance.

Experimental neurology
Individuals with tetraplegia, typically attributed to spinal cord injuries (SCI) at the cervical level, experience significant health care costs and loss of independence due to their limited reaching and grasping capabilities. Neuromuscular electrica...

Comparison of supervised machine learning classification techniques in prediction of locoregional recurrences in early oral tongue cancer.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The proper estimate of the risk of recurrences in early-stage oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is mandatory for individual treatment-decision making. However, this remains a challenge even for experienced multidisciplinary cent...

Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Combined With Wrist Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation on Motor Recovery in Subacute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Both transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and wrist robot-assisted training have demonstrated to be promising approaches for stroke rehabilitation. However, the effects of the combination of the two treatments in subacute stroke patients ar...

Combination of Exoskeletal Upper Limb Robot and Occupational Therapy Improve Activities of Daily Living Function in Acute Stroke Patients.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
PURPOSE: Previous studies have suggested that upper limb rehabilitation using therapeutic robots improves motor function of stroke patients. However, the effect of upper limb robotic rehabilitation on improving functioning in activities of daily livi...

Initial results of pulmonary resection after neoadjuvant nivolumab in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a phase I trial of neoadjuvant nivolumab, a monoclonal antibody to the programmed cell death protein 1 checkpoint receptor, in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. We analyzed perioperative outcomes to assess t...

Effect of combined vitamin D administration plus dietary intervention on oxidative stress markers in patients with metabolic syndrome: A pilot randomized study.

Clinical nutrition ESPEN
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients can have low 25-hydroxyvitamin D 25(OH)VitD levels, which may be associated with increased oxidative stress. There is little data on the effect of 25(OH)VitD administration plus dietary intervention on o...
