Effects of 0.15% ropivacaine alone and combination with sufentanil on epidural labor analgesia and adverse reactions.

African health sciences
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the impacts of 0.15% ropivacaine alone and 0.15% ropivacaine combined with sufentanil on epidural labor analgesia.

Evaluation of impact of epidural volume extension on the quality of spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing proximal femoral nailing surgeries - randomized controlled study.

Anaesthesiology intensive therapy
INTRODUCTION: Epidural volume extension is technique aiming to mitigate spinal anaesthesia induced hypotension, by reducing the dose of local anaesthetics. The present study was executed to determine the effect of epidural volume extension subarachno...

Development and qualification of a machine learning algorithm for automated hair counting.

International journal of cosmetic science
OBJECTIVE: Determining the amount of hair on the scalp has always been an important metric of patient satisfaction for hair growth and hair retention technologies. While simple in concept, this measurement is a difficult, resource intensive task for ...

The anti-ageing effects of a natural peptide discovered by artificial intelligence.

International journal of cosmetic science
OBJECTIVE: As skin ages, impaired extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis and increased action of degradative enzymes manifest as atrophy, wrinkling and laxity. There is mounting evidence for the functional role of exogenous peptides across many...

Consistency and objectivity of automated embryo assessments using deep neural networks.

Fertility and sterility
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the consistency and objectivity of deep neural networks in embryo scoring and making disposition decisions for biopsy and cryopreservation in comparison to grading by highly trained embryologists.

Perceptual Effects of Adjusting Hearing-Aid Gain by Means of a Machine-Learning Approach Based on Individual User Preference.

Trends in hearing
This study investigated a method to adjust hearing-aid gain by use of a machine-learning algorithm that estimates the optimal setting of gain parameters based on user preference indicated in an iterative paired-comparison procedure. Twenty hearing-im...

Dexamethasone Versus Ketamine in the Interscalene Block in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A Randomized Double-Blinded Study.

Asian journal of anesthesiology
OBJECTIVE: Arthroscopic shoulder surgery (ASS) is often followed by severe pain. Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) was used to relieve such pain. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of adding either dexamethasone or ketamine to ISB ...

Prediction of Individual Disease Conversion in Early AMD Using Artificial Intelligence.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: While millions of individuals show early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) signs, yet have excellent vision, the risk of progression to advanced AMD with legal blindness is highly variable. We suggest means of artificial intelligence to...

Effectiveness of a single session of dual-transcranial direct current stimulation in combination with upper limb robotic-assisted rehabilitation in chronic stroke patients: a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
The impact of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is controversial in the neurorehabilitation literature. It has been suggested that tDCS should be combined with other therapy to improve their efficacy. To assess the effectiveness of a sin...
