Digitalized hand-drawn pattern is a noninvasive and reproducible assistive manner to obtain hand actions and motions for evaluating functional tremors and upper-limb movement disorders. In this study, spirals and straight lines in polar coordinates a...
The present study developed a feature selection (FS)-based decision support system using the electroencephalography (EEG) signals recorded from neonates with and without seizures. The study employed 10 different FS algorithms to reduce the classifica...
BACKGROUND: Early detection of early gastric cancer (EGC) allows for less invasive cancer treatment. However, differentiating EGC from gastritis remains challenging. Although magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI) is useful for differ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with migraine show an increased presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), especially deep WMHs. Segmentation of small, deep WMHs is a critical issue in managing migraine care. Here, we aim to develop a novel...
PURPOSE: An important challenge for deep learning models is generalizing to new datasets that may be acquired with acquisition protocols different from the training set. It is not always feasible to expand training data to the range encountered in cl...
Natural language processing (NLP) has become essential for secondary use of clinical data. Over the last two decades, many clinical NLP systems were developed in both academia and industry. However, nearly all existing systems are restricted to speci...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fungal keratitis is caused by inflammation of the cornea that results from infection by fungal organisms. The lack of an early effective diagnosis often results in serious complications even blindness. Confocal microscopy i...
PURPOSE: Adverse event (AE) identification in social media (SM) can be performed using various types of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML). These methods can be categorized by complexity and precision level. Co-occurrence-bas...
