Feasibility of spirography features for objective assessment of motor function in Parkinson's disease.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Parkinson's disease (PD) is currently incurable, however proper treatment can ease the symptoms and significantly improve the quality of life of patients. Since PD is a chronic disease, its efficient monitoring and management is very impor...

Feasibility of robotic stereotactic body radiotherapy of lung tumors with kilovoltage x-ray beams.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Robotic Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung tumors is treatment modality that, for cases of inoperable lung tumors, has shown excellent treatment outcomes. The typical photon energy when delivering this type of treatments is ...

A First Step towards a Clinical Decision Support System for Post-traumatic Stress Disorders.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
PTSD is distressful and debilitating, following a non-remitting course in about 10% to 20% of trauma survivors. Numerous risk indicators of PTSD have been identified, but individual level prediction remains elusive. As an effort to bridge the gap bet...

Robotic cochlear implantation: surgical procedure and first clinical experience.

Acta oto-laryngologica
CONCLUSION: A system for robotic cochlear implantation (rCI) has been developed and a corresponding surgical workflow has been described. The clinical feasibility was demonstrated through the conduction of a safe and effective rCI procedure.

Initial Experience Using a Telerobotic Ultrasound System for Adult Abdominal Sonography.

Canadian Association of Radiologists journal = Journal l'Association canadienne des radiologistes
PURPOSE: The study sought to assess the feasibility of performing adult abdominal examinations using a telerobotic ultrasound system in which radiologists or sonographers can control fine movements of a transducer and all ultrasound settings from a r...

Feasibility and safety of early lower limb robot-assisted training in sub-acute stroke patients: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: So far, the development of robotic devices for the early lower limb mobilization in the sub-acute phase after stroke has received limited attention.

Commissioning Monte Carlo algorithm for robotic radiosurgery using cylindrical 3D-array with variable density inserts.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
INTRODUCTION: To commission the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm based model of CyberKnife robotic stereotactic system (CK) and evaluate the feasibility of patient specific QA using the ArcCHECK cylindrical 3D-array (AC) with Multiplug inserts (MP).

Natural language processing to ascertain two key variables from operative reports in ophthalmology.

Pharmacoepidemiology and drug safety
PURPOSE: Antibiotic prophylaxis is critical to ophthalmology and other surgical specialties. We performed natural language processing (NLP) of 743 838 operative notes recorded for 315 246 surgeries to ascertain two variables needed to study the compa...

Feasibility of Anesthesia Maintenance With Sevoflurane During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Pilot Pharmacokinetics Study.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: Adequate maintenance of hypnosis during anesthesia throughout surgery using sevoflurane alone was investigated. In addition, sevoflurane pharmacokinetics during cardiopulmonary bypass were analyzed.

A Natural Language Processing-based Model to Automate MRI Brain Protocol Selection and Prioritization.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Incorrect imaging protocol selection can contribute to increased healthcare cost and waste. To help healthcare providers improve the quality and safety of medical imaging services, we developed and evaluated three natural la...
