Impairment of Thyroid Function in Critically Ill Patients in the Intensive Care Units.

The American journal of the medical sciences
Unexplained hypotension in the intensive care unit is commonly attributed to volume depletion, cardiorespiratory failure, sepsis, or relative adrenal insufficiency. In these acute conditions, thyroid hormone levels measured in blood, serum or plasma ...

Machine learning to identify multigland disease in primary hyperparathyroidism.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: 20%-25% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism will have multigland disease (MGD). Preoperatative imaging can be inaccurate or unnecessary in MGD. Identification of MGD could direct the need for imaging and inform operative approach...

Ablation Index and Surround Flow Catheter Irrigation: Impedance-Based Appraisal in Clinical Ablation.

JACC. Clinical electrophysiology
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the impact of ablation power and catheter irrigation during clinical radiofrequency ablation using impedance drop.

A Pilot Randomized Trial of a Companion Robot for People With Dementia Living in the Community.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the affective, social, behavioral, and physiological effects of the companion robot Paro for people with dementia in both a day care center and a home setting.

The Identification and Tracking of Uterine Contractions Using Template Based Cross-Correlation.

Annals of biomedical engineering
The purpose of this paper is to outline a novel method of using template based cross-correlation to identify and track uterine contractions during labour. A purpose built six-channel Electromyography (EMG) device was used to collect data from consent...

The Arm Movement Detection (AMD) test: a fast robotic test of proprioceptive acuity in the arm.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: We examined the validity and reliability of a short robotic test of upper limb proprioception, the Arm Movement Detection (AMD) test, which yields a ratio-scaled, objective outcome measure to be used for evaluating the impact of sensory d...

A study of the suitability of autoencoders for preprocessing data in breast cancer experimentation.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in women. Today, post-transcriptional protein products of the genes involved in breast cancer can be identified by immunohistochemistry. However, this method has problems arising from the intra-o...

Automatic prediction of coronary artery disease from clinical narratives.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is not only the most common form of heart disease, but also the leading cause of death in both men and women (Coronary Artery Disease: MedlinePlus, 2015). We present a system that is able to automatically predict whether...

Detecting Abnormal Word Utterances in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: Machine-Learning-Based Voice Analysis Versus Speech Therapists.

Perceptual and motor skills
Abnormal prosody is often evident in the voice intonations of individuals with autism spectrum disorders. We compared a machine-learning-based voice analysis with human hearing judgments made by 10 speech therapists for classifying children with auti...
