Do post-stroke patients benefit from robotic verticalization? A pilot-study focusing on a novel neurophysiological approach.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Tilt-table equipped with the dynamic foot-support (ERIGO) and the functional electric stimulation could be a safe and suitable device for stabilization of vital signs, increasing patient's motivation for further recovery, decreasing the d...

Tuning to optimize SVM approach for assisting ovarian cancer diagnosis with photoacoustic imaging.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Support vector machine (SVM) is one of the most effective classification methods for cancer detection. The efficiency and quality of a SVM classifier depends strongly on several important features and a set of proper parameters. Here, a series of cla...

Improved walking ability with wearable robot-assisted training in patients suffering chronic stroke.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Wearable robotic devices provide safe and intensive rehabilitation, enabling repeated motions for motor function recovery in stroke patients. The aim of this small case series was to demonstrate the training effects of a three-week robotic leg orthos...

Classification of focal liver lesions on ultrasound images by extracting hybrid textural features and using an artificial neural network.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
This paper focuses on the improvement of the diagnostic accuracy of focal liver lesions by quantifying the key features of cysts, hemangiomas, and malignant lesions on ultrasound images. The focal liver lesions were divided into 29 cysts, 37 hemangio...

Image manifold revealing for breast lesion segmentation in DCE-MRI.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely used for breast lesion differentiation. Manual segmentation in DCE-MRI is difficult and open to viewer interpretation. In this paper, an automatic segmentation method based on i...

Identification of Conversion from Normal Elderly Cognition to Alzheimer's Disease using Multimodal Support Vector Machine.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most serious progressive neurodegenerative diseases among the elderly, therefore the identification of conversion to AD at the earlier stage has become a crucial issue. In this study, we applied multimodal suppo...

Applying Automated MR-Based Diagnostic Methods to the Memory Clinic: A Prospective Study.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
Several studies have demonstrated that fully automated pattern recognition methods applied to structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) aid in the diagnosis of dementia, but these conclusions are based on highly preselected samples that significant...

Neuropsychological test selection for cognitive impairment classification: A machine learning approach.

Journal of clinical and experimental neuropsychology
INTRODUCTION: Reducing the amount of testing required to accurately detect cognitive impairment is clinically relevant. The aim of this research was to determine the fewest number of clinical measures required to accurately classify participants as h...

Use of Robotic Pets in Providing Stimulation for Nursing Home Residents with Dementia.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Trial experiments utilized robotic pets to facilitate self-reliance in nursing home residents. A remote-control robot modeled clear and meaningful behaviors to elderly residents. Special attention was paid to its effects on mental and social domains....
