Calculation of upper esophageal sphincter restitution time from high resolution manometry data using machine learning.

Physiology & behavior
OBJECTIVE: After swallowing, the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) needs a certain amount of time to return from maximum pressure to the resting condition. Disturbances of sphincter function not only during the swallowing process but also in this phas...

Daily changes of individual gait patterns identified by means of support vector machines.

Gait & posture
Despite the common knowledge about the individual character of human gait patterns and about their non-repeatability, little is known about their stability, their interactions and their changes over time. Variations of gait patterns are typically des...

The effect of geographical indices on left ventricular structure in healthy Han Chinese population.

International journal of biometeorology
The left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) and interventricular septum thickness (IVST) are generally regarded as the functional parts of the left ventricular (LV) structure. This paper aims to examine the effects of geographical indices o...

Classification of Motor Imagery EEG Signals with Support Vector Machines and Particle Swarm Optimization.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Support vector machines are powerful tools used to solve the small sample and nonlinear classification problems, but their ultimate classification performance depends heavily upon the selection of appropriate kernel and penalty parameters. In this st...

Classifying work rate from heart rate measurements using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system.

Applied ergonomics
In a new approach based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), field heart rate (HR) measurements were used to classify work rate into four categories: very light, light, moderate, and heavy. Inter-participant variability (physiological a...

Muscle damage and immune responses to prolonged exercise in environmental extreme conditions.

The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the effect of prolonged exercise with and without a thermal clamp on leukocyte cell, stress hormones, cytokine and muscle damage responses.

A Sensitive and Specific Neural Signature for Picture-Induced Negative Affect.

PLoS biology
Neuroimaging has identified many correlates of emotion but has not yet yielded brain representations predictive of the intensity of emotional experiences in individuals. We used machine learning to identify a sensitive and specific signature of emoti...

Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic assessment of pharmacological effect of a selective estrogen receptor β agonist on total testosterone in healthy men.

Clinical pharmacology in drug development
BACKGROUND: LY500307 is a highly selective estrogen receptor β (ERβ) agonist, which loses its selectivity at high dose and leads to undesirable suppression of total testosterone (TT) concentration. The objective of the present analysis was to define ...

Recognition of activities of daily living in healthy subjects using two ad-hoc classifiers.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Activities of daily living (ADL) are important for quality of life. They are indicators of cognitive health status and their assessment is a measure of independence in everyday living. ADL are difficult to reliably assess using questionna...

Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers promote systemic hyperfibrinolysis that is both dependent and independent of plasmin.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Hyperfibrinolysis plays an integral role in the genesis of trauma-induced coagulopathy. Recent data demonstrate that red blood cell lysis promotes fibrinolysis; however, the mechanism is unclear. Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) h...
