BACKGROUND: Strabismus is a common eye condition affecting both children and adults. Effective patient education is crucial for informed decision-making, but traditional methods often lack accessibility and engagement. Chatbots powered by AI have eme...
BACKGROUND: The use of machine learning to estimate exposure effects introduces a dependence between the results of an empirical study and the value of the seed used to fix the pseudo-random number generator.
Machine learning techniques for causal effect estimation can enhance the reliability of epidemiologic analyses, reducing their dependence on correct model specifications. However, the stochastic nature of many machine learning algorithms implies that...
Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a severe and irreversible blinding eye disease characterized by progressive retinal ganglion cell death. However, prior research has predominantly focused on static brain activity changes, neglecting the explo...
Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an emerging technique for medication-refractory essential tremor (ET), but with variable outcomes. This study used pattern regression analysis to identify brain signatures p...
Individuals with diminished walking performance caused by neuromuscular impairments often lack plantar flexion muscle activity. Robotic devices have been developed to address these issues and increase walking performance. While these devices have sho...
The lack of annotated medical images limits the performance of deep learning models, which usually need large-scale labelled datasets. Few-shot learning techniques can reduce data scarcity issues and enhance medical image analysis speed and robustnes...
Electrophysiological research has been widely utilized to study brain responses to acoustic stimuli. The frequency-following response (FFR), a non-invasive reflection of how the brain encodes acoustic stimuli, is a particularly propitious electrophys...
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is widely used in clinical microbiology laboratories for bacterial identification but its use for detection of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains limited....
Given recent technological advances in proteomics, it is now possible to quantify plasma proteomes in large cohorts of patients to screen for biomarkers and to guide the early diagnosis and treatment of depression. Here we used CatBoost machine learn...
