BACKGROUND: Deep-learning algorithms to annotate electrocardiograms (ECGs) and classify different types of cardiac arrhythmias with the use of a single-lead ECG input data set have been developed. It remains to be determined whether these algorithms ...
INTRODUCTION: Adverse effects in the sexual sphere are common in patients who have undergone radical prostatectomy (RP). Climacturia, involuntary loss of urine during orgasm, occurs in 20-40% of cases after PR. We analyse its prevalence and associate...
Determining the number of factors is one of the most crucial decisions a researcher has to face when conducting an exploratory factor analysis. As no common factor retention criterion can be seen as generally superior, a new approach is proposed-comb...

In ultrasound (US) imaging, various types of adaptive beamforming techniques have been investigated to improve the resolution and the contrast-to-noise ratio of the delay and sum (DAS) beamformers. Unfortunately, the performance of these adaptive bea...
Individuals with tetraplegia, typically attributed to spinal cord injuries (SCI) at the cervical level, experience significant health care costs and loss of independence due to their limited reaching and grasping capabilities. Neuromuscular electrica...
Studies have shown that the use of artificial intelligence can reduce errors in medical image assessment. The diagnosis of breast cancer is an essential task; however, diagnosis can include 'detection' and 'interpretation' errors. Studies to reduce t...

The advent of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has allowed transoral approaches for parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumours to be re-evaluated. It provides enhanced visualisation and instrument access for appropriate tumours. We describe a specific techni...
Explainable AI aims at building intelligent systems that are able to provide a clear, and human understandable, justification of their decisions. This holds for both rule-based and data-driven methods. In management of chronic diseases, the users of ...
