BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Excess fluid balance in acute kidney injury (AKI) may be harmful, and conversely, some patients may respond to fluid challenges. This study aimed to develop a prediction model that can be used to differentiate between volum...
Stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) is used as a novel knowledge-based technique in order to develop a predictive model of dosimetric features from significant geometric parameters describing a patient morphology. 406 patients treated with VMAT for pr...
We have been developing a human mimetic musculoskeletal humanoid called Kenshiro, whose design concept is to thoroughly pursue an unprecedented anatomical fidelity to the human musculoskeletal structure. We believe that research on human mimetic musc...
BACKGROUND: While laparoscopy is currently adopted for hepatic resections, robotic approaches to the liver have not gained wide acceptance. We decided to analyze the learning curve in the field of robotic liver surgery comparing short-term outcomes b...

BACKGROUND: Automated surveillance for cardiac arrests would be useful in overcrowded emergency departments. The purpose of this study is to develop and test artificial neural network (ANN) classifiers for early detection of patients at risk of cardi...
BACKGROUND: Disease named entity recognition (NER) plays an important role in biomedical research. There are a significant number of challenging issues to be addressed; among these, the identification of rare diseases and complex disease names and th...
One of the main objectives of Active and Assisted Living (AAL) environments is to ensure that elderly and/or disabled people perform/live well in their immediate environments; this can be monitored by among others the recognition of emotions based on...

Studies reveal that the false alarm rate (FAR) demonstrated by intensive care unit (ICU) vital signs monitors ranges from 0.72 to 0.99. We applied machine learning (ML) to ICU multi-sensor information to imitate a medical specialist in diagnosing pat...
This article examines the history of the telemedicine intensive care unit (tele-ICU), the current state of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) in the tele-ICU, applications of machine learning (ML) algorithms to critical care, and opportunities ...
