Long-term Glomerular Filtration Rate and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Stage Stability After Conversion to Once-Daily Tacrolimus in Kidney Transplant Recipients.

Transplantation proceedings
Close monitoring of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is important for early recognition of worsening renal function to prevent further deterioration. Safe conversion from twice-daily tacrolimus (TD-Tac) to once-daily tacrolimus (OD-Tac) ha...

Reproducibility of importance extraction methods in neural network based fMRI classification.

NeuroImage
Recent advances in machine learning allow faster training, improved performance and increased interpretability of classification techniques. Consequently, their application in neuroscience is rapidly increasing. While classification approaches have p...

An end to end Deep Neural Network for iris segmentation in unconstrained scenarios.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
With the increasing imaging and processing capabilities of today's mobile devices, user authentication using iris biometrics has become feasible. However, as the acquisition conditions become more unconstrained and as image quality is typically lower...

When robots care: Public deliberations on how technology and humans may support independent living for older adults.

Social science & medicine (1982)
While assistive robots receive growing attention as a potential solution to support older adults to live independently, several scholars question the underlying social, ethical and health policy assumptions. One perplexing issue is determining whethe...

Assessment of Carotid Artery Plaque Components With Machine Learning Classification Using Homodyned-K Parametric Maps and Elastograms.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging methods, including elastography, echogenicity analysis, and speckle statistical modeling, are available from a single ultrasound (US) radio-frequency data acquisition. Since these US imaging methods provide compl...

Effectiveness of robo-assisted lower limb rehabilitation for spastic patients: A systematic review.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
BACKGROUND: Though many rehabilitative treatments are available for treatment of spasticity, thus the effectiveness of different robo-rehabilitative devices needs to be evaluated through a systematic review.

Cuff Pressure Algometry in Patients with Chronic Pain as Guidance for Circumferential Tissue Compression for Wearable Soft Exoskeletons: A Systematic Review.

Soft robotics
In this article, we report on a systematic review of the literature on pressure-pain thresholds induced and assessed by computerized cuff pressure algometry (CPA). The motivation for this review is to provide design guidance on pressure levels for we...

Early anomaly detection in smart home: A causal association rule-based approach.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
As the world's population grows older, an increasing number of people are facing health issues. For the elderly, living alone can be difficult and dangerous. Consequently, smart homes are becoming increasingly popular. A sensor-rich environment can b...
