The future of the provision process for mobility assistive technology: a survey of providers.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the opinions of providers of mobility assistive technologies to help inform a research agenda and set priorities.

Automated ICD-9 Coding via A Deep Learning Approach.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
ICD-9 (the Ninth Revision of International Classification of Diseases) is widely used to describe a patient's diagnosis. Accurate automated ICD-9 coding is important because manual coding is expensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. Inspired by the...

Dictionary-Free MRI PERK: Parameter Estimation via Regression with Kernels.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
This paper introduces a fast, general method for dictionary-free parameter estimation in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (QMRI) parameter estimation via regression with kernels (PERK). PERK first uses prior distributions and the nonlinear MR ...

Treatment-related features improve machine learning prediction of prognosis in soft tissue sarcoma patients.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Current prognostic models for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients are solely based on staging information. Treatment-related data have not been included to date. Including such information, however, could help to improve these ...

Decision support system for triage management: A hybrid approach using rule-based reasoning and fuzzy logic.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVES: Fast and accurate patient triage for the response process is a critical first step in emergency situations. This process is often performed using a paper-based mode, which intensifies workload and difficulty, wastes time, and is at risk o...

Utilizing Machine Learning and Automated Performance Metrics to Evaluate Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy Performance and Predict Outcomes.

Journal of endourology
PURPOSE: Surgical performance is critical for clinical outcomes. We present a novel machine learning (ML) method of processing automated performance metrics (APMs) to evaluate surgical performance and predict clinical outcomes after robot-assisted ra...

Prediction of influenza-like illness based on the improved artificial tree algorithm and artificial neural network.

Scientific reports
Because influenza is a contagious respiratory illness that seriously threatens public health, accurate real-time prediction of influenza outbreaks may help save lives. In this paper, we use the Twitter data set and the United States Centers for Disea...

Intelligent judgements over health risks in a spatial agent-based model.

International journal of health geographics
BACKGROUND: Millions of people worldwide are exposed to deadly infectious diseases on a regular basis. Breaking news of the Zika outbreak for instance, made it to the main media titles internationally. Perceiving disease risks motivate people to adap...

Heparan Sulfate Induces Necroptosis in Murine Cardiomyocytes: A Medical- Approach Combining Experiments and Machine Learning.

Frontiers in immunology
Life-threatening cardiomyopathy is a severe, but common, complication associated with severe trauma or sepsis. Several signaling pathways involved in apoptosis and necroptosis are linked to trauma- or sepsis-associated cardiomyopathy. However, the un...

Ongoing brain rhythms shape I-wave properties in a computational model.

Brain stimulation
BACKGROUND: Responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are notoriously variable. Previous studies have observed a dependence of TMS-induced responses on ongoing brain activity, for instance sensorimotor rhythms. This suggests an opportunity...
