Changes in maternal placental growth factor levels during term labour.

Placenta
UNLABELLED: Placental growth factor (PlGF) has important angiogenic function that is critical to placental development. Lower levels of PlGF are associated with fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia and intrapartum fetal compromise. The aim of this...

Subclinical Hypothyroidism Is Associated With Adverse Prognosis in Heart Failure Patients.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: It is widely recognized that overt hyper- as well as hypothyroidism are potential causes of heart failure (HF). Additionally it has been recently reported that subclinical hypothyroidism (sub-hypo) is associated with atherosclerosis, deve...

Code-modulated visual evoked potentials using fast stimulus presentation and spatiotemporal beamformer decoding.

Scientific reports
When encoding visual targets using various lagged versions of a pseudorandom binary sequence of luminance changes, the EEG signal recorded over the viewer's occipital pole exhibits so-called code-modulated visual evoked potentials (cVEPs), the phase ...

Biarticular elements as a contributor to energy efficiency: biomechanical review and application in bio-inspired robotics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Despite the increased interest in exoskeleton research in the last decades, not much progress has been made on the successful reduction of user effort. In humans, biarticular elements have been identified as one of the reasons for the energy economy ...

Modeling and analysis of a meso-hydraulic climbing robot with artificial muscle actuation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents a fully coupled electro-hydraulic model of a bio-inspired climbing robot actuated by fluidic artificial muscles (FAMs). This analysis expands upon previous FAM literature by considering not only the force and contraction character...

Disease Gene Prediction by Integrating PPI Networks, Clinical RNA-Seq Data and OMIM Data.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Disease gene prediction is a challenging task that has a variety of applications such as early diagnosis and drug development. The existing machine learning methods suffer from the imbalanced sample issue because the number of known disease genes (po...

Estimating a person's age from walking over a sensor floor.

Computers in biology and medicine
Ageing has an effect on many parameters of the physical condition, and one of them is the way a person walks. This property, the gait pattern, can unintrusively be observed by letting people walk over a sensor floor. The electric capacitance sensors ...

Digital image analysis in breast pathology-from image processing techniques to artificial intelligence.

Translational research : the journal of laboratory and clinical medicine
Breast cancer is the most common malignant disease in women worldwide. In recent decades, earlier diagnosis and better adjuvant therapy have substantially improved patient outcome. Diagnosis by histopathology has proven to be instrumental to guide br...
