Speaking from the heart: a story about innovation, resilience, and infinite possibilities with AAC.

Augmentative and alternative communication (Baltimore, Md. : 1985)
Communication is the cornerstone of human connection, impacting everything from our personal relationships to our professional success. This concept became heartbreakingly real for me when I was diagnosed with motor neuron disease at the age of 25. T...

A machine-learning-based approach to predict early hallmarks of progressive hearing loss.

Hearing research
Machine learning (ML) techniques are increasingly being used to improve disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the application of these computational approaches to the early diagnosis of age-related hearing loss (ARHL), the most common sensory def...

O-GEST: Overground gait events detector using b-spline-based geometric models for marker-based and markerless analysis.

Journal of biomechanics
Accurate gait events detection is imperative for reliable assessment of normal and pathological gaits. However, this detection becomes challenging in the absence of force plates. Hence, this research introduces two geometric models integrated into an...

A multi-site randomized clinical trial of socially assistive robots on engaging older adults with cognitive impairment residing in long-term care settings: A protocol paper.

Contemporary clinical trials
Apathy is common in persons with dementias, especially those in long-term care facilities (LTCs). Few pharmacologic options exist; a major strategy is to foster engagement in social, physical, and cognitive activities, but requires extensive personne...

Cone-beam computed tomography-based online adaptive radiotherapy of esophageal cancer in the neoadjuvant setting: Dosimetric analysis, toxicity and treatment response.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery is a treatment option for esophageal cancer (EC). However, concerns persist regarding cardiopulmonary toxicity and inconsistent daily target coverage due to anatomical changes. To ad...

Image-Based Diagnostic Performance of LLMs vs CNNs for Oral Lichen Planus: Example-Guided and Differential Diagnosis.

International dental journal
INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: The overlapping characteristics of oral lichen planus (OLP), a chronic oral mucosal inflammatory condition, with those of other oral lesions, present diagnostic challenges. Large language models (LLMs) with integrated computer-...

Advances in disease detection through retinal imaging: A systematic review.

Computers in biology and medicine
Ocular and non-ocular diseases significantly impact millions of people worldwide, leading to vision impairment or blindness if not detected and managed early. Many individuals could be prevented from becoming blind by treating these diseases early on...

Leveraging pulse wave signal properties for coronary artery calcification screening in CKD patients.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are particularly susceptible to coronary atherosclerosis, which can be assessed using computed tomography (CT)-based coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. However, such a costly examination mi...

Feature and classifier-level domain adaptation in DistilHuBERT for cross-corpus speech emotion recognition.

Computers in biology and medicine
Cross-corpus speech emotion recognition (CCSER) aims to develop robust models capable of accurately identifying a speaker's emotional state across diverse datasets. This task is challenged by variations in dataset characteristics, such as differences...

Relationship between amino acid metabolism and inflammation in coronary heart disease (Review).

International journal of molecular medicine
This review delves into the intricate relationship between amino acid metabolism and inflammation in coronary heart disease (CHD). Research shows that disruptions in the metabolism of arginine, glutamate, branched‑chain amino acids (BCAAs) and trypto...
