Low-Cost Robotic Assessment of Visuo-Motor Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
A low-cost robotic interface was used to assess the visuo-motor performance of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Twenty AD patients and twenty age-matched controls participated in this work. The battery of tests included simple reaction times, ...

Laparoscopic versus robotic surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma: the first 46 consecutive cases.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma has a growing incidence worldwide, and represents a leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis. Nowadays, minimally invasive approaches are spreading in every field of surgery and in liver surgery as well.

The use of new technologies for nutritional education in primary schools: a pilot study.

Public health
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was evaluating if the presence of a humanoid robot could improve the efficacy of a game-based, nutritional education intervention.

Indications, technique, and results of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy.

Updates in surgery
Robotic assistance improves surgical dexterity in minimally invasive operations, especially when fine dissection and multiple sutures are required. As such, robotic assistance could be rewarding in the setting of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD). ...

Use of "off-the-shelf" information extraction algorithms in clinical informatics: A feasibility study of MetaMap annotation of Italian medical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Information extraction from narrative clinical notes is useful for patient care, as well as for secondary use of medical data, for research or clinical purposes. Many studies focused on information extraction from English clinical texts, but less dea...

Feasibility and efficacy of a robotic device for hand rehabilitation in hemiplegic stroke patients: a randomized pilot controlled study.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of robot-assisted hand rehabilitation in improving arm function abilities in sub-acute hemiplegic patients.

An Ensemble Approach for Cognitive Fault Detection and Isolation in Sensor Networks.

International journal of neural systems
Cognitive fault detection and diagnosis systems are systems able to provide timely information about possibly occurring faults without requiring any a priori knowledge about the process generating the data or the possible faults. This ability is cruc...

Artificial neural network for multifunctional areas.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
The issues related to the appropriate planning of the territory are particularly pronounced in highly inhabited areas (urban areas), where in addition to protecting the environment, it is important to consider an anthropogenic (urban) development pla...

Renal impairment and outcome in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

The American journal of emergency medicine
OBJECTIVES: The objectives were to ascertain the prevalence of renal impairment among patients with a takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) episode and whether clinical outcomes are related to renal function.
