How Does the Skeletal Oncology Research Group Algorithm's Prediction of 5-year Survival in Patients with Chondrosarcoma Perform on International Validation?

Clinical orthopaedics and related research
BACKGROUND: The Skeletal Oncology Research Group (SORG) machine learning algorithm for predicting survival in patients with chondrosarcoma was developed using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry. This algorithm w...

Medical Equipment Replacement Prioritisation: A Comparison Between Linear and Fuzzy System Models.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In hospital management, health technology assessment techniques are being increasingly developed. This paper presents a comparison of the results obtained using two models for replacement priority value calculation applied to the Galliera hospital in...

Artificial Neural Networks Help to Better Understand the Interplay Between Cognition, Mediterranean Diet, and Physical Performance: Clues from TRELONG Study.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
BACKGROUND: Nutrition plays an important role in the aging process. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) has been shown to be associated with lower rates of diseases. Cognitive status seems to be strongly interrelated with physical well-bein...

Automatic Processing of Anatomic Pathology Reports in the Italian Language to Enhance the Reuse of Clinical Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Medical reports often contain a lot of relevant information in the form of free text. To reuse these unstructured texts for biomedical research, it is important to extract structured data from them. In this work, we adapted a previously developed inf...

Neural networks as a tool to predict syncope risk in the Emergency Department.

Europace : European pacing, arrhythmias, and cardiac electrophysiology : journal of the working groups on cardiac pacing, arrhythmias, and cardiac cellular electrophysiology of the European Society of Cardiology
AIMS: There is no universally accepted tool for the risk stratification of syncope patients in the Emergency Department. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term predictive accuracy of an artificial neural network (ANN) in stratifying ...

Efficacy of Robotic-Assisted Gait Training in chronic stroke patients: Preliminary results of an Italian bi-centre study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The gait recovery is a realist goal in the rehabilitation of almost Stroke patients. Over the last years, the introduction of robotic technologies in gait rehabilitation of stroke patients has had a greatest interest.

Development and Evaluation of a Case-Based Retrieval Service.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Identifying similar patients might greatly facilitate the treatment of a given patient, enabling to observe the response and outcome to a particular treatment. Case-based retrieval services dealing with natural language processing are of major import...

[Robotic surgery in urology: the Italian contribution].

Urologia
The introduction of robotic technology has given a major boost to the urologic surgery by expanding the indications of minimally-invasive surgery. The Italian urological community has played a major role in this revolution, by contributing to the dev...
