Model-based hearing diagnostics based on wideband tympanometry measurements utilizing fuzzy arithmetic.

Hearing research
Today's audiometric methods for the diagnosis of middle ear disease are often based on a comparison of measurements with standard curves, that represent the statistical range of normal hearing responses. Because of large inter-individual variances in...

Laparoscopic Approach for Shull Repair of Pelvic Floor Defects.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To prove the feasibility of the Shull technique by a laparoscopic approach in a patient affected by pelvic organ prolapse (POP) with apical loss of support.

Predictive Behavior of a Computational Foot/Ankle Model through Artificial Neural Networks.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Computational models are useful tools to study the biomechanics of human joints. Their predictive performance is heavily dependent on bony anatomy and soft tissue properties. Imaging data provides anatomical requirements while approximate tissue prop...

Deep learning-based automatic differentiation of acute angle closure with or without zonulopathy using ultrasound biomicroscopy: a comparison of diagnostic performance with ophthalmologists.

BMJ open ophthalmology
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM)-based artificial intelligence (AI) models for preoperative differentiation of acute angle closure (AAC) with or without zonulopathy and to compare their comprehensive diagnostic per...

Neural Network Optimization of Ligament Stiffnesses for the Enhanced Predictive Ability of a Patient-Specific, Computational Foot/Ankle Model.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Computational models of diarthrodial joints serve to inform the biomechanical function of these structures, and as such, must be supplied appropriate inputs for performance that is representative of actual joint function. Inputs for these models are ...

Challenges in using compliant ligaments for position estimation within robotic joints.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The mechanical advantages of bio-inspired condylar robotic knee joints for use in prosthetics or rehabilitation has been argued extensively in literature. A common limitation of these designs is the difficulty of estimating joint angle and therefore ...
