Effects of mechanical assistance on muscle activity and motor performance during isometric elbow flexion.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
Mechanical assistance on joint movement is generally beneficial; however, its effects on cooperative performance and muscle activity needs to be further explored. This study examined how motor performance and muscle activity are altered when mechanic...

Usefulness of presepsin as diagnostic and prognostic marker of sepsis in daily clinical practice.

Journal of infection in developing countries
INTRODUCTION: Sepsis represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment have a crucial influence on survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic r...

Detection and localisation of hip fractures on anteroposterior radiographs with artificial intelligence: proof of concept.

Clinical radiology
AIM: To investigate the feasibility of applying a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for detection/localisation of acute proximal femoral fractures (APFFs) on hip radiographs.

Decision tree algorithm in locally advanced rectal cancer: an example of over-interpretation and misuse of a machine learning approach.

Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology
PURPOSE: To analyse the classification performances of a decision tree method applied to predictor variables in survival outcome in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). The aim was to offer a critical analysis to better apply tree-bas...

Prospective validation of a machine learning model that uses provider notes to identify candidates for resective epilepsy surgery.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: Delay to resective epilepsy surgery results in avoidable disease burden and increased risk of mortality. The objective was to prospectively validate a natural language processing (NLP) application that uses provider notes to assign epileps...

Information Content of Prefrontal Cortex Activity Quantifies the Difficulty of Narrated Stories.

Scientific reports
The ability to realize the individuals' impressions during the verbal communication allows social robots to significantly facilitate their social interactions in such areas as child education and elderly care. However, such impressions are highly sub...

Machine learning with sparse nutrition data to improve cardiovascular mortality risk prediction in the USA using nationally randomly sampled data.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to test whether or not adding (1) nutrition predictor variables and/or (2) using machine learning models improves cardiovascular death prediction versus standard Cox models without nutrition predictor variables.

Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules: Performance of a Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Network Model vs. Radiologists.

Scientific reports
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems hold potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid ultrasound (US). We aimed to develop a deep learning-based US CAD system (dCAD) for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules and compare its performance with ...

Histopathology-guided mass spectrometry differentiates benign nevi from malignant melanoma.

Journal of cutaneous pathology
PURPOSE: Distinguishing benign nevi from malignant melanoma using current histopathological criteria may be very challenging and is one the most difficult areas in dermatopathology. The goal of this study was to identify proteomic differences, which ...

Machine learning-based dynamic mortality prediction after traumatic brain injury.

Scientific reports
Our aim was to create simple and largely scalable machine learning-based algorithms that could predict mortality in a real-time fashion during intensive care after traumatic brain injury. We performed an observational multicenter study including adul...
