In this paper, we evaluate a semiautonomous brain-computer interface (BCI) for manipulation tasks. In such a system, the user controls a robotic arm through motor imagery commands. In traditional process-control BCI systems, the user has to provide t...
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to analyze the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and evolutionary features of hemoglobinuria in children hospitalized in the Pediatric University Hospital Charles de Gaulle, Ouagadougou.
Digital care management programs can reduce health care costs and improve quality of care. However, it is unclear how to target patients who are most likely to benefit from these programs ex ante, a shortcoming of current "risk score"-based approache...
Ultrasound guidance is not in widespread use in prostate cancer radiotherapy workflows. This can be partially attributed to the need for image interpretation by a trained operator during ultrasound image acquisition. In this work, a one-class regress...

This study aimed to investigate: 1) the effect of optic flow speed manipulation on active participation during robot-assisted treadmill walking (RATW), 2) the influence of the type of virtual environment, and 3) the level of motion sickness and enjoy...
OBJECTIVE: Prediction of acute renal failure (ARF) and paraplegia after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair (TAAAR) is helpful for decision-making during the postoperative phase. To find a more efficient method for making a prediction, we perform...
OBJECTIVE: Temporal lobe epilepsy is a common form of epilepsy that might be amenable to surgery. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative hippocampal sclerosis (HS) can hamper early diagnosis and surgical intervention for patients in clini...
