BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Apnea is one of the most common conditions that causes sleep-disorder breathing. With growing number of patients worldwide, more and more patients suffer from complications of apnea. But most of them stay untreated due to th...
BACKGROUND: Suicide is a great public health challenge. Two hundred million people attempt suicide in China annually. Existing suicide prevention programs require the help-seeking initiative of suicidal individuals, but many of them have a low motiva...
Oscillometric blood pressure (BP) monitors currently estimate a single point but do not identify variations in response to physiological characteristics. In this paper, to analyze BP's normality based on oscillometric measurements, we use statistical...
BACKGROUND: There is ongoing debate about whether or not robot-assisted thyroidectomy is appropriate for modified radical neck dissection (MRND). The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of robot-assisted MRND with those of a co...
Stroke is the main cause of disability after age 65, leaving survivors with sequels that require care and recovery treatment lasting years. It is estimated that by the year 2030 this pathology will be leading cause of mortality. To determine the effi...

A key issue in brain-computer interface (BCI) is the detection of intentional control (IC) states and non-intentional control (NC) states in an asynchronous manner. Furthermore, for steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) BCI systems, multiple s...
The ability to precisely locate and navigate a partially impaired or a blind person within a building is increasingly important for a wide variety of public safety and localization services. In this paper, we explore indoor localization algorithms us...
In this study, we identified child- and family-level characteristics most strongly associated with clinical identification of language disorder for preschool-aged children. We used machine learning to identify variables that best classified children ...
