Defining and characterizing the critical transition state prior to the type 2 diabetes disease.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with increased risk of serious long-term complications, currently represents 8.3% of the adult population. We hypothesized that a critical transition state prior to the new onset T2DM can be revealed throu...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Training for the Unaffected Arm in Patients with Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy: A Proof-of-Concept Pilot Study.

Behavioural neurology
On a voluntary basis, 10 adolescents with hemiparesis due to cerebral palsy and 11 neurologically healthy control subjects participated in this proof-of-concept pilot study. The aim was to examine the effects of robot-assisted training for the unaffe...

Using machine learning and surface reconstruction to accurately differentiate different trajectories of mood and energy dysregulation in youth.

PloS one
Difficulty regulating positive mood and energy is a feature that cuts across different pediatric psychiatric disorders. Yet, little is known regarding the neural mechanisms underlying different developmental trajectories of positive mood and energy r...

A Control Scheme to Minimize Muscle Energy for Power Assistant Robotic Systems Under Unknown External Perturbation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a novel control method to minimize muscle energy for power-assistant robotic systems that support the intended motions of a user under unknown external perturbations, using surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals. Conventional contr...

Multiple cues produced by a robotic fish modulate aggressive behaviour in Siamese fighting fishes.

Scientific reports
The use of robotics to establish social interactions between animals and robots, represents an elegant and innovative method to investigate animal behaviour. However, robots are still underused to investigate high complex and flexible behaviours, suc...

Predicting two-year survival versus non-survival after first myocardial infarction using machine learning and Swedish national register data.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Machine learning algorithms hold potential for improved prediction of all-cause mortality in cardiovascular patients, yet have not previously been developed with high-quality population data. This study compared four popular machine learn...

Using a social robot to teach gestural recognition and production in children with autism spectrum disorders.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
While it has been argued that children with autism spectrum disorders are responsive to robot-like toys, very little research has examined the impact of robot-based intervention on gesture use. These children have delayed gestural development. We use...

Impairment of Thyroid Function in Critically Ill Patients in the Intensive Care Units.

The American journal of the medical sciences
Unexplained hypotension in the intensive care unit is commonly attributed to volume depletion, cardiorespiratory failure, sepsis, or relative adrenal insufficiency. In these acute conditions, thyroid hormone levels measured in blood, serum or plasma ...

Machine learning to identify multigland disease in primary hyperparathyroidism.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: 20%-25% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism will have multigland disease (MGD). Preoperatative imaging can be inaccurate or unnecessary in MGD. Identification of MGD could direct the need for imaging and inform operative approach...
