Computer vision-based diameter maps to study fluoroscopic recordings of small intestinal motility from conscious experimental animals.

Neurogastroenterology and motility
BACKGROUND: When available, fluoroscopic recordings are a relatively cheap, non-invasive and technically straightforward way to study gastrointestinal motility. Spatiotemporal maps have been used to characterize motility of intestinal preparations in...

Demonstration of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy and total laryngectomy in cadaveric specimens using the Medrobotics Flex System.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Current management of laryngeal malignancies is associated with significant morbidity. Application of minimally invasive transoral techniques may reduce the morbidity associated with traditional procedures. The purpose of this study was t...

Incidence and risk factors of inguinal hernia after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

World journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has now become a gold standard approach in radical prostatectomy. The aim of this study was to investigate incidence and risk factors of inguinal hernia (IH) after RARP.

Collaborative Active Visual Recognition from Crowds: A Distributed Ensemble Approach.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Active learning is an effective way of engaging users to interactively train models for visual recognition more efficiently. The vast majority of previous works focused on active learning with a single human oracle. The problem of active learning wit...

Revealing common disease mechanisms shared by tumors of different tissues of origin through semantic representation of genomic alterations and topic modeling.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Cancer is a complex disease driven by somatic genomic alterations (SGAs) that perturb signaling pathways and consequently cellular function. Identifying patterns of pathway perturbations would provide insights into common disease mechanis...

Regularized Speaker Adaptation of KL-HMM for Dysarthric Speech Recognition.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing the speech uttered by patients with dysarthria, which is a motor speech disorder impeding the physical production of speech. Patients with dysarthria have articulatory limitation, and therefore, they of...

Expert system classifier for adaptive radiation therapy in prostate cancer.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
A classifier-based expert system was developed to compare delivered and planned radiation therapy in prostate cancer patients. Its aim is to automatically identify patients that can benefit from an adaptive treatment strategy. The study predominantly...

Improving zero-training brain-computer interfaces by mixing model estimators.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) based on event-related potentials (ERP) incorporate a decoder to classify recorded brain signals and subsequently select a control signal that drives a computer application. Standard supervised BCI decoders ...

Artificial Neural Network System to Predict the Postoperative Outcome of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.

Journal of endourology
PURPOSE: To construct, train, and apply an artificial neural network (ANN) system for prediction of different outcome variables of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). We calculated predictive accuracy, sensitivity, and precision for each outcome var...

Dynamic neural architecture for social knowledge retrieval.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Social behavior is often shaped by the rich storehouse of biographical information that we hold for other people. In our daily life, we rapidly and flexibly retrieve a host of biographical details about individuals in our social network, which often ...
