Robotic-Enhanced Prosthetic Liners for Vibration Therapy: Reducing Phantom Limb Pain in Transfemoral Amputees.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Phantom limb pain, a common challenge for amputees, lacks effective treatment options. Vibration therapy is a promising non-pharmacologic intervention for reducing pain intensity, but its efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain requires further inv...

Exploring the Potential of a Smart Ring to Predict Postoperative Pain Outcomes in Orthopedic Surgery Patients.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Poor pain alleviation remains a problem following orthopedic surgery, leading to prolonged recovery time, increased morbidity, and prolonged opioid use after hospitalization. Wearable device data, collected during postsurgical recovery, may help amel...

Utilizing deep learning model for assessing melanocytic density in resection margins of lentigo maligna.

Diagnostic pathology
BACKGROUND: Surgical excision with clear histopathological margins is the preferred treatment to prevent progression of lentigo maligna (LM) to invasive melanoma. However, the assessment of resection margins on sun-damaged skin is challenging. We dev...

Machine learning characterization of a rare neurologic disease via electronic health records: a proof-of-principle study on stiff person syndrome.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Despite the frequent diagnostic delays of rare neurologic diseases (RND), it remains difficult to study RNDs and their comorbidities due to their rarity and hence the statistical underpowering. Affecting one to two in a million annually, ...

Proteomics and machine learning in the prediction and explanation of low pectoralis muscle area.

Scientific reports
Low muscle mass is associated with numerous adverse outcomes independent of other associated comorbid diseases. We aimed to predict and understand an individual's risk for developing low muscle mass using proteomics and machine learning. We identifie...

Comparison of three artificial intelligence algorithms for automatic cobb angle measurement using teaching data specific to three disease groups.

Scientific reports
Spinal deformities, including adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and adult spinal deformity (ASD), affect many patients. The measurement of the Cobb angle on coronal radiographs is essential for their diagnosis and treatment planning. To enhance t...

Combining robotics and functional electrical stimulation for assist-as-needed support of leg movements in stroke patients: A feasibility study.

Medical engineering & physics
PURPOSE: Rehabilitation technology can be used to provide intensive training in the early phases after stroke. The current study aims to assess the feasibility of combining robotics and functional electrical stimulation (FES), with an assist-as-neede...

Estimating three-dimensional foot bone kinematics from skin markers using a deep learning neural network model.

Journal of biomechanics
The human foot is a complex structure comprising 26 bones, whose coordinated movements facilitate proper deformation of the foot, ensuring stable and efficient locomotion. Despite their critical role, the kinematics of foot bones during movement rema...

Effect of Deep Learning Image Reconstruction Algorithms on Radiomic Features of Pulmonary Nodules in Ultra-Low-Dose CT.

Journal of computer assisted tomography
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm on the quantification of radiomic features in ultra-low-dose computed tomography (ULD-CT) compared with adaptive statistical iterativ...

Integrating Deep Learning-Based Dose Distribution Prediction with Bayesian Networks for Decision Support in Radiotherapy for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer.

Cancer research and treatment
PURPOSE: Selecting the better techniques to harbor optimal motion management, either a stereotactic linear accelerator delivery using TrueBeam (TBX) or magnetic resonance-guided gated delivery using MRIdian (MRG), is time-consuming and costly. To add...
