BACKGROUND: Multiple patient factors may convey increased risk of 30-day morbidity and mortality after laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy (LVSG). Assessing the likelihood of short-term morbidity is useful for both the bariatric surgeon and pati...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a deep learning system for differentiating between eyes with and without glaucomatous visual field damage (GVFD) and predicting the severity of GFVD from spectral domain OCT (SDÂ OCT) optic nerve head images.
AIM: To assess the potential of supervised machine-learning techniques to identify clinical variables for predicting short-term and long-term glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) response after insulin treatment initiation in patients with type 2 diabetes me...

OBJECTIVE: to report our initial experience with pulmonary robotic segmentectomy, describing the surgical technique, the preferred positioning of portals, initial results and outcomes.
BACKGROUND: Current modes of identifying alcohol misuse in hospitalized patients rely on self-report questionnaires and diagnostic codes that have limitations, including low sensitivity. Information in the clinical notes of the electronic health reco...

Motor fluctuations are a frequent complication in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) where the response to medication fluctuates between ON states (medication working) and OFF states (medication has worn off). This paper describes a new data anal...
PURPOSE: Prompt diagnosis and quantitation of pneumothorax impact decisions pertaining to patient management. The purpose of our study was to develop and evaluate the accuracy of a deep learning (DL)-based image classification program for detection o...

PURPOSE: The World Health Organization (WHO) grading system of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) plays an important role in the clinical decision. The rarity of PNET often negatively affects the radiological application of deep learning algorith...
OBJECTIVE: Companion robots, such as Paro, may reduce agitation and depression for older people with dementia. However, contradictory research outcomes suggest robot design is not always optimal. While many researchers suggest user-centred design is ...
Prognostic tumor growth modeling via volumetric medical imaging observations can potentially lead to better outcomes of tumor treatment management and surgical planning. Recent advances of convolutional networks (ConvNets) have demonstrated higher ac...
