Wireless intraoral tongue control of an assistive robotic arm for individuals with tetraplegia.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: For an individual with tetraplegia assistive robotic arms provide a potentially invaluable opportunity for rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of available control methods to allow these individuals to fully control the assistive arm...

Identifying causal mechanisms in health care interventions using classification tree analysis.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES: Mediation analysis identifies causal pathways by testing the relationships between the treatment, the outcome, and an intermediate variable that mediates the relationship between the treatment and outcome. This paper ...

Influence of facial feedback during a cooperative human-robot task in schizophrenia.

Scientific reports
Rapid progress in the area of humanoid robots offers tremendous possibilities for investigating and improving social competences in people with social deficits, but remains yet unexplored in schizophrenia. In this study, we examined the influence of ...

Antioxidants from diet or supplements do not alter inflammatory markers in adults with cardiovascular disease risk. A pilot randomized controlled trial.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.)
Antioxidants have been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects, but there is a lack of research comparing food to supplement antioxidant sources. The aim of this study was to determine if increases in intake of foods naturally rich in antioxidants...

Personality biomarkers of pathological gambling: A machine learning study.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: The application of artificial intelligence to extract predictors of Gambling disorder (GD) is a new field of study. A plethora of studies have suggested that maladaptive personality dispositions may serve as risk factors for GD.

Robotic-assisted single-port donor nephrectomy using the da Vinci single-site platform.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Although single-port donor nephrectomy offers improved cosmetic outcomes, technical challenges have limited its application to selected centers. Our center has performed over 400 single-port donor nephrectomies. The da Vinci single-site r...

Quantitative surface analysis of combined MRI and PET enhances detection of focal cortical dysplasias.

NeuroImage
OBJECTIVE: Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) often cause pharmacoresistant epilepsy, and surgical resection can lead to seizure-freedom. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) play complementary roles in FCD identifica...

Inclusion of service robots in the daily lives of frail older users: A step-by-step definition procedure on users' requirements.

Archives of gerontology and geriatrics
The implications for the inclusion of robots in the daily lives of frail older adults, especially in relation to these population needs, have not been extensively studied. The "Multi-Role Shadow Robotic System for Independent Living" (SRS) project ha...

Use of a Neural Net to Model the Impact of Optical Coherence Tomography Abnormalities on Vision in Age-related Macular Degeneration.

American journal of ophthalmology
PURPOSE: To develop a neural network for the estimation of visual acuity from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to demonstrate its use to model the impact of specific con...
