A Concept-Wide Association Study of Clinical Notes to Discover New Predictors of Kidney Failure.

Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Identifying predictors of kidney disease progression is critical toward the development of strategies to prevent kidney failure. Clinical notes provide a unique opportunity for big data approaches to identify novel risk fac...

A robot-based behavioural task to quantify impairments in rapid motor decisions and actions after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Stroke can affect our ability to perform daily activities, although it can be difficult to identify the underlying functional impairment(s). Recent theories highlight the importance of sensory feedback in selecting future motor actions. T...

Stop! border ahead: Automatic detection of subthalamic exit during deep brain stimulation surgery.

Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society
BACKGROUND: Microelectrode recordings along preplanned trajectories are often used for accurate definition of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) borders during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for Parkinson's disease. Usually, the demarcation of the S...

Successful classification of cocaine dependence using brain imaging: a generalizable machine learning approach.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Neuroimaging studies have yielded significant advances in the understanding of neural processes relevant to the development and persistence of addiction. However, these advances have not explored extensively for diagnostic accuracy in hum...

Computer-aided diagnosis system for lung nodules based on computed tomography using shape analysis, a genetic algorithm, and SVM.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Lung cancer is the major cause of death among patients with cancer worldwide. This work is intended to develop a methodology for the diagnosis of lung nodules using images from the Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LID...

Improving Feature Representation Based on a Neural Network for Author Profiling in Social Media Texts.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
We introduce a lexical resource for preprocessing social media data. We show that a neural network-based feature representation is enhanced by using this resource. We conducted experiments on the PAN 2015 and PAN 2016 author profiling corpora and obt...

Detection of small colon bleeding in wireless capsule endoscopy videos.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
In the recent years, wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) technology has played a very important role in diagnosing diseases within the gastro intestinal (GI) tract of human beings. The WCE device captures images of the GI tract of patient with a certain...
