Intermediate-term cancer control outcomes in prostate cancer patients treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a multi-institutional analysis.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: Cancer control outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer (PCa) remain inadequately addressed over intermediate-term (≥5-year) follow-up. We examined biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCRFS), clini...

The voluntary driven exoskeleton Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) for postoperative training of thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: a case report.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: The hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is a wearable robot suit that assists in voluntary control of knee and hip joint motion by detecting bioelectric signals on the surface of the skin with high sensitivity. HAL has been reported to be effective ...

Simple Scoring System and Artificial Neural Network for Knee Osteoarthritis Risk Prediction: A Cross-Sectional Study.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease of adults worldwide. Since the treatments for advanced radiographic knee OA are limited, clinicians face a significant challenge of identifying patients who are at high risk of OA ...

Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty in haemophilic arthropathy.

Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia
INTRODUCTION: Execution of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in end-stage haemophilic arthropathy is challenging because of soft tissue fibrosis, flexion contractures, poor quality of the bone, and the altered bony anatomy. Restoring the lower limb align...

Fully automated classification of bone marrow infiltration in low-dose CT of patients with multiple myeloma based on probabilistic density model and supervised learning.

Computers in biology and medicine
This paper presents a fully automated method for the identification of bone marrow infiltration in femurs in low-dose CT of patients with multiple myeloma. We automatically find the femurs and the bone marrow within them. In the next step, we create ...

Robot-Assisted End-Effector-Based Stair Climbing for Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing: Feasibility, Reliability, and Repeatability.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Neurological impairments can limit the implementation of conventional cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and cardiovascular training strategies. A promising approach to provoke cardiovascular stress while facilitating task-specific e...

Fusing Data Mining, Machine Learning and Traditional Statistics to Detect Biomarkers Associated with Depression.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Atheoretical large-scale data mining techniques using machine learning algorithms have promise in the analysis of large epidemiological datasets. This study illustrates the use of a hybrid methodology for variable selection that took acco...

Rapid identification of slow healing wounds.

Wound repair and regeneration : official publication of the Wound Healing Society [and] the European Tissue Repair Society
Chronic nonhealing wounds have a prevalence of 2% in the United States, and cost an estimated $50 billion annually. Accurate stratification of wounds for risk of slow healing may help guide treatment and referral decisions. We have applied modern mac...
