Machine learning classification of mesial temporal sclerosis in epilepsy patients.

Epilepsy research
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Novel approaches applying machine-learning methods to neuroimaging data seek to develop individualized measures that will aid in the diagnosis and treatment of brain-based disorders such as temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Using ...

An automatic system to identify heart disease risk factors in clinical texts over time.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Despite recent progress in prediction and prevention, heart disease remains a leading cause of death. One preliminary step in heart disease prediction and prevention is risk factor identification. Many studies have been proposed to identify risk fact...

Going beyond a First Reader: A Machine Learning Methodology for Optimizing Cost and Performance in Breast Ultrasound Diagnosis.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
The goal of this study was to devise a machine learning methodology as a viable low-cost alternative to a second reader to help augment physicians' interpretations of breast ultrasound images in differentiating benign and malignant masses. Two indepe...

A similarity-based data warehousing environment for medical images.

Computers in biology and medicine
A core issue of the decision-making process in the medical field is to support the execution of analytical (OLAP) similarity queries over images in data warehousing environments. In this paper, we focus on this issue. We propose imageDWE, a non-conve...

Transurethral versus suprapubic catheter at robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a prospective randomized trial with 1-year follow-up.

World journal of urology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate urethral catheter (UC) versus suprapubic tube (SPT) without stenting the anastomosis at robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP) regarding surgical outcome and catheter-associated discomfort. One year after surgery, continen...

Machine Learning of DTI Structural Brain Connectomes for Lateralization of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

Magnetic resonance in medical sciences : MRMS : an official journal of Japan Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We analyzed the ability of a machine learning approach that uses diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) structural connectomes to determine lateralization of epileptogenicity in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).

Single-bundle ACL reconstruction with and without extra-articular reconstruction: evaluation with robotic lower leg rotation testing and patient satisfaction scores.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and patient outcomes after either isolated intraarticular ACL reconstruction or intraarticular reconstruction with lateral extra-articular tenodesis. In addition, we ...

Improvement in the Prediction of Ventilator Weaning Outcomes by an Artificial Neural Network in a Medical ICU.

Respiratory care
BACKGROUND: Twenty-five to 40% of patients pass a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) but fail to wean from mechanical ventilation. There is no single appropriate and convenient predictor or method that can help clinicians to accurately predict weaning...

Discriminating preictal and interictal brain states in intracranial EEG by sample entropy and extreme learning machine.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders approximately one in every 100 people worldwide are suffering from it. Uncontrolled epilepsy poses a significant burden to society due to associated healthcare cost to treat and co...

A Context-Aware Application to Increase Elderly Users Compliance with Physical Rehabilitation Exercises at Home via Animatronic Biofeedback.

Journal of medical systems
Biofeedback from physical rehabilitation exercises has proved to lead to faster recovery, better outcomes, and increased patient motivation. In addition, it allows the physical rehabilitation processes carried out at the clinic to be complemented wit...
