Individual prediction of chronic motor outcome in the acute post-stroke stage: Behavioral parameters versus functional imaging.

Human brain mapping
Several neurobiological factors have been found to correlate with functional recovery after brain lesions. However, predicting the individual potential of recovery remains difficult. Here we used multivariate support vector machine (SVM) classificati...

The Expanding Role of Endoscopic Robotics in Mitral Valve Surgery: 1,257 Consecutive Procedures.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: The role of robotic instruments in mitral valve (MV) surgery continues to evolve. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, efficacy, and scope of MV surgery using a lateral endoscopic approach with robotics (LEAR) technique.

An Automated and Intelligent Medical Decision Support System for Brain MRI Scans Classification.

PloS one
A wide interest has been observed in the medical health care applications that interpret neuroimaging scans by machine learning systems. This research proposes an intelligent, automatic, accurate, and robust classification technique to classify the h...

Risk factor detection for heart disease by applying text analytics in electronic medical records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
In the United States, about 600,000 people die of heart disease every year. The annual cost of care services, medications, and lost productivity reportedly exceeds 108.9 billion dollars. Effective disease risk assessment is critical to prevention, ca...

Robotic distal pancreatectomy versus conventional laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy: a comparative study for short-term outcomes.

Frontiers of medicine
Robotic system has been increasingly used in pancreatectomy. However, the effectiveness of this method remains uncertain. This study compared the surgical outcomes between robot-assisted laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and conventional laparoscopi...

Robot-assisted primary cementless total hip arthroplasty with a short femoral stem: a prospective randomized short-term outcome study.

Computer aided surgery : official journal of the International Society for Computer Aided Surgery
BACKGROUND: Recently, two topical issues in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been robot-assisted surgery and use of a short stem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of robotic milling on the accuracy of short femoral stem position...

Effect of an interactive therapeutic robotic animal on engagement, mood states, agitation and psychotropic drug use in people with dementia: a cluster-randomised controlled trial protocol.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Apathy, agitated behaviours, loneliness and depression are common consequences of dementia. This trial aims to evaluate the effect of a robotic animal on behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia in people with dementia living ...

Clinical usefulness and validity of robotic measures of reaching movement in hemiparetic stroke patients.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Various robotic technologies have been developed recently for objective and quantitative assessment of movement. Among them, robotic measures derived from a reaching task in the KINARM Exoskeleton device are characterized by their potenti...

Effect of Tracheal Cuff Shape on Intracuff Pressure Change During Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery: The Tapered-Shaped Cuff Tube Versus the Cylindrical-Shaped Cuff Tube.

Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
BACKGROUND: Although the cuff of tracheal tubes can reduce airflow leakage and prevent aspiration, excessive intracuff pressure can cause tracheal mucosal injury. Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) can increase intracuff pressure by the Trend...
