Transoral robotic excision of ectopic lingual thyroid: Case series and literature review.

Head & neck
BACKGROUND: Surgical excision of an ectopic lingual thyroid has traditionally been associated with significant morbidity and has therefore been reserved for patients with severe obstructive symptoms or suspected malignancy. Transoral robotic surgery ...

Combined unsupervised-supervised classification of multiparametric PET/MRI data: application to prostate cancer.

NMR in biomedicine
Multiparametric medical imaging data can be large and are often complex. Machine learning algorithms can assist in image interpretation when reliable training data exist. In most cases, however, knowledge about ground truth (e.g. histology) and thus ...

What device should be used for telementoring? Randomized controlled trial.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The paper analyzes behavioral patterns of mentors while using different mentoring devices to demonstrate the feasibility of multi-platform mentoring. The fundamental differences of devices supporting telementoring create thr...

Development of a cervical cancer progress prediction tool for human papillomavirus-positive Koreans: A support vector machine-based approach.

The Journal of international medical research
OBJECTIVES: To develop a Web-based tool to draw attention to patients positive for human papillomavirus (HPV) who have a high risk of progression to cervical cancer, in order to increase compliance with follow-up examinations and facilitate good doct...

Robot-Assisted Training Early After Cardiac Surgery.

Journal of cardiac surgery
BACKGROUND: To assess feasibility and safety of a robot-assisted gait therapy with the LokomatĀ® system in patients early after open heart surgery.

In good company? Perception of movement synchrony of a non-anthropomorphic robot.

PloS one
Recent technological developments like cheap sensors and the decreasing costs of computational power have brought the possibility of robotic home companions within reach. In order to be accepted it is vital for these robots to be able to participate ...

Annotating risk factors for heart disease in clinical narratives for diabetic patients.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task featured a track focused on identifying risk factors for heart disease (specifically, Cardiac Artery Disease) in clinical narratives. For this track, we used a "light" annotation paradigm...

A novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological heart murmurs.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper presents a novel method for discrimination between innocent and pathological murmurs using the growing time support vector machine (GTSVM). The proposed method is tailored for characterizing innocent murmurs (IM) by putting more emphasis o...

Robot-assisted arm assessments in spinal cord injured patients: a consideration of concept study.

PloS one
Robotic assistance is increasingly used in neurological rehabilitation for enhanced training. Furthermore, therapy robots have the potential for accurate assessment of motor function in order to diagnose the patient status, to measure therapy progres...
