Automated classification of neurological disorders of gait using spatio-temporal gait parameters.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
OBJECTIVE: Automated pattern recognition systems have been used for accurate identification of neurological conditions as well as the evaluation of the treatment outcomes. This study aims to determine the accuracy of diagnoses of (oto-)neurological g...

Identification of Type 2 Diabetes Risk Factors Using Phenotypes Consisting of Anthropometry and Triglycerides based on Machine Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes; however, to date, no study has assessed the predictive power of phenotypes based on individual anthropometric measurements and triglyceride (TG) levels. The ai...

Phase information of time-frequency transforms as a key feature for classification of atrial fibrillation episodes.

Physiological measurement
Patients suffering from atrial fibrillation can be classified into different subtypes, according to the temporal pattern of the arrhythmia and its recurrence. Nowadays, clinicians cannot differentiate a priori between the different subtypes, and pati...

Rapid automated classification of anesthetic depth levels using GPU based parallelization of neural networks.

Journal of medical systems
The effect of anesthesia on the patient is referred to as depth of anesthesia. Rapid classification of appropriate depth level of anesthesia is a matter of great importance in surgical operations. Similarly, accelerating classification algorithms is ...

Analyses of a cirrhotic patient's evolution using self organizing mapping and Child-Pugh scoring.

Journal of medical systems
Due to the importance of cirrhosis evolution, this study examined cirrhotic patients using Self Organizing Mapping (SOM) based on the Child-Pugh scoring method. Because Colored Doppler Ultrasound (CDU) has too many parameters, scoring can be a very d...

Pharmacokinetics of single and repeat doses of icatibant.

Clinical pharmacology in drug development
PURPOSE: Icatibant is a bradykinin-2 receptor antagonist approved to treat acute hereditary angioedema attacks in adults. To-date, no thorough investigation of the clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of icatibant and its primary metabolites has ...

Robotic surgery in supermorbidly obese patients with endometrial cancer.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Morbid obesity is a known risk factor for the development of endometrial cancer. Several studies have demonstrated the overall feasibility of robotic-assisted surgical staging for endometrial cancer as well as the benefits of robotics comp...

Robotic distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer patients with high body mass index: comparison with conventional laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a treatment of choice for early-stage gastric cancer. However, applying MIS to gastric patients with high body mass index (BMI) is technically challenging, especially when performing D2 lymp...

Obesity and perioperative pulmonary complications in robotic gynecologic surgery.

American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
OBJECTIVE: Robotic gynecological surgery is feasible in obese patients, but there remain concerns about the safety of this approach because the positioning required for pelvic surgery can exacerbate obesity-related changes in respiratory physiology. ...

Single incision trans-umbilical total hysterectomy: robotic or laparoscopic?

Gynecologic and obstetric investigation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the early surgical outcomes in patients who underwent total hysterectomy with laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS-TH) versus robotic single-site total hysterectomy (RSS-TH).
