Factors associated with viral suppression among HIV-positive Kenyan gay and bisexual men who have sex with men.

AIDS care
The UNAIDS 90-90-90 target has prioritized achieving high rates of viral suppression. We identified factors associated with viral suppression among HIV-positive gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in Kisumu, Kenya. HIV-positive...

Neural Networks for Prognostication of Patients With Heart Failure.

Circulation. Heart failure
Background Prognostication of heart failure patients from cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) currently involves simplification of complex time-series data into summary indices. We hypothesized that prognostication could be improved by considering t...

Effect of reducing assistance during robot-assisted gait training on step length asymmetry in patients with hemiplegic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: An assist-as-needed robot-assisted gait training protocol was recently developed. It allows active movement during training, but its exact criteria remain unknown. Asymmetric step length is a common abnormal gait pattern in hemiplegic str...

Predictive markers of depression in hypertension.

Medicine
Hypertension and depression, as 2 major public health issues, are closely related. For patients having hypertension, in particular, depression is a risk factor for mortality and jeopardizes their wellbeing. The aim of the study is to apply support ve...

Effects of a methodological infographic on research participants' knowledge, transparency, and trust.

Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association
OBJECTIVE: Given participants' research literacy is essential for clinical trial participation, evidence-based strategies are needed that improve literacy and easily accessed online. We tested whether an infographic letter-that illustrated how dropou...

Incidence and location of positive surgical margin among open, laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients: a single institutional analysis.

Japanese journal of clinical oncology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the positive surgical margin rates and locations in radical prostatectomy among three surgical approaches, including open radical prostatectomy, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Automated Segmentation and Quantification of Drusen in Fundus and Optical Coherence Tomography Images for Detection of ARMD.

Journal of digital imaging
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the most common retinal syndromes that occurs in elderly people. Different eye testing techniques such as fundus photography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are used to clinically examine the A...

Rethinking Skin Lesion Segmentation in a Convolutional Classifier.

Journal of digital imaging
Melanoma is a fatal form of skin cancer when left undiagnosed. Computer-aided diagnosis systems powered by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can improve diagnostic accuracy and save lives. CNNs have been successfully used in both skin lesion segme...

Effects of newly developed compact robot-aided upper extremity training system (Neuro-X®) in patients with stroke: A pilot study.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy of the upper extremity after stroke has been studied widely; however, robotic devices remain expensive and bulky. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a newly developed, compact upper e...

Prediction of Individual Disease Conversion in Early AMD Using Artificial Intelligence.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: While millions of individuals show early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) signs, yet have excellent vision, the risk of progression to advanced AMD with legal blindness is highly variable. We suggest means of artificial intelligence to...
