Utility of the morphometry of the maxillary sinuses for gender determination by using computed tomography.

Dental and medical problems
BACKGROUND: It is impossible to use the routine skeletal parts for gender identification if the skeleton of unknown human remains is obtained in a fragmented and incomplete state. The alternative is to use other parts of the skeleton for gender ident...

The association between clinically suspect arthralgia and adipokines in obese patients.

Acta reumatologica portuguesa
OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a moderate low-grade chronic inflammatory condition. The cause of low-grade inflammation in obese patients who have clinically suspect arthralgia (CSA) may be the subject of debate in clinical practice. Our aim is to determine w...

A comparison of logistic regression and artificial neural networks in predicting central lymph node metastases in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.

Annali italiani di chirurgia
OBJECTIVE: Prophylactic central lymph node dissection(CLND) is a controversial issue in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma( PTMC) patients without lymphatic metastasis. Artificial neural network(ANN) has been proposed as an alternative statistical tech...

Expectations for the Next Generation of Simulated Patients Born from Thoughtful Anticipation of Artificial Intelligence-Equipped Robot.

Journal of Nippon Medical School = Nippon Ika Daigaku zasshi
It is predicted that in the near future robot simulated patients (SPs) will come into use. Through the impressions of five SPs about robot SPs, we explored their vision of the future of medical education as an indicator of what ordinary citizens thin...

Self-powered robots to reduce motor slacking during upper-extremity rehabilitation: a proof of concept study.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is a highly promising approach to recover lost functions after stroke or other neurological disorders. Unfortunately, robotic rehabilitation currently suffers from "motor slacking", a phenomenon in which the human m...

Effects of robot-assisted therapy on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in hemiplegic patients: A single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Many robots can induce passive movements and passive resistance movements to facilitate recovery of upper-extremity function, but it is rare to find robots that can also enable active resistance movements.

Classification of Infectious and Noninfectious Diseases Using Artificial Neural Networks from 24-Hour Continuous Tympanic Temperature Data of Patients with Undifferentiated Fever.

Critical reviews in biomedical engineering
Fever is one of the major clinical symptoms of undifferentiated fever cases. Early diagnosis of undifferentiated fever is a challenging task for the physician. The aim of this study was to classify infectious and noninfectious diseases from 24-hour c...

Plasma fatty acid profile as biomarker of coronary artery disease: a pilot study using fourth generation artificial neural networks.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents
Many studies, focused on identifying new biomarkers for coronary artery disease (CAD) risk computation and monitoring, suggested a potential diagnostic role for fatty acids (FA). In the present study, we explored the potential diagnostic role of FA b...
