Prediction of Anti-VEGF Treatment Requirements in Neovascular AMD Using a Machine Learning Approach.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to predict low and high anti-VEGF injection requirements during a pro re nata (PRN) treatment, based on sets of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images acquired during the initiation phase in neovascular AMD.

An algorithm to increase intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in the presence of a competing talker.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Individuals with hearing impairment have particular difficulty perceptually segregating concurrent voices and understanding a talker in the presence of a competing voice. In contrast, individuals with normal hearing perform this task quite well. This...

Task-Oriented Performance Evaluation for Assistive Robotic Manipulators: A Pilot Study.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the performance of commercially available assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) user interfaces and to investigate the concurrent validity and sensitivity to change with task-oriented performan...

Unraveling the linguistic nature of specific autobiographical memories using a computerized classification algorithm.

Behavior research methods
In the present study, we explored the linguistic nature of specific memories generated with the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) by developing a computerized classifier that distinguishes between specific and nonspecific memories. The AMT is regard...

THE EFFECT OF TOTAL AND PARTIAL NEPHRECTOMY ON THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF INTRAVENOUS PARACETAMOL IN HUMANS.

Acta poloniae pharmaceutica
Paracetamol is one of the most common analgesic and antipyretic drugs. Recently intravenous paracetamol has been widely used to treat moderate postoperative pain. Surgery is the main method of treatment of renal cancer. Total or partial nephrectomy c...

Machine Learning of the Progression of Intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration Based on OCT Imaging.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: To develop a data-driven interpretable predictive model of incoming drusen regression as a sign of disease activity and identify optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers associated with its risk in intermediate age-related macular degen...

Evaluation of robot-guided minimally invasive implantation of 2067 pedicle screws.

Neurosurgical focus
Objective Recent studies have investigated the role of spinal image guidance for pedicle screw placement. Many authors have observed an elevated placement accuracy and overall improvement of outcome measures. This study assessed a bi-institutional ex...

Endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery using the iArmS operation support robot: initial experience in 43 patients.

Neurosurgical focus
Objective The intelligent arm-support system, iArmS, which follows the surgeon's arm and automatically fixes it at an adequate position, was developed as an operation support robot. iArmS was designed to support the surgeon's forearm to prevent hand ...

Revisions for screw malposition and clinical outcomes after robot-guided lumbar fusion for spondylolisthesis.

Neurosurgical focus
OBJECTIVE The accuracy of robot-guided pedicle screw placement has been proven to be high, but little is known about the impact of such guidance on clinical outcomes such as the rate of revision surgeries for screw malposition. In addition, there are...

Robotic paravertebral schwannoma resection at extreme locations of the thoracic cavity.

Neurosurgical focus
Solitary paravertebral schwannomas in the thoracic spine and lacking an intraspinal component are uncommon. These benign nerve sheath tumors are typically treated using complete resection with an excellent outcome. Resection of these tumors is achiev...
