Forecasting Pedestrian Movements Using Recurrent Neural Networks: An Application of Crowd Monitoring Data.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Currently, effective crowd management based on the information provided by crowd monitoring systems is difficult as this information comes in at the moment adverse crowd movements are already occurring. Up to this moment, very little forecasting tech...

Coronary artery centerline extraction in cardiac CT angiography using a CNN-based orientation classifier.

Medical image analysis
Coronary artery centerline extraction in cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) images is a prerequisite for evaluation of stenoses and atherosclerotic plaque. In this work, we propose an algorithm that extracts coronary artery centerlines in CCTA using a con...

The design and validation of a hybrid digital-signal-processing plug-in for traditional cochlear implant speech processors.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cochlear implants (CIs) are electronic devices restoring partial hearing to deaf individuals with profound hearing loss. In this paper, a new plug-in for traditional IIR filter-banks (FBs) is presented for cochlear implants ...

Friendship with a robot: Children's perception of similarity between a robot's physical and virtual embodiment that supports diabetes self-management.

Patient education and counseling
OBJECTIVE: The PAL project develops a conversational agent with a physical (robot) and virtual (avatar) embodiment to support diabetes self-management of children ubiquitously. This paper assesses 1) the effect of perceived similarity between robot a...

Optimal adjuvant endocrine treatment of ER+/HER2+ breast cancer patients by age at diagnosis: A population-based cohort study.

European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990)
BACKGROUND: Prior randomised controlled trials on adjuvant hormonal therapy included HER2 patients; however, a differential effect of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) versus tamoxifen (TAM) may have been missed in ER+/HER2+ patients that comprise 7-15% of ...

A multicentre verification study of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland)
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this verification study was to compare the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) to the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In Tube (QFT-GIT). The new QFT-Plus test contains an extra antigen tube which, according to the manufacturer additionally...

Synaptic damage underlies EEG abnormalities in postanoxic encephalopathy: A computational study.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVE: In postanoxic coma, EEG patterns indicate the severity of encephalopathy and typically evolve in time. We aim to improve the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these EEG abnormalities.

Assigning clinical codes with data-driven concept representation on Dutch clinical free text.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Clinical codes are used for public reporting purposes, are fundamental to determining public financing for hospitals, and form the basis for reimbursement claims to insurance providers. They are assigned to a patient stay to reflect the diagnosis and...
