Using machine learning techniques to develop risk prediction models to predict graft failure following kidney transplantation: protocol for a retrospective cohort study.

F1000Research
A mechanism to predict graft failure before the actual kidney transplantation occurs is crucial to clinical management of chronic kidney disease patients.  Several kidney graft outcome prediction models, developed using machine learning methods, are...

A comparison of machine learning and logistic regression in modelling the association of body condition score and submission rate.

Preventive veterinary medicine
The effect of body condition score (BCS) on reproductive outcomes is complex, dynamic and non-linear with interaction and confounding. The flexibility inherent in machine learning algorithms makes them attractive for analysing complex data. This stud...

Experimental infection of Friesian bulls with Theileria orientalis (Ikeda) and effects on the haematocrit, live weight, rectal temperature and activity.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Since 2012, New Zealand has suffered from an epidemic of infectious bovine anaemia associated with T. orientalis (Ikeda), an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite of cattle. Despite widespread agreement that T. orientalis (Ikeda) infection has im...

Homecare Robots to Improve Health and Well-Being in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Stage Dementia: Results From a Scoping Study.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: This scoping study is the first step of a multiphase, international project aimed at designing a homecare robot that can provide functional support, track physical and psychological well-being, and deliver therapeutic intervention specifi...

A Pilot Randomized Trial of a Companion Robot for People With Dementia Living in the Community.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the affective, social, behavioral, and physiological effects of the companion robot Paro for people with dementia in both a day care center and a home setting.

Lounging with robots--social spaces of residents in care: A comparison trial.

Australasian journal on ageing
AIMS: To investigate whether robots could reduce resident sleeping and stimulate activity in the lounges of an older persons' care facility.

Group sessions with Paro in a nursing home: Structure, observations and interviews.

Australasian journal on ageing
AIM: We recently reported that a companion robot reduced residents' loneliness in a randomised controlled trial at an aged-care facility. This report aims to provide additional, previously unpublished data about how the sessions were run, residents' ...
