PEDF, a pleiotropic WTC-LI biomarker: Machine learning biomarker identification and validation.

PLoS computational biology
Biomarkers predict World Trade Center-Lung Injury (WTC-LI); however, there remains unaddressed multicollinearity in our serum cytokines, chemokines, and high-throughput platform datasets used to phenotype WTC-disease. To address this concern, we used...

A novel vision-based real-time method for evaluating postural risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders.

Applied ergonomics
Real-time risk assessment for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) has been a challenging research problem. Previous methods such as using depth cameras suffered from limited visual range and wearable sensors could cause intrusiveness to the ...

Measuring Biomechanical Risk in Lifting Load Tasks Through Wearable System and Machine-Learning Approach.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Ergonomics evaluation through measurements of biomechanical parameters in real time has a great potential in reducing non-fatal occupational injuries, such as work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Assuming a correct posture guarantees the avoidance...

A machine learning approach to detect changes in gait parameters following a fatiguing occupational task.

Ergonomics
The purpose of this study is to provide a method for classifying non-fatigued vs. fatigued states following manual material handling. A method of template matching pattern recognition for feature extraction ($1 Recognizer) along with the support vect...

Prediction Effects of Personal, Psychosocial, and Occupational Risk Factors on Low Back Pain Severity Using Artificial Neural Networks Approach in Industrial Workers.

Journal of manipulative and physiological therapeutics
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to provide an empirical model of predicting low back pain (LBP) by considering the occupational, personal, and psychological risk factor interactions in workers population employed in industrial units using an artificial ...

Experimental evaluation of a novel robotic hospital bed mover with omni-directional mobility.

Applied ergonomics
Bed pushing during patient transfer is one of the most physically demanding and yet common tasks in the hospital setting. Powered bed movers have been increasingly introduced to hospitals to reduce physiological strains on the users. This study intro...

Prediction of hearing loss among the noise-exposed workers in a steel factory using artificial intelligence approach.

International archives of occupational and environmental health
PURPOSE: Prediction of hearing loss in noisy workplaces is considered to be an important aspect of hearing conservation program. Artificial intelligence, as a new approach, can be used to predict the complex phenomenon such as hearing loss. Using art...

Comparison of postural ergonomics between laparoscopic and robotic sacrocolpopexy: a pilot study.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare resident, fellow, and attending urologic and gynecologic surgeons' musculoskeletal and mental strain during laparoscopic and robotic sacrocolpopexy.

Predicting Pneumoconiosis Risk in Coal Workers using Artificial Neural Networks.

Puerto Rico health sciences journal
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to create a model to predict pneumoconiosis risk in coal workers using artificial neural networks (ANNs).

[Neural network analysis of mechanization's impact on coal miner's occupational health].

Zhonghua lao dong wei sheng zhi ye bing za zhi = Zhonghua laodong weisheng zhiyebing zazhi = Chinese journal of industrial hygiene and occupational diseases
In order to clarify the transmission mechanism of the impact of mechanization on the occupational health of miners and to provide empirical evidence for the development of new quality productivity in the coal industry that balances health and efficie...
