Subclinical Hypothyroidism Is Associated With Adverse Prognosis in Heart Failure Patients.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: It is widely recognized that overt hyper- as well as hypothyroidism are potential causes of heart failure (HF). Additionally it has been recently reported that subclinical hypothyroidism (sub-hypo) is associated with atherosclerosis, deve...

A new type of neurons for machine learning.

International journal for numerical methods in biomedical engineering
In machine learning, an artificial neural network is the mainstream approach. Such a network consists of many neurons. These neurons are of the same type characterized by the 2 features: (1) an inner product of an input vector and a matching weightin...

Continuous sweep versus discrete step protocols for studying effects of wearable robot assistance magnitude.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Different groups developed wearable robots for walking assistance, but there is still a need for methods to quickly tune actuation parameters for each robot and population or sometimes even for individual users. Protocols where parameters...

Extracting aerobic system dynamics during unsupervised activities of daily living using wearable sensor machine learning models.

Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)
Physical activity levels are related through algorithms to the energetic demand, with no information regarding the integrity of the multiple physiological systems involved in the energetic supply. Longitudinal analysis of the oxygen uptake (V̇o) by w...

A Wearable Hip Assist Robot Can Improve Gait Function and Cardiopulmonary Metabolic Efficiency in Elderly Adults.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The aims of this paper were to investigate the effectiveness of a newly developed wearable hip assist robot, that uses an active assist algorithm to improve gait function, muscle effort, and cardiopulmonary metabolic efficiency in elderly adults. Thi...

Control and Evaluation of a Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis for Stair Ascent.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper assesses the metabolic effort exerted by three transfemoral amputees, when using a powered knee and ankle prosthesis for stair ascent, relative to ascending stairs with passive knee and ankle prostheses. The paper describes a controller th...

High Amounts of Sitting, Low Cardiorespiratory Fitness, and Low Physical Activity Levels: 3 Key Ingredients in the Recipe for Influencing Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence.

American journal of health promotion : AJHP
PURPOSE: Limited research has evaluated the independent and additive associations of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior (SB), and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) with metabolic syndrome, which was the purpose of this st...

The immediate effects of robot-assistance on energy consumption and cardiorespiratory load during walking compared to walking without robot-assistance: a systematic review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The integration of sufficient cardiovascular stress into robot-assisted gait (RAG) training could combine the benefits of both RAG and aerobic training. The aim was to summarize literature data on the immediate effects of RAG compared to wal...
