BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Sepsis is a severe infection that increases mortality risk and is one if the main causes of death in intensive care units. Accurate detection is key to successful interventions, but diagnosis of sepsis is complicated becaus...
AIMS: This research work presented a comparative study of machine learning (ML), including two objectives: (i) determination of the risk factors of diabetic nephropathy (DN) based on principal component analysis (PCA) via different cutoffs; (ii) pred...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess whether a deep learning (DL) algorithm could enable simultaneous noise reduction and edge sharpening in low-dose lumbar spine CT.
Footprints are left, or obtained, in a variety of scenarios from crime scenes to anthropological investigations. Determining the sex of a footprint can be useful in screening such impressions and attempts have been made to do so using single or multi...
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization has recently updated exercise guidelines for people aged >65 years, emphasizing the inclusion of multiple fitness components. However, without adequate recognition of individual differences, these guidelines ...

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a critical medical condition that causes numerous impairments leading to accompanying disability. Robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) offers many advantages, including the capability to increase the intensity...
OBJECTIVE: Prediction of amputation wound healing is challenging due to the multifactorial nature of critical limb ischemia and lack of objective assessment tools. Up to one-third of amputations require revision to a more proximal level within 1 year...
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) incidence in Los Angeles County, California, USA (5.7 per 100,000) is significantly higher than the U.S. national average (2.9 per 100,000). Directly observed therapy (DOT) is the preferred strategy for active TB treatme...
