Towards fully automated third molar development staging in panoramic radiographs.

International journal of legal medicine
Staging third molar development is commonly used for age assessment in sub-adults. Current staging techniques are, at most, semi-automated and rely on manual interactions prone to operator variability. The aim of this study was to fully automate the ...

Robotic Cholecystectomy Is a Safe Educational Alternative to Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy During General Surgical Training: A Pilot Study.

Journal of surgical education
OBJECTIVE: The role of robotic surgery in general surgery (GS) continues to expand. Several programs have integrated robotic-based simulators and models into surgical education; however, residents' robotic experience in the operating room is currentl...

Development of realistic multi-contrast textured XCAT (MT-XCAT) phantoms using a dual-discriminator conditional-generative adversarial network (D-CGAN).

Physics in medicine and biology
Develop a machine learning-based method to generate multi-contrast anatomical textures in the 4D extended cardiac-torso (XCAT) phantom for more realistic imaging simulations. As a pilot study, we synthesize CT and CBCT textures in the chest region. F...

Estimating an individual's oxygen uptake during cycling exercise with a recurrent neural network trained from easy-to-obtain inputs: A pilot study.

PloS one
Measurement of oxygen uptake during exercise ([Formula: see text]) is currently non-accessible to most individuals without expensive and invasive equipment. The goal of this pilot study was to estimate cycling [Formula: see text] from easy-to-obtain ...

SeizureBank: A Repository of Analysis-ready Seizure Signal Data.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Approximately 60 million people worldwide suffer from epileptic seizures. A key challenge in machine learning ap proaches for epilepsy research is the lack of a data resource of analysis-ready (no additional preprocessing is needed when using the dat...

The Effect of Using PARO for People Living With Dementia and Chronic Pain: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of interaction with a robotic seal (PARO) on pain and behavioral and psychological symptoms of people with dementia and chronic pain.

Alendronate/Vitamin D for attenuating bone mineral density loss during antiretroviral initiation: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

HIV research & clinical practice
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation is associated with decreases in bone mineral density (BMD). To plan for a larger trial, we sought to obtain preliminary estimates for the difference in the change in BMD at 48 weeks achieved with 24 weeks of p...

Robot-assisted arm training for treating adult patients with distal radius fracture: a proof-of-concept pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Fracture of the distal radius is a common wrist injury. As to its management after orthopedic (conservative or surgical) treatment, there is weak evidence for conventional rehabilitation interventions. Despite the increasing interest for ...
