Support vector machine for breast cancer classification using diffusion-weighted MRI histogram features: Preliminary study.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is currently one of the fastest developing MRI-based techniques in oncology. Histogram properties from model fitting of DWI are useful features for differentiation of lesions, and classification can potentiall...

Individualized prediction of psychosis in subjects with an at-risk mental state.

Schizophrenia research
Early intervention strategies in psychosis would significantly benefit from the identification of reliable prognostic biomarkers. Pattern classification methods have shown the feasibility of an early diagnosis of psychosis onset both in clinical and ...

A sonographic investigation for the development of ultrasound-guided paravertebral brachial plexus block in dogs: cadaveric study.

Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia
OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel in-plane ultrasound (US)-guided approach to the sixth (C6), seventh (C7), eighth (C8) cervical and to the first thoracic (T1) spinal nerves.

Comparison of Two Endovascular Steerable Robotic Catheters for Percutaneous Robot-Assisted Fibroid Embolization.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
PURPOSE: To compare outcomes of percutaneous robot-assisted uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) using two different endovascular robotic catheters.

Sporulated Bacillus as alternative treatment for diarrhea of hospitalized adult patients under enteral nutrition: A pilot randomized controlled study.

Clinical nutrition ESPEN
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Among hospitalized patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN), malnutrition and antibiotic use are some of the most common causes of diarrhea. Prebiotics and probiotics agents have been used for treatment of diarrhea in such patient...

Persistent light to moderate alcohol intake and lung function: A longitudinal study.

Alcohol (Fayetteville, N.Y.)
Alcohol intake has been inconsistently associated with lung function levels in cross-sectional studies. The goal of our study was to determine whether longitudinally assessed light-to-moderate alcohol intake is associated with levels and decline of l...

An Evaluation of Artificial Neural Networks in Predicting Pancreatic Cancer Survival.

Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the development of an artificial neural network (ANN) method for predicting the survival likelihood of pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. The ANN predictive model should produce results with a 90% sensitivity.

Association Between Optic Nerve Head Blood Flow Measured Using Laser Speckle Flowgraphy and Radial Arterial Pressure During Aortic Arch Surgery.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to investigate the association between ocular blood flow measured using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and radial arterial pressure during aortic arch surgery.

Changes in cardiac function and hemodynamics during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with steep head-down tilt: a prospective observational study.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy requires the patient to be placed in a steep head-down tilt. The aim of our study was to investigate changes in cardiac index and left ventricular end-diastolic volume in a steep had-down tilt. Thi...
