The affordability of minimally invasive procedures in major lung resection: a prospective study.

Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery
OBJECTIVES: Minimally invasive procedures are used for the surgical treatment of lung cancer. Two techniques are proposed: video-assisted thoracic surgery or robotic-assisted thoracic surgery. Our goal was to study the economic impact of our long-sta...

Machine Learning of the Progression of Intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration Based on OCT Imaging.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science
PURPOSE: To develop a data-driven interpretable predictive model of incoming drusen regression as a sign of disease activity and identify optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers associated with its risk in intermediate age-related macular degen...

Acta medica (Hradec Kralove)
INTRODUCTION: The aim of our study was to assess association of serum S100A4 protein with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD).

B-Type Natriuretic Peptide as a Predictor of Short-Term Mortality in On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Brazilian journal of cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: The present study refers to a determination of the preoperative B-type natriuretic peptide is a predictor of short-term all-cause mortality in patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgeries.

Technology for Early Detection of Depression and Anxiety in Older People.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Under-diagnosis of depression and anxiety is common in older adults. This project took a mixed methods approach to explore the application of machine learning and technology for early detection of these conditions. Mood measures collected with digita...

tDCS does not enhance the effects of robot-assisted gait training in patients with subacute stroke.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, which can modulate cortical excitability and combined with rehabilitation therapies may improve motor recovery after stroke.

Hand Robotic Therapy in Children with Hemiparesis: A Pilot Study.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to understand the impact of training with a hand robotic device on hand paresis and function in a population of children with hemiparesis.
