Biofeedback Signals for Robotic Rehabilitation: Assessment of Wrist Muscle Activation Patterns in Healthy Humans.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Electrophysiological recordings from human muscles can serve as control signals for robotic rehabilitation devices. Given that many diseases affecting the human sensorimotor system are associated with abnormal patterns of muscle activation, such biof...

Exoskeleton plantarflexion assistance for elderly.

Gait & posture
Elderly are confronted with reduced physical capabilities and increased metabolic energy cost of walking. Exoskeletons that assist walking have the potential to restore walking capacity by reducing the metabolic cost of walking. However, it is unclea...

The Variability of Translocator Protein Signal in Brain and Blood of Genotyped Healthy Humans Using In Vivo I-CLINDE SPECT Imaging: A Test-Retest Study.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
I-CLINDE is a radiotracer developed for SPECT and targets the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO). TSPO is upregulated in glial cells and used as a measure of neuroinflammation in a variety of central nervous system diseases. The aim of this study was...

The effect of geographical indices on left ventricular structure in healthy Han Chinese population.

International journal of biometeorology
The left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) and interventricular septum thickness (IVST) are generally regarded as the functional parts of the left ventricular (LV) structure. This paper aims to examine the effects of geographical indices o...

Mapping dynamical properties of cortical microcircuits using robotized TMS and EEG: Towards functional cytoarchitectonics.

NeuroImage
Brain dynamics at rest depend on the large-scale interactions between oscillating cortical microcircuits arranged into macrocolumns. Cytoarchitectonic studies have shown that the structure of those microcircuits differs between cortical regions, but ...

Predicting ground contact events for a continuum of gait types: An application of targeted machine learning using principal component analysis.

Gait & posture
An ongoing challenge in the application of gait analysis to clinical settings is the standardized detection of temporal events, with unobtrusive and cost-effective equipment, for a wide range of gait types. The purpose of the current study was to inv...

An unsupervised learning method to identify reference intervals from a clinical database.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Reference intervals are critical for the interpretation of laboratory results. The development of reference intervals using traditional methods is time consuming and costly. An alternative approach, known as an a posteriori method, requires an expert...

Antimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system plus PDT against intracanal Candida albicans: an ex vivo study.

Brazilian oral research
This study evaluated the ex vivoantimicrobial efficacy of the EndoVac system and the photodynamic therapy (PDT) associated with chemomechanical debridement (CMD) and intracanal medication on Candida albicans. Seventy-eight sterile premolars were cont...

Capnodynamic assessment of effective lung volume during cardiac output manipulations in a porcine model.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
A capnodynamic calculation of effective pulmonary blood flow includes a lung volume factor (ELV) that has to be estimated to solve the mathematical equation. In previous studies ELV correlated to reference methods for functional residual capacity (FR...

Machine learning algorithm accurately detects fMRI signature of vulnerability to major depression.

Psychiatry research
Standard functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analyses cannot assess the potential of a neuroimaging signature as a biomarker to predict individual vulnerability to major depression (MD). Here, we use machine learning for the first time to ad...
