BACKGROUND: 18F-FDG-PET/CT has become a standard for assessing treatment response in patients with lymphoma. A subjective interpretation of the scan based on the Deauville 5-point scale has been widely adopted. However, inter-observer variability due...
OBJECTIVE: Steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) are neural oscillations from the parietal and occipital regions of the brain that are evoked from flickering visual stimuli. SSVEPs are robust signals measurable in the electroencephalogram (E...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is gaining increased attention as a biometric method in a wide range of applications, such as access control and security/privacy requirements. The majority of reported investigations using the ECG biometric method are usually...

A cardiac arrest is a life-threatening event, often fatal. Whilst clinicians classify some of the cardiac arrests as potentially predictable, the majority are difficult to identify even in a post-incident analysis. Changes in some patients' physiolog...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), an incremental benefit of achieving histologic healing beyond that of endoscopic mucosal healing has been suggested; persistent histologic inflammation increases the risk of exacerbati...
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of estrous detection technique based on continuous measurements of vaginal temperature (VT) and conductivity (VC) with supervised machine learning in cattle. The VT and VC of 17 cows in tie-stalls were m...
