An Integrated Soft Computing Approach to Hughes Syndrome Risk Assessment.

Journal of medical systems
The AntiPhospholipid Syndrome (APS) is an acquired autoimmune disorder induced by high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies that cause arterial and veins thrombosis, as well as pregnancy-related complications and morbidity, as clinical manifestation...

Robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants using 5-mm instruments.

Journal of pediatric urology
BACKGROUND: Utilization of the robotic approach to pyeloplasty continues to grow in the field of pediatric urology. Adoption in the infant population has perhaps been the slowest because of the limited operative domain and relatively large instrument...

Neural network prediction of severe lower intestinal bleeding and the need for surgical intervention.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The prognosis for patients with severe acute lower intestinal bleeding (ALIB) may be assessed by complex artificial neural networks (ANNs) or user-friendly regression-based models. Comparisons between these modalities are limited, and pre...

Septic shock prediction for ICU patients via coupled HMM walking on sequential contrast patterns.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Critical care patient events like sepsis or septic shock in intensive care units (ICUs) are dangerous complications which can cause multiple organ failures and eventual death. Preventive prediction of such events will allow ...

Impact of robotics and a suspended lead suit on physician radiation exposure during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions
BACKGROUND: Reports of left-sided brain malignancies among interventional cardiologists have heightened concerns regarding physician radiation exposure. This study evaluated the impact of a suspended lead suit and robotic system on physician radiatio...

Surgery for predominant lesion in nonlocalized bronchiectasis.

The Journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Patients with nonlocalized bronchiectasis are encountered commonly; however, there is little information regarding surgical intervention in this patient population. The aim of this study was to evaluate symptomatic response and safety of a...

An Intelligible Risk Stratification Model Based on Pairwise and Size Constrained Kmeans.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Having a system to stratify individuals according to risk is key to clinical disease prevention. This allows individuals identified at different risk tiers to benefit from further investigation and intervention. But the same risk score estimated for ...

Early surgery after angiography in patients scheduled for valve replacement.

Asian cardiovascular & thoracic annals
Background There are limited data regarding the risks of cardiac surgery early after coronary angiography in patients scheduled for isolated aortic and/or mitral valve replacement. Our aim was to evaluate the risk of early surgery after coronary angi...
