An Intelligent Decision Support System for Leukaemia Diagnosis using Microscopic Blood Images.

Scientific reports
This research proposes an intelligent decision support system for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia diagnosis from microscopic blood images. A novel clustering algorithm with stimulating discriminant measures (SDM) of both within- and between-cluster sca...

Robustness and Reliability of Synergy-Based Myocontrol of a Multiple Degree of Freedom Robotic Arm.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In this study, we test the feasibility of the synergy- based approach for application in the realistic and clinically oriented framework of multi-degree of freedom (DOF) robotic control. We developed and tested online ten able-bodied subjects in a se...

Predictive Value of Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin for Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Catheterization: A Meta-analysis.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) accumulates in cortical tubules in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients, with its levels associated with serum creatinine. However, the predictive value of NGAL level for contrast-induced ac...

Myocardial Fractional Flow Reserve Measurement Using Contrast Media as a First-Line Assessment of Coronary Lesions in Current Practice.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement requires adenosine injection. However, adenosine can induce conductive and rhythmic complications, or be contraindicated in some patients. Contrast-induced hyperemia could provide a simple first-l...

Cytotoxicity of chitosan/streptokinase nanoparticles as a function of size: An artificial neural networks study.

Nanomedicine : nanotechnology, biology, and medicine
Predicting the size and toxicity of chitosan/streptokinase nanoparticles at various values of processing parameters was the aim of this study. For the first time, a comprehensive model could be developed to determine the cytotoxicity of the nanoparti...

Harnessing Computational Biology for Exact Linear B-Cell Epitope Prediction: A Novel Amino Acid Composition-Based Feature Descriptor.

Omics : a journal of integrative biology
Proteins embody epitopes that serve as their antigenic determinants. Epitopes occupy a central place in integrative biology, not to mention as targets for novel vaccine, pharmaceutical, and systems diagnostics development. The presence of T-cell and ...

A bifurcation identifier for IV-OCT using orthogonal least squares and supervised machine learning.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT) is an in-vivo imaging modality based on the intravascular introduction of a catheter which provides a view of the inner wall of blood vessels with a spatial resolution of 10-20 μm. Recent studies in...

Foot-controlled robotic-enabled endoscope holder for endoscopic sinus surgery: A cadaveric feasibility study.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the feasibility of a unique prototype foot-controlled robotic-enabled endoscope holder (FREE) in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

An Improved Sparse Representation over Learned Dictionary Method for Seizure Detection.

International journal of neural systems
Automatic seizure detection has played an important role in the monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. In this paper, a patient specific method is proposed for seizure detection in the long-term intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) recor...

Supervised, Unsupervised, and Semi-Supervised Feature Selection: A Review on Gene Selection.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Recently, feature selection and dimensionality reduction have become fundamental tools for many data mining tasks, especially for processing high-dimensional data such as gene expression microarray data. Gene expression microarray data comprises up t...
