Disentangling disorders of consciousness: Insights from diffusion tensor imaging and machine learning.

Human brain mapping
Previous studies have suggested that disorders of consciousness (DOC) after severe brain injury may result from disconnections of the thalamo-cortical system. However, thalamo-cortical connectivity differences between vegetative state (VS), minimally...

Flexible variable selection for recovering sparsity in nonadditive nonparametric models.

Biometrics
Variable selection for recovering sparsity in nonadditive and nonparametric models with high-dimensional variables has been challenging. This problem becomes even more difficult due to complications in modeling unknown interaction terms among high-di...

Predicting Market Impact Costs Using Nonparametric Machine Learning Models.

PloS one
Market impact cost is the most significant portion of implicit transaction costs that can reduce the overall transaction cost, although it cannot be measured directly. In this paper, we employed the state-of-the-art nonparametric machine learning mod...

Minimalistic toy robot to analyze a scenery of speaker-listener condition in autism.

Cognitive processing
Atypical neural architecture causes impairment in communication capabilities and reduces the ability of representing the referential statements of other people in children with autism. During a scenery of "speaker-listener" communication, we have ana...

Unbiased estimation of biomarker panel performance when combining training and testing data in a group sequential design.

Biometrics
Motivated by an ongoing study to develop a screening test able to identify patients with undiagnosed Sjögren's Syndrome in a symptomatic population, we propose methodology to combine multiple biomarkers and evaluate their performance in a two-stage g...

Robotic Quantification of Position Sense in Children With Perinatal Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Background Perinatal stroke is the leading cause of hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Motor deficits and their treatment are commonly emphasized in the literature. Sensory dysfunction may be an important contributor to disability, but it is difficult to me...

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...

Multiple kernel learning with random effects for predicting longitudinal outcomes and data integration.

Biometrics
Predicting disease risk and progression is one of the main goals in many clinical research studies. Cohort studies on the natural history and etiology of chronic diseases span years and data are collected at multiple visits. Although, kernel-based st...

Analysis of short-term heart rate and diastolic period variability using a refined fuzzy entropy method.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability (HRV) has been widely used in the non-invasive evaluation of cardiovascular function. Recent studies have also attached great importance to the cardiac diastolic period variability (DPV) examination. Short-term vari...
