BACKGROUND: Interventions leading to avoidance of supine position and thus reducing the likelihood of upper airway collapse during sleep are a treatment approach for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA). The aim of this randomized cross-over tri...

Recently, pressure-sensing mats have been widely used to capture static and dynamic pressure over sleep for posture recognition. Both a full-size mat with a low-density sensing array for figuring out the structure of the whole body and a miniature sc...

Malposition of a nasogastric tube (NGT) can lead to severe complications. We aimed to develop a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to localize NGTs and detect NGT malposition on portable chest X-rays (CXRs). A total of 7378 portable CXRs were retr...
The objective of this study was to investigate the accuracy of a Deep Neural Network (DNN) in recognizing activities typical for hospitalized patients. A data collection study was conducted with 20 healthy volunteers (10 males and 10 females, age = 4...
The further exploration of the capacitive ECG (cECG) is hindered by frequent fluctuations in signal quality from body movement and changes in sleep position. The processing framework must be fundamentally adapted to make full use of this signal. Ther...

PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have greatly improved medical image segmentation. A robust model requires training data can represent the entire dataset. One of the differing characteristics comes from variability in patient positioning ...
Epidural catheter migration is a well-known cause of failed anesthesia and complications. One of the factors that affect catheter movement is when patients change their position after skin fixation. We report a case of an epidural catheter placed wit...
This paper presents a method of characterizing the distribution of colorectal morphometrics. It uses three-dimensional region growing and topological thinning algorithms to determine and visualize the luminal volume and centreline of the colon, respe...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy requires patients to be secured in a steep Trendelenburg position for several hours. Added to the CO2 pneumoperitoneum that is created, this positioning invariably restricts diaphragmatic a...
UNLABELLED: A new lung sound analysis software program has been developed. It can automatically select a typical lung sound spectrogram and calculate lung sound parameters using machine learning programs. This study aimed to clarify lung sound charac...
