Using Machine Learning to Identify Change in Surgical Decision Making in Current Use of Damage Control Laparotomy.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: In an earlier study, we reported the successful reduction in the use of damage control laparotomy (DCL); however, no change in the relative frequencies of specific indications was observed. In this study, we aimed to use machine learning ...

Qoala-T: A supervised-learning tool for quality control of FreeSurfer segmented MRI data.

NeuroImage
Performing quality control to detect image artifacts and data-processing errors is crucial in structural magnetic resonance imaging, especially in developmental studies. Currently, many studies rely on visual inspection by trained raters for quality ...

An EOG-based wheelchair robotic arm system for assisting patients with severe spinal cord injuries.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: In this study, we combine a wheelchair and an intelligent robotic arm based on an electrooculogram (EOG) signal to help patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) accomplish a self-drinking task. The main challenge is to accurately control ...

Performance of machine-learning algorithms to pattern recognition and classification of hearing impairment in Brazilian farmers exposed to pesticide and/or cigarette smoke.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The use of pesticides has been increasing in agriculture, leading to a public health problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate ototoxic effects in farmers who were exposed to cigarette smoke and/or pesticides and to identify possible classificat...

Automatic thyroid nodule recognition and diagnosis in ultrasound imaging with the YOLOv2 neural network.

World journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: In this study, images of 2450 benign thyroid nodules and 2557 malignant thyroid nodules were collected and labeled, and an automatic image recognition and diagnosis system was established by deep learning using the YOLOv2 neural network. ...

Predicting patient-reported outcomes following hip and knee replacement surgery using supervised machine learning.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Machine-learning classifiers mostly offer good predictive performance and are increasingly used to support shared decision-making in clinical practice. Focusing on performance and practicability, this study evaluates prediction of patient...

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma segmentation based on enhanced convolutional neural networks using multi-modal metric learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
Multi-modality examinations have been extensively applied in current clinical cancer management. Leveraging multi-modality medical images can be highly beneficial for automated tumor segmentation as they provide complementary information that could m...

Feasibility of a Support Vector Machine Classifier for Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Diagnostic Case-Control Study.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
OBJECTIVES: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is the most common cause of chronic pain worldwide. The diagnosis of MPS is subjective, which has created a need for a robust quantitative method of diagnosing MPS. We propose that using a support vector mac...

MRI-based attenuation correction for brain PET/MRI based on anatomic signature and machine learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
Deriving accurate attenuation maps for PET/MRI remains a challenging problem because MRI voxel intensities are not related to properties of photon attenuation and bone/air interfaces have similarly low signal. This work presents a learning-based meth...

Myoelectric control algorithm for robot-assisted therapy: a hardware-in-the-loop simulation study.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: A direct blow to the knee is one way to injure the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), e.g., during a football or traffic accident. Robot-assisted therapy (RAT) rehabilitation, simulating regular walking, improves walking and balance abilit...
