Heart disease classification using hybridized Ruzzo-Tompa memetic based deep trained Neocognitron neural network
AbstractAccording to the survey 17.5 million deaths are happened due to the cardiovascular disease that leads to create heart attack, chest pain and stroke. Based on the survey it clearly concludes that most of the people affected by heart problem that need to be identified in the earlier stage for eliminating the future risk in patient health. The importance of the heart disease detection process helps to create the earlier detection system for identifying heart problem by using machine learning and optimized techniques but the developed forecasting systems are difficult to predict the heart problems in an accurate manner...

CBN: Constructing a Clinical Bayesian Network based on Data from the Electronic Medical Record
Publication date: Available online 3 November 2018Source: Journal of Biomedical InformaticsAuthor(s): Ying Shen, Lizhu Zhang, Jin Zhang, Min Yang, Buzhou Tang, Yaliang Li, Kai LeiAbstractThe process of learning candidate causal relationships involving diseases and symptoms from electronic medical records (EMRs) is the first step towards learning models that perform diagnostic inference directly from real healthcare data. However, the existing diagnostic inference systems rely on knowledge bases such as ontology that are manually compiled through a labour-intensive process or automatically derived using simple pairwise stat...

Featured Review: Electromechanical and robot ‐assisted arm training for improving activities of daily living, arm function, and arm muscle strength after stroke
Updated review: Electromechanical and robot ‐assisted arm training for improving activities of daily living, arm function, and arm muscle strength after strokeIn thisupdated review authors from Germany came together to re-assess the effects of electromechanical and robot ‐assisted arm training for improving arm function in people who have had a stroke. The review was updated from having low/very low quality evidence of benefit to high quality evidence of benefit.Electromechanical and robot ‐assisted arm training uses specialised machines to assist rehabilitation in supporting shoulder, elbow, or hand movements. Howev...

Digital health news briefs for 5/15/18
Machine learning helps docs view the brain.   Automated cerebrovascular imaging company iSchemaView has just released its latest product Rapid Aspect, a digital imaging tool that helps clinicians assess early signs of brain ischemia in stroke patients. The technology will automatically generate a standardized score for physicians based on ma chine learning algorithms. The product is designed to help doctors communicate the ischemic changes in a patient ' s brain, and determine if a patient needs a clot removal.

Combined Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Virtual Reality-Based Paradigm for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Individuals with Restricted Movements. A Feasibility Study with a Chronic Stroke Survivor with Severe Hemiparesis
We present a virtual reality-based paradigm for upper limb rehabilitation that allows for interaction of individuals with restricted movements from active responses triggered when they attempt to perform a movement. The experimental system also provides multisensory stimulation in the visual, auditory, and tactile channels, and transcranial direct current stimulation coherent to the observed movements. A feasibility study with a chronic stroke survivor with severe hemiparesis who seemed to reach a rehabilitation plateau after two years of its inclusion in a physical therapy program showed clinically meaningful improvement ...

Plaque Tissue Morphology-Based Stroke Risk Stratification Using Carotid Ultrasound: A Polling-Based PCA Learning Paradigm
AbstractSevere atherosclerosis disease in carotid arteries causes stenosis which in turn leads to stroke. Machine learning systems have been previously developed for plaque wall risk assessment using morphology-based characterization. The fundamental assumption in such systems is the extraction of the grayscale features of the plaque region. Even though these systems have the ability to perform risk stratification, they lack the ability to achieve higher performance due their inability to select and retain dominant features. This paper introduces a polling-based principal component analysis (PCA) strategy embedded in the m...

Effect of stroke-order learning and handwriting exercises on recognizing and writing Chinese characters by Chinese as a foreign language learners
This study used a computer-based teaching system to investigate the effectiveness of stroke-order learning and writing exercises in promoting the ability of Chinese-as-a-foreign-language (CFL) learners to recognize and write Chinese characters. This study included a 2 (stroke-order and non-stroke-order) × 2 (writing exercise and non-writing exercise) × 2 (test point) mixed factorial design involving a total of 91 participants. We compared the difference in their Chinese character learning, including Chinese character recognition and handwriting, based on the learning conditions. We found that CFL learners who practic...

International Clinical Trials' Day 2016
International Clinical Trials' Day is celebrated around the world each year on or close to 20 May, commemorating the day in 1747 on which James Lind began the first known controlled trial, comparing different treatments for scurvy then in common use among sailors in the British Royal Navy. (Watch a video explaining the trial to see history in the making.) International Clinical Trials' Day seeks to raise awareness of the importance of research to health care, and draw attention to ways in which the research can become more relevant to practice.The European Clinical Research Infrastructures Network (ECRIN) helps to co-ordin...

Computer Imagery and Neurological Rehabilitation: On the Use of Augmented Reality in Sensorimotor Training to Step Up Naturally Occurring Cortical Reorganization in Patients Following Stroke.
Authors: Correa-Agudelo E, Ferrin C, Velez P, Gomez JD Abstract This work promotes the use of computer-generated imagery -as visual illusions- to speed up motor learning in rehabilitation. In support of this, we adhere the principles of experience-dependent neuroplasticity and the positive impact of virtual reality (VR) thereof. Specifically, post-stroke patients will undergo motor therapy with a surrogate virtual limb that fakes the paralyzed limb. Along these lines, their motor intentions will match the visual evidence, which fosters physiological, functional and structural changes over time, for recovery of lost...
