Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the severe health issues and most common types diseases. It frequent cause mortality across globe due to lack a healthy lifestyle. Owing fact that attack occurs without any apparent symptoms, an intelligent detection method inescapable. In this article, new CHD based on machine learning technique, e.g., classifier ensembles, dealt with. A two-tier ensemble built, where some classifiers are exploited as base another ensemble. stacked architecture...
Background and purpose The Gugging Swallowing Screen ( GUSS ) is a tool to screen aspiration risk in acute stroke. We aimed replicate its validity larger second cohort of patients with stroke, including the more severe National Institutes Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥ 15. Methods In prospective, double‐blind design, was validated Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation scale. Patients were categorized into different stroke severities as assessed by NIHSS , diagnostic properties calculated...
Voice changes may be the earliest signs in laryngeal cancer. We investigated whether automated voice signal analysis can used to distinguish patients with cancer from healthy subjects. extracted features using software package for speech phonetics (PRAAT) and calculated Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) samples of a vowel sound /a:/. The proposed method was tested six algorithms: support vector machine (SVM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), light boosted (LGBM), artificial...
Abstract Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has benefits for motor rehabilitation in stroke patients, but its clinical application is limited due to inter-individual heterogeneous effects. Recently, optimized tDCS that considers individual brain structure been proposed, the utility thereof not studied detail. We explored whether provides unique electrode positions each patient and creates a higher target electric field than conventional approach. A comparative within-subject...
Dysphagia is a common clinical condition characterized by difficulty in swallowing. It sub-classified into oropharyngeal dysphagia, which refers to problems the mouth and pharynx, esophageal body esophagogastric junction. can have significant negative impact one's physical health quality of life as its severity increases. Therefore, proper assessment management dysphagia are critical for improving swallowing function preventing complications. Thus guideline was developed provide...
Sarcopenia is a rapidly rising health concern in the fast-aging countries, but its demanding diagnostic process hurdle for making timely responses and devising active strategies. To address this, our study developed evaluated novel sarcopenia diagnosis system using Stimulated Muscle Contraction Signals (SMCS), aiming to facilitate rapid accessible community settings. We recruited 199 adults from Wonju Severance Christian Hospital between July 2022 October 2023. SMCS data were collected...
To investigate the inter-rater agreement using Videofluoroscopic Dysphagia Scale (VDS).The present study was designed as a multicenter, single-blind trial. A Swallowing Study (VFSS) performed protocol described by J.A Logemann. Thick-fluid, pureed food, mechanically altered regularly textured and thin-fluid boluses were sequentially swallowed. Each participant received 3 ml bolus followed 5 of each food material, in order mentioned above. All procedures video recorded. Discs containing these...
ObjectiveMetaplastic breast carcinomas (MBC) are a rare type of cancer and generally characterized by hormone receptor human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) negativity. There is paucity information on prognosis according to HER2 expression for these tumors. The aim this study was compare the clinical features between triple-negative metaplastic carcinoma (TNMC) non-triple-negative (NTNMC).
This study evaluated the nerve conduction (NCS) parameters of most distal sensory nerves lower extremities-namely, medial dorsal cutaneous (MDC), sural (DS), and plantar (MP) nerves-in diabetic (DM) impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) patients who displayed normal findings on their routine NCSs.Standard NCSs were performed healthy control (HC), DM, IGT groups (N = 147). The bilateral NCS MDC, DS, MP investigated. Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS) was assessed for DM groups.The mean TCSS...
The cerebellum communicates with the cerebral cortex through cortico-ponto-cerebellar tract (CPCT, cerebellar afferent) and dentato-rubro-thalamo-cortical (DRTCT, efferent). This study explored laterality of CPCT DRTCT in a right-handed population. Forty healthy subjects (18 males 22 females age range 26-79 years old) who underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were retrospectively enrolled. Bilateral CPCT, DRTCT, corticospinal (CST) reconstructed using probabilistic tractography (DTT)....
Abstract Background and purpose The corticobulbar tract is a potential neural pathway involved in swallowing. frontal operculum, insular cortex, corona radiata internal capsule, which are frequently middle cerebral artery (MCA) strokes, locations lesions cause dysphagia. However, it unclear whether the linked to or integrity associated with dysphagia severity. This study aimed assess association between severity after MCA stroke. Methods Thirty dysphagic patients stroke 27 healthy controls...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used for the restoration of awareness in patients with a minimal consciousness state (MCS). Most brains MCS may structurally and electrophysiologically differ from un-damaged brains. Moreover, tDCS is currently contraindicated craniotomy or skull metallic implants.
Abstract Background There have been multiple reports about the occurrence of dysphagia after contraction coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). However, a detailed pathology and epidemiologic relation between COVID‐19 infection yet to be established. Here, we report three cases unexplained diagnosis, with atypical clinical presentations. Case All patients showed severe isolated lower cranial nerve involvement aspiration, which required full tube feeding but no evidence limb weakness or sensory...
