Human pose estimation is a computer vision task that predicts the position of person's body landmarks within given image or video. This technology could help provide virtual motion assessments by analyzing videos captured when patient outside clinical setting. In this study, newer model can run on smartphone (BlazePose) was compared to well-accepted solution (OpenPose) determine if these models clinically viable keypoints for assessment. Using ten relevant movements (recorded physicians),...
Background: Post-stroke fatigue is a common and debilitating issue, often linked to depression or neural damage. Emerging evidence suggests that myasthenia gravis (MG) may also play role in post-stroke fatigue, offering new perspective on patient management long-term disability reduction. Objectives: This study aims assess the incidence of de novo MG stroke survivors following motor recovery over 18 24 months compare findings with healthy control group. Methods: Conducted at tertiary care...
The Modified Mallet Score (MMS) is widely used to assess upper limb function but requires evaluation by experienced clinicians. This study automated MMS assessments using smartphone videos, artificial intelligence (AI), and new algorithms. A total of 125 videos covering all grades were recorded from four neurotypical participants. For recordings, an expert physician provided manual scores as the ground truth. OpenPose BODY25 model extracted body keypoint data, which calculate joint angles...
Recent advancements in computing and artificial intelligence (AI) make it possible to quantitatively evaluate human movement using digital video, thereby opening the possibility of more accessible gait analysis. The Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) is an effective tool for observational analysis, but scoring videos can take over 20 min requires experienced observers. This research developed algorithmic implementation EVGS from handheld smartphone video enable automatic scoring. Participant...
Movement assessments are invaluable in clinical practice. However, the feasibility of in-person evaluation has been greatly affected due to COVID-19 pandemic. To overcome this barrier, a virtual assessment system using artificial intelligence (AI) and patient provided videos is needed. AI models for pose inference have produced viable results identifying person's joint centers. Identifying that provide clinically meaningful important designing motion tool. This study aims evaluate usefulness...
OBJECTIVE The lack of access to primary neurosurgical care presents a significant burden for patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Efforts decrease the inequities surgical have become an increasing focus initiatives advocacy within international neurosurgery community. Although residents may represent highly active members teams, extent their availability interest global opportunities remains unclear. objectives this study were assess degree participation, level interest,...
OBJECTIVE Although patients with lumbosacral lipomas may be asymptomatic at presentation, most develop neurological symptoms over time. Given the challenges in examining infants, authors sought to determine whether MRI would helpful identifying who are more likely deteriorate early life and potentially benefit from surgical intervention. METHODS A retrospective review of all were seen authors' institution between 1997 2013 managed without prophylactic surgery was performed. The clinical...
Introduction Brain tumors are the most common solid malignancy and leading cause of cancer-related deaths in infants. Current epidemiological data is limited by low numbers reported cases. This study used a population-based approach with analysis contemporary historical survival curves to provide up-to-date prognostication. Methods Observational cohort was performed using Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results (SEER) database. Infants brain diagnosed from 1973 2013 were categorized tumor...
Abstract Objective Patients with epilepsy who do not respond to two trials of appropriate antiepileptic drugs are considered have drug‐resistant (DRE). The International League Against Epilepsy recommends patients DRE be referred for surgical evaluation; however, prior literature suggests this is an underutilized intervention, especially in the pediatric setting. This study captures practices North American neurologists regarding management and factors that may promote or limit referrals...

<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Pilocytic astrocytomas are common pediatric tumors. Molecular profiles vary with location of origin. Comparisons proliferation have not been reported. We sought to identify differences in growth by region and whether these predict clinical behavior. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A retrospective review all patients undergoing surgery for a pilocytic astrocytoma at Children’s Hospital LA from 2003 2015 was completed. Tumor...
