Reducing Positional Variance in Cross-sectional Abdominal CT Slices with Deep Conditional Generative Models [PDF]
Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention MICCAI
2022, Cham, 2022, pp202,212, 2022 2D low-dose single-slice abdominal computed tomography (CT) slice enables direct measurements of body composition, which are critical to quantitatively characterizing health relationships on aging. However, longitudinal analysis of body composition changes using 2D abdominal slices is challenging due to positional variance between longitudinal slices ...

Primary abdominal muscle lymphoma [PDF]
BMJ Case Reports, 2013 Primary skeletal muscle lymphoma accounts for <1% of all lymphomas; a fraction of these arise within the abdominal muscles. Here, we describe the case of an 84-year-old woman who presented with multiple painful abdominal masses that proved to be diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and we discuss the main features of the disease.

A Deep Learning Localization Method for Measuring Abdominal Muscle Dimensions in Ultrasound Images [PDF]
, 2021 Health professionals extensively use Two- Dimensional (2D) Ultrasound (US) videos and images to visualize and measure internal organs for various purposes including evaluation of muscle architectural changes. US images can be used to measure abdominal muscles dimensions for the diagnosis and creation of customized treatment plans for patients with Low ...

A Robust Multi-Channel EMG System for Lower Back and Abdominal Muscles Training [PDF]
, 2021 EMG is an established method to acquire the action potentials of contracted muscles. Although commercial EMG systems are available and it is one of the most researched biosignals, it has never become widely used in rehabilitation or fitness training monitoring.

Detection of the motor points of the abdominal muscles [PDF]
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2014 Abdominal functional electrical stimulation (AFES) is a technique intended to improve respiratory function in tetraplegia where breathing is affected due to abdominal muscle paralysis. Although it is known that optimal muscle contraction is achieved when electrical stimulation is applied close to the muscle motor point, AFES studies have used a variety

A Recycling Training Strategy for Medical Image Segmentation with Diffusion Denoising Models [PDF]
Machine.Learning.for.Biomedical.Imaging. 2 (2023), 2023 Denoising diffusion models have found applications in image segmentation by generating segmented masks conditioned on images. Existing studies predominantly focus on adjusting model architecture or improving inference, such as test-time sampling strategies.

Otago Exercises Monitoring for Older Adults by a Single IMU and Hierarchical Machine Learning Models [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation
Engineering, vol. 32, pp. 462-471, 2024, 2023 Otago Exercise Program (OEP) is a rehabilitation program for older adults to improve frailty, sarcopenia, and balance. Accurate monitoring of patient involvement in OEP is challenging, as self-reports (diaries) are often unreliable. With the development of wearable sensors, Human Activity Recognition (HAR) systems using wearable sensors have ...

A novel in vivo approach to assess strains of the human abdominal wall under known intraabdominal pressure [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 125
(2022) 104902, 2021 The study concerns mechanical behaviour of a living human abdominal wall. A better mechanical understanding of a human abdominal wall and recognition of its material properties is required to find mechanically compatible surgical meshes to significantly improve the treatment of ventral hernias.

Abdominal muscle training in sport. [PDF]
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 1993 This paper evaluates several abdominal exercises, and highlights factors which are important for their safe prescription and effective use. The function of the abdominal muscles and hip flexors is considered, and the importance of the infra-umbilical portion of the rectus abdominis is emphasized. The effects of flexion on the lumbar spine are outlined.

Fully-automated Body Composition Analysis in Routine CT Imaging Using 3D Semantic Segmentation Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
, 2020 Body tissue composition is a long-known biomarker with high diagnostic and prognostic value in cardiovascular, oncological and orthopaedic diseases, but also in rehabilitation medicine or drug dosage. In this study, the aim was to develop a fully automated, reproducible and quantitative 3D volumetry of body tissue composition from standard CT ...
