A comparison between rectal and colonic biopsies to detect Lewy pathology in Parkinson's disease
Neurobiology of Disease, 2012 We have shown that routine biopsies of the ascending colon obtained at colonoscopy allow the detection of Lewy neurites (LN) in the enteric nervous system (ENS) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Although colonoscopy is a relatively safe procedure, it

Explainable human‐in‐the‐loop healthcare image information quality assessment and selection
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Smart healthcare applications cannot be separated from healthcare data analysis and the interactive interpretability between data and model. A human‐in‐the‐loop active learning approach is introduced to reduce the cost of healthcare data labelling by evaluating the information quality of unlabelled medical data and then screening the high ...
