Performance of OpenBCI EEG Binary Intent Classification with Laryngeal Imagery [PDF]
One of the greatest goals of neuroscience in recent decades has been to rehabilitate individuals who no longer have a functional relationship between their mind and their body. Although neuroscience has produced technologies which allow the brains of paralyzed patients to accomplish tasks such as spell words or control a motorized wheelchair, these ...

Comparison of the standard laryngeal mask airway and the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway in obese patients [PDF]
The ProSeal laryngeal mask airway (PLMA) may have advantages over the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in obese patients. We tested this hypothesis in a clinical setting.Sixty obese patients (BMI >30) were randomized to receive mechanical ventilation (tidal volume 7 ml kg(-1), PEEP 10 cm H(2)O), through either the PLMA or the LMA. A gastric tube was used in

ABSTRACT Introduction Registered nurses (RN)s account for the majority of the rural and remote health workforce and require different skills, knowledge and working practices compared to their metropolitan counterparts. Given the complexity and diversity of the rural and remote work environment, it is important to investigate the contemporary literature

Validation of the Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
This study sought to psychometrically validate the Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity (DIGEST) scale in persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (pALS). Data confirm that the DIGEST scale is a reliable and valid VF outcome tool for use in clinical practice and as a clinical trial endpoint marker in pALS.

A CT-Based Airway Segmentation Using U$^2$-net Trained by the Dice Loss Function [PDF]
Airway segmentation from chest computed tomography scans has played an essential role in the pulmonary disease diagnosis. The computer-assisted airway segmentation based on the U-net architecture is more efficient and accurate compared to the manual segmentation.

ABSTRACT Background Day surgery has become the main mode of surgery in American and European countries, but it is still in the early stage in developing countries due to the limitation of medical technology and the backward management concept. At present, day surgery accounts for more than 60% of elective surgery in many countries in Europe and North ...

Airflow in a Multiscale Subject-Specific Breathing Human Lung Model [PDF]
The airflow in a subject-specific breathing human lung is simulated with a multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) lung model. The three-dimensional (3D) airway geometry beginning from the mouth to about 7 generations of airways is reconstructed from the multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) image at the total lung capacity (TLC).
