Classification of patients with cardiac amyloidosis using machine learning models on Italian electronic clinical health records

Silvestro Micera, Sara Mazzucato

Amyloidosis refers to a range of medical conditions in which misshapen proteins accumulate in various organs and tissues, forming insoluble fibrils. Cardiac amyloidosis is frequently linked to the buildup of misfolded transthyretin (TTR) or immunoglobulin ...

Predicting involuntary hospitalization in psychiatry: A machine learning investigation

Mehdi Gholam

Background Coercion in psychiatry is a controversial issue. Identifying its predictors and their interaction using traditional statistical methods is difficult, given the large number of variables involved. The purpose of this study was to use machine-lear ...

Gastric insufflation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A study in human cadavers

Introduction: Bag-valve-mask ventilation is the first-line ventilation method during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Risks include excessive volume delivery and gastric insufflation, the latter increasing the risk of pneumonia. The efficacy of ventila ...

Raspberry-Pi based system for propofol monitoring

Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Abuduwaili Tuoheti, Danilo Demarchi, Tugba Kilic

Induction of anesthesia with propofol is a largely adopted technique in hospital environments. The correct dosage of this compound is essential to avoid under- or over-anesthesia that may result in serious side-effects. Therefore, in clinical settings, lon ...

Towards 3D facial morphometry : facial image analysis applications in anesthesiology and 3D spectral nonrigid registration

Gabriel Louis Cuendet

In anesthesiology, the detection and anticipation of difficult tracheal intubation is crucial for patient safety. When undergoing general anesthesia, a patient who is unexpectedly difficult to intubate risks potential life-threatening complications with po ...

Development of a Database for Translational Spinal Cord Injury Research

Grégoire Courtine

Efforts to understand spinal cord injury (SCI) and other complex neurotrauma disorders at the pre-clinical level have shown progress in recent years. However, successful translation of basic research into clinical practice has been slow, partly because of ...

Automatic Mallampati Classification Using Active Appearance Models

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Matteo Sorci, Gabriel Louis Cuendet, Anil Yuce

Difficult tracheal intubation assessment is an important research topic in anesthesia as failed intubations are important causes of mortality in anesthetic practice. The modified Mallampati score is widely used, alone or in conjunction with other criteria, ...

Influence of Blade Aspiration on the Flow Quality of an Annular Axial Compressor Cascade

Peter Ott, Elia Colombo

Experimental and numerical investigations were performed in order to develop a technique of active flow control by aspiration applied to an annular axial compressor cascade. Continuous aspiration is applied through shaped slots located on the suction side ...

Anesthesia prevents auditory perceptual learning

Alain Farron, Michael Herzog, Elisa Tartaglia, Carl Kristoffer Aberg

BACKGROUND: An auditory perceptual learning paradigm was used to investigate whether implicit memories are formed during general anesthesia. METHODS: Eighty-seven patients who had an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I-III and were s ...

State Change Detection Using Multivariate Synchronization Measure from Physiological Signals

Martin Hasler, Kumiko Oshima, Cristian Carmeli

The cardiovascular system can be macro-modelled as a collection of coupled oscillators. Recently, the use of mutual couplings of these oscillators to characterize the state of the system during anaesthesia has been proposed. Assuming that the synchronizati ...
