Identification of the Pain Process by Cold Stimulation: Using Dynamic Causal Modeling of Effective Connectivity in Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)
ConclusionThis study contributes to the pain research field to identify the directionality and causality of neuronal connections in the prefrontal cortex by applying DCM to fNIRS data. The results suggest that the proposed method infers directional interactions between hidden neuronal states in the brain under neuronal dynamic conditions based on optical density changes measurement.Graphical abstract (Source: IRBM)

Detection of Seizure Event and Its Onset/Offset Using Orthonormal Triadic Wavelet Based Features
ConclusionThe present study focuses on detection of seizure onset and offset rather than only seizure detection. The major contribution of this work is that the novel triadic wavelet transform based method is developed for the analysis of EEG signals. The results show improvement over other existing dyadic wavelet based Triadic techniques.Graphical abstract (Source: IRBM)

Comparison of Several Algorithms to Estimate Activity Counts with Smartphones as an Indication of Physical Activity Level
ConclusionsSimple algorithms can reproduce the results of GT3X+. Thus, smartphones could be used to control the fulfillment of PA recommendations previously validated with cut-points. However, it must be acknowledged that accelerometers are not the gold standard to measure PA.Graphical abstract (Source: IRBM)

EEG and cognitive biomarkers based mild cognitive impairment diagnosis
ConclusionsOur classifier findings are consistent with the utmost evidence. Yet, our results are promising and especially newfangled in the case of FTT and CPT from the prior studies. We developed an experimental protocol and proposed a novel technique to classify MCI with efficient biomarkers.Graphical abstract (Source: IRBM)

Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubble Destruction (UTMD) for Localized Drug Delivery into Tumor Tissue
Publication date: Available online 28 November 2018Source: IRBMAuthor(s): J. Wischhusen, F. PadillaAbstractBackgroundUltrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) is a type of ultrasound therapy, in which low frequency moderate power ultrasound is combined with microbubbles to trigger cavitation. Cavitation is the process of oscillation of gas bubbles causing biophysical effects such as pushing and pulling or shock waves that permeabilize biological barriers. In vivo, cavitation results in tissue permeabilization and is used to enable local delivery of nanomedicine. While cavitation can occur in biological liquids whe...

Quantitative Ultrasound Assessment of Cortical Bone Properties Beyond Bone Mineral Density
This article aims at an overview of recent QUS developments to measure cortical bone properties. We also draw a picture of the current knowledge on bone material properties of interest for bone QUS. We discuss the potential of ultrasound to provide novel biomarkers of bone health through the assessment of material properties.Graphical abstract (Source: IRBM)

Activity Recognition for Anomalous Situations Detection
ConclusionOur method allows, on one hand, recognizing user activities and, on the other hand, detecting eventual occurrence of anomalies in the user's situation. It proves to be efficient using the tested datasets for each module. However, in order to obtain a more general conclusion we plan to evaluate the method using more different datasets.Graphical abstract (Source: IRBM)
