Micromechanical properties of hydroxyapatite nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs and ZrO2
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study examined the mechanical properties, wettability, and tribology of hydroxyapatite (HA)–zirconia (ZrO2)–carbon nanotube (CNTs) ceramic nanocomposites (with various CNT ratios (x): 1, 5, and 10 wt%). HA–ZrO2–CNT-x ...
Machine learning-based classification of healthy and impaired gaits using 3D-GRF signals
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Gait analysis is helpful for rehabilitation, clinical diagnoses, and sporting activities. Among the gathered signals, ground reaction forces (GRF) may be used for assisting doctors in recognizing and categorizing gait ...
Novel techniques for improving NNetEn entropy calculation for short and noisy time series
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Entropy is a fundamental concept in the field of information theory. During measurement, conventional entropy measures are susceptible to length and amplitude changes in time series. A new entropy metric, neural network ...

With an expectation of an increased number of revision surgeries and patients receiving orthopedic implants in the coming years, the focus of joint replacement research needs to be on improving the mechanical properties ...
Machine Learning-Based Respiration Rate and Blood Oxygen Saturation Estimation Using Photoplethysmogram Signals
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
The continuous monitoring of respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) is crucial for patients with cardiac, pulmonary, and surgical conditions. RR and SpO2 are used to assess the effectiveness of lung medications ...
A Machine Learning-Based Severity Prediction Tool for the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
Diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) is a serious long-term complication of diabetes, which may lead to foot ulceration and amputation. Among the screening tools for DSPN, the Michigan neuropathy screening instrument ...
Meat and dairy products intake is associated with gastric cancer: Case–control study findings
(
Wiley
, 2023 , Article)
Countries experiencing a significant shift toward Western lifestyle are facing an increased risk of gastric cancer (GC). While many studies have explored the link between diet and GC, the role of meat and dairy consumption ...
