Neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injury, stroke and Parkinson's disease can change all aspects of a patient’s life, from self-care to social behavior. One of the theories, which has a very strong evidence in rehabilitation, works on recovery of reflexes in order to treat patients. On the other hand, there has been a great deal of evidence that cerebrum has a very important role in recovery of functions. However, one open question is how these two views work together. In this research, change in the Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) due to cortical activities was studied. The amplitude and delay of H-reflex before and after the motor imagery task were compared. Twelve healthy subjects participated in this study. Subjects were requested to imagine flexion and extension of wrist, and H-reflex was recorded during the imagery task. The EMG was recorded from flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscle. There was a statistically significant difference between the H-reflex amplitude in the wrist flexion imagery and no-imagery condition (p-value = 0.002). However, there was no significant difference in the wrist extension imagery and no-imagery condition (p-value = 0.622). Thus, results can guide researchers to the conclusion that the motor imagery task may affect spinal reflexes.","PeriodicalId":338286,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th National and 3rd International Iranian Conference on Biomedical Engineering (ICBME)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125384046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deep neural networks provide the ability of visual interpretation of complex environments. An important part of providing smart health and smart care services, is patient monitoring and remote clinical decision management. In this paper a deep learning based patient monitoring and clinical decision management system for smart care facilities is proposed. The proposed cross-platform e-management system is a part of a medical business intelligence framework which is capable of helping care providers with various alerts, recommendations, data analytics and dashboards for better response to the situations in a smart care facility. The proposed system processes various information including the visual information to automatically alert the physician and care provider with the status of the patients. A series of simulations are performed for scenarios including children and adult care. The simulation results show that the proposed framework is capable of providing a cross-platform solution for patient monitoring in smart care facilities.","PeriodicalId":338286,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th National and 3rd International Iranian Conference on Biomedical Engineering (ICBME)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124225532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, liver segmentation and volume estimation using image processing techniques play an important role in the follow up procedure. Automated liver segmentation is a challenging problem mostly addressed in CT images. MR imaging is preferred by radiologists for follow-up procedures since it does not expose patients to ionizing radiation and provides higher resolution. However, fewer studies report liver segmentation in MR images. MRI Liver segmentation represents a challenge due to presence of characteristic artifacts, such as partial volumes, noise, low contrast and poorly defined edges of the liver with respect to adjacent organs. In the present study we introduced a new automatic algorithm to 3D liver segmentation for MR and CE-MR images. The proposed algorithm includes a liver mean- shape that provides an automatic initialization together with a novel active contour method based on region with edge-weight and edge terms. In addition, different areas of liver were found, and dependent parameters were calculated automatically using modern geodesic function. We tested our algorithm on images acquired from 54 subjects in two hospitals. Finally, the results of the proposed method were compared with those of two conventional active contour methods.","PeriodicalId":338286,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th National and 3rd International Iranian Conference on Biomedical Engineering (ICBME)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123373829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chitosan-Alginate (C-A) solutions were prepared in 8:2, 7:3 and 5:5 weight percentages. Afterwards, these solutions were used to make composite films to use as solvent casting. Gelatin (G) was immobilized onto C-A films using the crosslinking reagents, which included Glutaraldehyde. The effects of C-A ratio, gelatin concentration, amount of crosslinking agent and duration of immobilization process on the actual immobilized layer were investigated. The films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Furrier Transformer Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Zeta Potential. SEM images demonstrated that immobilization onto 7:3 and 5:5 weight percentages ratios of C-A, resulted in a more consistent gelatin layer compared to 8:2. FTIR stereoscopy, which showed the appearance of amid peak in modified films. In DSC curves, suppression in Glass Transmission Temperature (Tg) in modified films was detected. Also, Zeta potential decreased as the amount of gelatin layer on C-A films was increased. The newly developed (C-A-G) Composite films by simple, yet effective method of immobilization can be used for various biomedical applications like tissue engineering and wound healing.","PeriodicalId":338286,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th National and 3rd International Iranian Conference on Biomedical Engineering (ICBME)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130824424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
