Diagnosis of hydrocephalus symptoms and shunting system faults currently are based on clinical observation, monitoring of cranial growth, transfontanelle pressure, imaging techniques and, on occasion, studies of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics. Up to date, the patient has to visit the hospital or meet consultant to diagnose the symptoms that occur due to rising of intracranial pressure or any shunt...
Although increasingly sophisticated algorithms have been proposed to decompose intramuscular electromyography signals into the concurrent activities of individual motor units (MUs), the human operator is still able to improve decomposition results by visual inspection. The rationale for this paper was to combine components from previous decomposition procedures in an expert systems approach utilizing...
An expert system is described that gives advice about oliguria occurring on the intensive care unit. Explanations are constructed by finding probable paths in a causal network of pathophysiological states. The expert-system shell developed for this application is written in Prolog and runs on the IBM PC. Investigative tasks are scheduled using an agenda and can be suspended and resumed as required...
