The simultaneous detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody to hepatitis B surface (anti‐HBs) is unusual in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, but may be related with more advanced liver diseases. This retrospective long‐term cohort study was aimed to investigate whether coexistence of HBsAg and anti‐HBs may increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic...
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are mainly characterized by deployment of biomedical sensors around human body which transmit vital signs measurements about healthy status to the coordinator. Depending on the relevance between symptoms and diseases, it may not be necessary for every sensor to transmit its measurements for diagnoses. This paper shows how the relevance can be exploited on the Medium...
In this paper, we focus on the problem of constructing an information gain model for stroke prevention in Ubiquitous Healthcare (U-Health) Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). We have constructed an information-based probabilistic relation model among the key indicators and sequenced their data gathering priority and precedence in the WBAN. Then, we constructed a cost function over the energy expenditure...
