An expert consensus survey based on electronic communication of Delphi method is conducted to develop the TCM clinical pathway for acute ischemie stroke. An initial protocol of the clinical pathway is developed based on literature survey and by an internal panel of experts, which forms the basis of the questionnaire of the Delphi survey. The content of the initial questionnaire is classified into...
To investigate stiff person syndrome(SPS) in Chinese patients. Combining 192 patients currently reported in China with previous literature review, the authors report the disease incidence, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, treatment methods, causes of death and related research progress. The occurrence of this disease is mainly due to influenza and tumor induced, characterized by fluctuating muscle...
Feature selection is an effective data preprocessing step to reduce the dimension of feature space and save storage space. Binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) has been applied successfully to solve feature selection problem. But it was easy to fall into local optimal point. M2BPSO was an improved BPSO algorithm. The particles of M2BPSO were updated by using various evolutionary strategies according...
Steerable needles are widely used in minimally invasive surgery. To perform medical tasks well in the deep of a human body, it is required that a needle is easier and more accurate to be controlled and steered. In this paper, the thrusting performances of a one-direction bendable needle are investigated in detail. Such a needle consists of a bevel-tip head, several articulations, and several sections...
Computing all minimal hitting sets (MHSs) is a key step of model-based diagnosis. A novel method to compute all MHSs called Binary-label HSSE is put forward, which combines HSSE-tree and binary label. In the method, binary digits is used to mark the real elements of the nodes, and effective pruning and expanding strategies are used to avoid the main problem of HSSE-tree, the explosive growth of the...
A PID-IMP type iterative learning controller is proposed to harness the nonrepetitive output disturbance with known repeating patterns. A new uniform framework to design the PID-IMP type ILC controller and new theory to optimize the parameters are established for much wider applicable field. The algorithm has higher convergence speed and convergence precision than previous algorithms. Simulation examples...
