Tuberculine reaction measured by infrared thermography
(Elsevier, 2015-11)
Setting: The infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis gives a delayed immune response, measured by the tuberculine skin test. We present a new technique for evaluation based on automatic detection and ...
On the analysis of speech and disfluencies for automatic detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment
(Springer Nature, 2018-05-08)
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by a progressive and irreversible cognitive deterioration. In a previous stage, the so-called Mild Cognitive Impairment or cognitive loss appears. Nevertheless, this ...
Selection of entropy based features for automatic analysis of essential tremor
(MDPI, 2016)
Biomedical systems produce biosignals that arise from interaction mechanisms. In a general form, those mechanisms occur across multiple scales, both spatial and temporal, and contain linear and non-linear ...
A comparative study of in-air trajectories at short and long distances in online handwriting
(Springer Nature, 2017)
Existing literature about online handwriting analysis to support pathology diagnosis has taken advantage of in-air trajectories. A similar situation occurred in biometric security applications where the ...
Automatic analysis of Archimedes’ spiral for characterization of genetic essential tremor based on Shannon’s entropy and fractal dimension
(MDPI, 2018-07-16)
Among neural disorders related to movement, essential tremor has the highest prevalence; in fact, it is twenty times more common than Parkinson’s disease. The drawing of the Archimedes’ spiral is the ...
Quantitative analysis of relationship between hypokinetic dysarthria and the freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Hypokinetic dysarthria (HD) and freezing of gait (FOG) are both axial symptoms that occur in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is assumed they have some common pathophysiological mechanisms and ...
Changes in phonation and their relations with progress of Parkinson’s disease
(MDPI, 2018-11-22)
Hypokinetic dysarthria, which is associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD), affects several speech dimensions, including phonation. Although the scientific community has dealt with a quantitative analysis ...
Identification and monitoring of Parkinson’s disease dysgraphia based on fractional-order derivatives of online handwriting
(MDPI, 2018-12-11)
Parkinson’s disease dysgraphia affects the majority of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and is the result of handwriting abnormalities mainly caused by motor dysfunctions. Several effective approaches ...
