However, EEG-based AD detection has suffered from poor performance and low generalizability due to the noisy nature of the signal and high inter-patient variability. Here, we show that emerging deep learning techniques can alleviate these challenges and pave the way for the clinical use o...
Most people don’t need special diagnostic tests. But sometimes, doctors suggest aCT scanor MRI to look for problems inside your brain that might cause your headaches. Skull X-rays won’t help. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is also unnecessary unless you’ve passed out when you had a headach...
In a spinal tap, also called a lumbar puncture, a doctor removes some of that fluid and sends it to a lab for testing. The test can help doctors diagnose disorders that may involve the brain, spinal cord, or their coverings (meninges). If you have headaches or migraines, your doctor ...
Electroencephalograms (EEG) Genetic or metabolic testing Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans Parents can begin managing their child’s condition and start any necessary treatment once a diagnosis is made. Risk factors of cerebral palsy There is no way to prevent a child from developing CP. That...
Home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) addresses some drawbacks but lacks electroencephalography (EEG) and sleep stage assessment [8]. Both PSG and HSAT lack the versatility to act as an on-demand diagnostic screening tool in hospitals for pre-sedation assessment, as is often desired to ensure the...
Patients and families often underreport symptoms, families attribute symptoms to normal aging and compensate for functional impairment, and social skills are maintained, masking any impairment during a short, focused office visit. Even when cognitive testing is performed, individuals with ...
Used singly or in combination, varying tests can provide diagnostic information, including neuropsychological testing or neurophysiological testing. While there is no gold standard for the diagnosis, MHE remains an important entity for clinicians to recognize because of its negative impact on a patient'...
Statistical significance was assessed using non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, with false discovery rate (FDR) correction applied for multiple hypothesis testing. Pattern recognition involved principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) using SI...
