    Virtual Nursing Using Deep Belief Networks for Elderly People (DBN-EP)

    S. Rajasekaran1,*, G. Kousalya2

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.42, No.3, pp. 985-1000, 2022, DOI:10.32604/csse.2022.022234

    Abstract The demand for better health services has resulted in the advancement of remote monitoring health, i.e., virtual nursing systems, to watch and support the elderly with innovative concepts such as being patient-centric, easier to use, and having smarter interactions and more accurate conclusions. While virtual nursing services attempt to provide consumers and medical practitioners with continuous medical and health monitoring services, access to allied healthcare experts such as nurses remains a challenge. In this research, we present Virtual Nursing Using Deep Belief Networks for Elderly People (DBN-EP), a new framework that provides a virtual nurse… More >

    Vision Based Real Time Monitoring System for Elderly Fall Event Detection Using Deep Learning

    G. Anitha1,*, S. Baghavathi Priya2

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.42, No.1, pp. 87-103, 2022, DOI:10.32604/csse.2022.020361

    Abstract Human fall detection plays a vital part in the design of sensor based alarming system, aid physical therapists not only to lessen after fall effect and also to save human life. Accurate and timely identification can offer quick medical services to the injured people and prevent from serious consequences. Several vision-based approaches have been developed by the placement of cameras in diverse everyday environments. At present times, deep learning (DL) models particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained much importance in the fall detection tasks. With this motivation, this paper presents a new vision based… More >

    Binocular Vision Positioning Method for Safety Monitoring of Solitary Elderly

    Lihua Zhu1, Yan Zhang1, Yu Wang1,*, Cheire Cheng2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.1, pp. 593-609, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.022053

    Abstract In nowadays society, the safety of the elderly population is becoming a pressing concern, especially for those who live alone. There might be daily risks such as accidental falling or treatment attack on them. Aiming at these problems, indoor positioning could be a critical way to monitor their states. With the rapidly development of the imaging techniques, wearable and portable cameras are very popular, which could be set on human individual. And in view of the advantages of the visual positioning, the authors propose a binocular visual positioning algorithm to real-timely locate the elderly indoor.… More >

    Evaluation of NFC-Guidable System to Manage Polypharmacy in Elderly Patients

    Khalid Alzahrani1,*, Mrim Alnfiai2

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.41, No.2, pp. 445-460, 2022, DOI:10.32604/csse.2022.020620

    Abstract A complete and thorough understanding by patients of their prescriptions is one of the most critical components of a successful treatment journey. Being unfamiliar with the intricacies of prescribed medication can cause serious health risks due to not adhering to prescription instructions or noting potential drug interactions, which can lead to life-threatening injuries. Pharmacists face communication barriers (including non-English speaking patients), lack of time, lack of knowledge, workload, and frequent interruption when dispensing medicines often preventing them from providing the necessary guidance to their patients. To minimize this risk, an NFC-Guidable polypharmacy system was developed… More >

    Unpacking the Associations between Traumatic Events and Depression among Chinese Elderly: Two Dimensions of Aging Attitudes as Mediators and Moderators

    Chaoxin Jiang*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.23, No.2, pp. 231-242, 2021, DOI:10.32604/IJMHP.2021.015253

    Abstract Traumatic events have been considered significant risk factors for older adults’ mental health, but the mediating mechanism and moderating effect of aging attitudes that underlie this relationship have yet been completely investigated. The attitudes of the elderly toward aging can be divided into two closely related but conceptually different dimensions, including positive and negative. Positive aging attitudes refer to optimistic feelings and experiences about aging, whereas negative attitudes toward aging are related to detrimental thoughts and sensations experienced about the increasing age. The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating and moderating roles More >

    Elderly Fall Detection Based on Improved SSD Algorithm

    Jiancheng Zou1, Na Zhu1,*, Bailin Ge1, Don Hong2

    Journal of New Media, Vol.3, No.1, pp. 1-10, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jnm.2021.017763

    Abstract We propose an improved a single-shot detector (SSD) algorithm to detect falls of the elderly. The VGG16 network part of the SSD network is replaced with the MobilenetV2 network. At the same time, we change the infrastructure of MobilenetV2 network, the three layers that were not downsampled at the end were removed, which can make the model structure simpler and faster to detect. The complete Intersection-over-Union (CIoU) loss function is introduced to get a good regression of the target borders that have different sizes and different proportions. We use Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) for upsampling, More >

    Stefania Nobili*, Daniele Lavacchi, Gabriele Perrone*, Giulio Vicini, Renato Tassi‡1, Ida Landini*, AnnaMaria Grosso§, Giandomenico Roviello, Roberto Mazzanti, Carmine Santomaggio¶2, Enrico Mini

    Oncology Research, Vol.28, No.3, pp. 237-248, 2020, DOI:10.3727/096504019X15755437099308

    Abstract The use of vinorelbine as a single agent or in combination regimens in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with satisfactory clinical activity. However, the role of vinorelbine-based chemotherapy in chemonaive locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC patients, according to real-world treatment patterns, has still not been widely explored. Eighty-one patients treated at a single institution were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty-seven received standard first-line single-agent vinorelbine, and 44 received vinorelbine plus platinum drugs, based on physician’s choice; 61.7% were older than 70 years, and 60.5% were affected by 2 comorbidities. Sixty-three patients were evaluable for… More >

    Effects of Ulinastatin Combined with Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Cognitive Function and Central Nerve Specific Protein Level in Elderly Colorectal Cancer Patients after Laparoscopic

    Li Bao1, Xiaowei Tian2, Jing Zhang3, Li Chen4, Kui Gao5,*

    Oncologie, Vol.22, No.3, pp. 167-178, 2020, DOI:10.32604/oncologie.2020.012495

    Abstract Ulinastatin combined with dexmedetomidine can improve postoperative cognitive function and central nerve specific protein (S-100β) level in elderly colorectal cancer (CC) patients after laparoscopic. Altogether 178 elderly patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery in our hospital from February 2018 to August 2019 were selected and divided into two groups according to the treatment methods. Those anesthetized by dexmedetomidine were regarded as the routine group (RG, 83 cases), and those anesthetized by ulinastatin and dexmedetomidine were considered as the combined group (CG, 95 cases). The operation conditions of the two groups, the pain scores (VAS)… More >
