Prognosis of osteoarthritis.

Prognosis of osteoarthritis.

The course and prognosis of osteoarthritis have been the subject of several recent reviews.`' In addition, potential limitations of clinical and epidemiological studies designed to assess the course and prognosis of osteoarthritis have been identified and discussed.4 In this article I shall cover the "natural" history of osteoarthritis by joint group affected, and factors associated with variat...

Diagnosis and prognosis of osteoarthritis by texture analysis using sparse linear models

We present a texture analysis methodology that combines uncommitted machine-learning techniques and sparse feature transformation methods in a fully automatic framework. We compare the performances of a partial least squares (PLS) forward feature selection strategy to a hard threshold sparse PLS algorithm and a sparse linear discriminant model. The texture analysis framework was applied to diag...

The prognosis of lupus nephritis in children

Introduction: Lupus nephritis is a systemic disease which affects different organs. The present study was designed to review lupus nephritis, in children its outcome and the related factors. Methods: We reviewed 48 children with lupus nephritis. Clinical and epidemiological features were studied. The patients’ outcomes and related factors were analyzed. Patient and renal survival rate were ca...

Decentralized prognosis of fuzzy discrete-event systems

This paper gives a decentralized approach to the problem of failure prognosis in the framework of fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). A notion of co-predictability is formalized for decentralized prognosis of FDESs, where several local agents with fuzzy observability rather than crisp observability are used in the prognosis task. An FDES is said to be co-predictable if each faulty event can be...
