چکیده
Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in whom symptoms start before the age of 45 years (EOPD) present different clinical characteristics from those with the late-onset form of the disease. The incidence of depression is believed to be greater in patients with EOPD than with the late-onset form of the disease, although there is no risk factor or marker for depression in patients with PD. We studied 45 patients with EOPD to define the frequency of depression and to identify possible differences between the groups with and without depression. Depression was diagnosed in 16 (35.5%) of the patients, a higher incidence than in the population at large but similar to the figure for late-onset Parkinson disease; 8 (50%) of the patients had mild depression, 4 (25%) moderate depression and 4 (25%) were in remission. There was no relationship between depression and any of the clinical characteristics of the disease, although the EOPD patients with depression presented earlier levodopa-related complications and were more affected on the Hoehn-Yahr, UPDRS and Schwab-England scales.

Intelligent control of aircraft dynamic systems with a new hybrid neuro-fuzzy-fractal approach
We describe in this chapter a hybrid method for adaptive model-based control of nonlinear dynamic systems using Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic, and Fractal Theory. The new neuro-fuzzy-fractal method combines Soft Computing (SC) techniques with the concept of the fractal dimension for the domain of Nonlinear Dynamic System Control. The new method for adaptive model-based control has been implement...
متن کاملFuzzy data analysis with NEFCLASS
Fuzzy data analysis as we interpret it in this paper is the application of fuzzy systems to the analysis of crisp data. In this area, neuro-fuzzy systems play a very prominent role and are applied to a variety of data analysis problems like classification, function approximation or time series prediction. Fuzzy data analysis in general and neuro-fuzzy methods in particular make it easy to strik...

متن کاملNeuro-fuzzy approach to processing inputs with missing values in pattern recognition problems
An approach to dealing with missing data, both during the design and normal operation of a neuro-fuzzy classifier is presented in this paper. Missing values are processed within a general fuzzy min–max neural network architecture utilising hyperbox fuzzy sets as input data cluster prototypes. An emphasis is put on ways of quantifying the uncertainty which missing data might have caused. This ta...
متن کاملOptimization of TQFP molding process using neuro-fuzzy-GA approach
This paper focuses on an integrated optimization problem that involves multiple qualitative and quantitative responses in the thin quad flat pack (TQFP) molding process. A fuzzy quality loss function (FQLF) is first applied to the qualitative responses, since the molding defects cannot be simply represented by the relationship between molding conditions and mathematical models. Neural network i...
