Machine Learning Confirms Nonlinear Relationship between Severity of Peripheral Arterial Disease, Functional Limitation and Symptom Severity

Relationship of Inflammatory Biomarkers with Severity of Peripheral Arterial Disease

Objective. The pentraxin family, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum amyloid P (SAP), and pentraxin 3 (PTX3), has been identified as playing a key role in inflammatory reactions such as in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we examined the relationship between peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and serum levels of pentraxins. Methods. This study ...

Accurate telemonitoring of Parkinson’s disease symptom severity using nonlinear speech signal processing and statistical machine learning

Relationship Between the Plasma Concentration of C-Reactive Protein and Severity of Peripheral Arterial Disease

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the increase in plasma levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP), a non-specific reactant in the acute-phase of systemic inflammation, is associated with clinical severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). METHODS AND RESULTS This is a cross-sectional study at a referral hospital center of institutional practice in Madrid, Spain. A stratified random sampling was do...

P02.47. The relationship between CAM use and somatic symptom severity

Methods Data were collected prospectively through the PROCAIM Network, developed at UCLA. The Patient Health Questionnaire 15 (PHQ15) was used to measure 3 month change in symptom severity. All patients reported having chronic medical conditions characterized by chronic pain. Multivariate linear regression was used to evaluate: (1) The relationship between somatic symptom severity and the numbe...

Investigating the relationship between the Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) and the speech and voice severity of Parkinson disease patients

   Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) and disease speech and voice severity of Parkinson disease (PD) patients. Method. This study was a cross-sectional ones, carried out on 45 PD patients with the age range of 50 to 75 years, who were randomly selected. The Hoehn and Yahr Scale (H.Y Scale) was employed to measure the le...
