As the elderly population increases globally, demand for systems and algorithms that target is increasing. Focusing on extendibility of smart mirrors, our purpose to create a motion detection system based video input by an attached device (an RGB camera). The presented in this paper algorithm returns Boolean value indicating skeletal information. We analyzed problems occur when adjacent frame s...

The purpose of the present study was to create a regression equation for measuring stature using measurements obtained from long bone radiographs adult individuals in Anatolian population. In this study, maximum length six bones upper and lower limbs 167 healthy were determined radiographic images. Single multiple equations created predict stature. From these equations, standard error estimate ...

Human pose estimation has drawn extensive attention recently and there been significant progress on it due to the rising popularity of convolutional neural networks (CNN). However, existing state-of-the-art approaches suffer from occlusion, complicated backgrounds, substantial position fluctuations because disregarding human body form. parsing is a very pertinent activity that can provide cruci...

Skeletal age assessment is one of the important applications of hand radiography in the area of pediatric radiology. Feature analysis of the carpal-bones can reveal the important information for skeletal age assessment. The present work in this paper faces the problem of the detection of carpal -bone features from X-ray image. A novel and effective segmentation technique is presented in this wo...

Assessing skeletal age is a subjective and tedious examination process. Hence, automated assessment methods have been developed to replace manual evaluation in medical applications. In this study, a new fully automated method based on content-based image retrieval and using extreme learning machines (ELM) is designed and adapted to assess skeletal maturity. The main novelty of this approach is ...

Mitochondrial function in saponin-permeabilized muscle fibres can be studied by high-resolution respirometry, laser-excited fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy. We applied these techniques to study metabolic effects of changes in the pattern of mitochondrial enzymes in skeletal muscle of patients with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia or Kearns-Sayre syndrome harbou...

Body mass is a fundamental physical property of an individual and has enormous bearing upon ecology and physiology. Generating reliable estimates for body mass is therefore a necessary step in many palaeontological studies. Whilst early reconstructions of mass in extinct species relied upon isolated skeletal elements, volumetric techniques are increasingly applied to fossils when skeletal compl...

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked condition characterized by altered cardiolipin metabolism and cardioskeletal myopathy. We sought to compare cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with BTHS and unaffected controls and examine their relationships with cardiac function and exercise capacity. Children/adolescents and young adults with BTHS (n = 20)...

This study aimed to determine the correlation between the volumetric parameters derived from the images of the second, third, and fourth cervical vertebrae by using cone beam computed tomography with skeletal maturation stages and to propose a new formula for predicting skeletal maturation by using regression analysis. We obtained the estimation of skeletal maturation levels from hand-wrist rad...

BACKGROUND Age estimation of individuals is important in human biology and has various medical and forensic applications. Recent interest in MR-based methods aims to investigate alternatives for established methods involving ionising radiation. Automatic, software-based methods additionally promise improved estimation objectivity. AIM To investigate how informative automatically selected imag...
