A Gene Ontology-Driven Wide and Deep Learning Architecture for Cell-Type Classification from Single-Cell RNA-seq Data

Recent advances in single-cell RNA-sequencing in order to study cells in biology, and the increasing amount of data available, led to the development of algorithms for analyzing single cells from gene expression data.

Single-Channel EEG Detection of REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder: The Influence of REM and Slow Wave Sleep

Sleep Disorders have received much attention in recent years, as they are related to the risk and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Notably, REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder (RBD) is considered an early symptom of α-synucleinopathies, with a conversion rate to Parkinson’s Disease (PD) up to 90%.

Speech Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease: Acoustic Analysis of Unvoiced Consonants in Italian Native Speakers

The study of the influence of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) on vocal signals has received much attention over the last decades. Increasing interest has been devoted to articulation and acoustic characterization of different phonemes.

An algorithm for Parkinson’s disease speech classification based on isolated words analysis

Automatic assessment of speech impairment is a cutting edge topic in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Language disorders are known to occur several years earlier than typical motor symptoms, thus speech analysis may contribute to the early diagnosis of the disease. Moreover, the remote monitoring of dysphonia could allow achieving an effective follow-up of PD clinical condition, possibly performed in the home environment.

Three-Dimensional Facial Anthropometric Analysis With and Without Landmark Labelling: Is There a Real Difference?

The actual role of landmarks labeling before three-dimensional (3D) facial acquisition is still debated. In this study, several measurements were compared among textured labeled (TL), unlabeled (NL), and untextured (NTL) 3D facial models.
