Accurate instance segmentation of teeth in panoramic dental X-rays is a challenging task due to variations in tooth morphology and overlapping regions. In this study, we propose a new algorithm, for instance, segmentation of the different teeth in panoramic dental X-rays.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most widespread neurodegenerative diseases worldwide, affected by a number of alterations, among which speech impairments that, interestingly, manifests up to 10 years before other major evidences (e.g. motor impairments).
The preliminary diagnosis and evaluation of the presence and/or severity of Parkinson’s disease is crucial in controlling the progress of the disease.
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is one of the most common non-curable neurodegenerative diseases. Diagnosis is achieved clinically on the basis of different symptoms with considerable delays from the onset of neurodegenerative processes in the central nervous system.
Treatment of freezing of gait (FoG) and other Parkinson disease (PD) axial symptoms is challenging. Systematic assessments of axial symptoms at progressively increasing levodopa doses are lacking. We sought to analyze the resistance to high levodopa doses of FoG, posture, speech, and altered gait features presenting in daily-ON therapeutic condition.
Automatic assessment of speech disorders is a cutting-edge topic in vocal analysis. Recent studies indicated possible connections between eating disorders and voice alterations.
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%.
Voice is a reservoir of valuable health data. Recent studies highlighted its efficacy in predicting sleep quality, and its potential as biomarker of neurodegeneration.
This work describes an approach to estimate the percentage of COVID-19-specific infection in lung tissue.
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.
