Predicting fatigue-related aberrant driving behaviours in taxi drivers
Taxi drivers face elevated risks of fatigue-related aberrant driving behaviours (ADBs), exacerbated by sleep-related factors, yet predictive models incorporating these factors remain underexplored. This study employed a multi-modal approach to assess the predictive value of heart rate variability (HRV) metrics for fatigue-related ADBs and to assess the added value of integrating demographic and sleep data. A four-day naturalistic driving study in…
Prediction of posttraumatic functional recovery in middle-aged and older patients through dynamic ensemble selection modeling
Introduction: Age-specific risk factors may delay posttraumatic functional recovery; complex interactions exist between these factors. In this study, we investigated the prediction ability of machine learning models for posttraumatic (6 months) functional recovery in middle-aged and older patients on the basis of their preexisting health conditions. Methods: = 159) data sets. The input features were the sociodemographic characteristics and baseli…
Associations between air pollution, intracellular-to-extracellular water distribution, and obstructive sleep apnea manifestations
Background Exposure to air pollution may be a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because air pollution may alter body water distribution and aggravate OSA manifestations. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of air pollution on the exacerbation of OSA severity through body water distribution. Methods This retrospective study analyzed body composition and polysomnographic data collected from a sleep center in…
Adjustable Parameters and the Effectiveness of Adjunct Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Individuals with Chronic Stroke
The aims of this study were (1) to compare the effect of robot-assisted gait orthosis (RAGO) plus conventional physiotherapy with the effect of conventional therapy alone on functional outcomes, including balance, walking ability, muscle strength, daily activity, and cognition, in chronic stroke patients, and (2) to determine the association of adjustable parameters of RAGO on functional outcomes. Adjustable parameters of RAGO included guidance f…
Oxygen Consumption (VO2) and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) during Moderate-Strength Training Exercises
Oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) during strength training can be predicted through surface electromyography (sEMG) of local muscles. This research aimed to determine relations between VO 2 and sEMG of upper and lower body muscles to predict VO 2 from sEMG during moderate-intensity strength training exercises. Of the 12 participants recruited, 11 were divided into two groups: untrained ( n = 5; with no training experience) and trained ( n = 6; with 2 mo…
Asian dust storm events are associated with an acute increase in stroke hospitalisation
OBJECTIVE: Asian dust storms (ADS) are long-ranged meteorological phenomena, which are suggested to be associated with several health problems. This study aimed to investigate the risk of stroke hospitalisation following ADS events by conducting a population-based study. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: The authors identified 810 947 hospitalisations with an admission diagnosis of stroke during the time period between 2000 and 2009 in Taiwan. The ARIMA …
Lower Mortality Among Stroke Patients With Schizophrenia
OBJECTIVE: To examine 90-day mortality among schizophrenia patients who suffered a recent stroke, using population-based data and a retrospective cohort design. Increasing evidence demonstrates a higher cardiovascular risk for schizophrenia patients compared with the general population. There are no data on stroke outcomes among schizophrenia patients. METHODS: Data were derived from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database and Caus…
Effects of an irregular bedtime schedule on sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue among university students in Taiwan
The results of our study suggest a high prevalence of both an irregular bedtime schedule and insufficient sleep among university students in Taiwan. Students with an irregular bedtime schedule may experience poor sleep quality. We suggest further research that explores the mechanisms involved in an irregular bedtime schedule and the effectiveness of interventions for improving this condition
