Cancer related fatigue is a chronic disease that may persist up to 10 years after treatment of cancer has been finished successfully and is one of the most prevalent problems of cancer survivors. Cancer related fatigue is a complex symptom that is not sufficiently understood and difficult to remedy. Patients do not necessarily follow a treatment plan with regular in-office follow-ups. As a consequence,...
Adverse effects, such as voice change and fatigue, are prevalent in cancer treatment duration. These adverse effects have been significant burden for patients physically and emotionally. Predicting multiple adverse effects becomes important for patients and oncologists. In this paper, we formulate the prediction of multiple adverse effects in cancer treatment as a longitudinal multiple-output regression...
From eliminating the side effects of chemotherapy to treating Alzheimer's disease, the potential medical applications of nanorobots are vast and ambitious. In the past decade, researchers have made many improvements on the different systems required for developing practical nanorobots, such as sensors, energy supply, and data transmission. A few generations from now someone diagnosed with cancer will...
The goal of the research presented is to create a computational framework and system architecture for clinical decision support in palliative care. The application focused is the classification of depression. The method under investigation is case-based reasoning, motivated by the complexity of the domain and a lack of generalized principles of sufficient coverage and strength for diagnosis and treatment...
In recent years, there has been increasing public concern about the health implication of Electromagnetic (EM) wave exposures due to the mobile phone. For this reason, various public organizations in the world have been established safety guidelines. This paper focused on the investigation or study of human health effect that cause by the used of 900 MHz and 1800 MHz mobile phones. For the purpose...
One of the most common symptoms in cancer patients is fatigue that is often associated with appetite loss and sleep disruption. Quality of life indices and objective measures of these symptoms are now possible and continue to improve our understanding of how these symptoms are caused. Disruption of 24 hour rest/activity patterns measured by actigraphy is one example where there is overlap of the objective...

This paper presents a novel method for early detection of fatigue crack anomaly in complex mechanical structures, which is built upon the concepts of symbolic dynamics and finite state machines. The experimental apparatus, on which the crack detection method is tested, is a multi-degree of freedom mass-beam structure excited by oscillatory motion of two vibrators. The evolution of fatigue crack at...
