Long-term follow-up study of 268 diabetic patients undergoing haemodialysis, with special attention to visual acuity and heterogeneity

We studied the long-term outcome of 268 patients suffering fromdiabetic end-stage renal disease (DM-ESRD) treated with long-termhaemodialysis between 1978 and 1991, with special emphasis onvisual acuity as well as the heterogeneity of DM-ESRD The 50%patient survival on haemodialysis was 60 months. Visual disturbanceswere found in 73.1% (392/536) of eyes at the start of haemodialysis.Chronological assess ment of visual acuity demonstrated thestabilization of visual acuity and 87.1% (364/418) of eyes werestable, 4.8% (20/418) were improved, and 8.1% (34/418) wereaggravated in the long term respectively. The change of visualacuity was frequently seen in the short term, and rapid shiftsof body fluid to correct overhydration induced abrupt changesof glycaemic control as well as retraction of macular oedema.Hence it might be one of the factors affecting rapid changeof visual acuity in the short term. Meanwhile, long-term deterioration of visual acuity resulted from either hyperten sionunresponsive to medical treatment or poor glycaemic control.Some DM-ESRD patients had only background retinopathy at thestart of haemodialysis and these were likely to have the nephroscleroticglomerular lesion. They were old, not nephrotic and had a milddegree of diabetes during the predialysis stage. Thus, DM-ESRDpatients seem to have some heterogeneity in their clinical characteristics,and old DM-ESRD patients with only background retinopathy havethe appearance of diabetic macroangiopathy rather than microangiopathy.

Procedure for the quantitative evaluation of motor disturbances in cerebellar ataxic patients

Cerebellar ataxia is a complex motor disturbance that involves the planning and execution of movements and reduces movement accuracy and co-ordination. The quantification of ataxic signs is commonly realised through visual examination of motor tasks performed by the patient and assignment of scores to specific items composing the international co-operative ataxia rating scale (ICARS). The present work studied an experimental procedure to characterise specific aspects of motor disturbances in ataxia objectively. Four tests belonging to the ICARS were considered: walking, knee-tibia test, finger-to-nose and finger-to-finger test. Through a kinematic analysis performed during the above tests, specific indices were defined to quantify velocity, linearity, asymmetry, tremor, instability and smoothness of movement or posture. The procedure was applied to five patients with cerebellar ataxia and to ten healthy adult subjects. Results demonstrated that the patients moved significantly more slowly than the healthy subjects (0.67 against 0.97 m s⁻¹ and 0.81 against 1.02 m s⁻¹, respectively, for straight walk and finger-to-nose tests) and showed poorer linearity and smoothness behaviour. Velocity, linearity, tremor, smoothness and instability indices showed moderate to good correlation with the corresponding ICARS score. Some of these indices can separately evaluate aspects that are combined in single ICARS subscores. It is concluded that the combination of clinical assessments and instrumental evaluations allows a better insight into ataxic patients' motor disturbances and is a useful tool for the definition and follow-up of rehabilitation programmes.     

基于脑-机接口技术的虚拟现实康复训练平台

对神经损伤的瘫痪病人进行功能恢复训练时应强调患者的主动参与。开发了一套基于脑-机接口技术的虚拟现实康复训练平台。该平台采用患者在想象运动时的脑电信号作为虚拟人运动的控制信号,从而把想象运动与运动功能恢复训练结合在一起。由于虚拟现实系统的实时性与沉浸感能给受试者提供较好的训练反馈信息,因此,使用本平台有望改善患者的训练效果。详细介绍了快速在线脑-机接口算法以及虚拟现实的实时交互技术,并提供了三名受试者的实测结果。初步实验证明了该平台设计的可行性。

面向残疾人的汉语可视语音数据库

将人机交互领域中研究的唇读技术应用于康复工程之中,设计了一个基于视觉语言的语音合成系统。该系统特别针对后天致残,丧失语音能力的人设计,采用了一种特定条件下的汉语可视语音数据库。不同于现有的数据库,该数据库的设计具有以下特点：采用了非对称唇形轮廓模型,提取了嘴唇突出度的信息;针对汉语音节的特点,增强了汉字音节中信息变化过程;兼顾未来唇读技术的发展,以音节为基本元素,具有可扩充性。采用运动检测和数学形态学的办法提取唇动图像序列中的唇形区域,并从中提取非对称唇形轮廓模型特征参数,同时通过计算部分参数对时间的差分,来获得唇形轮廓的动态信息。基于隐马尔可夫模型的学习和识别实验表明,该数据库的设计方法合理,所选的唇动特征用能够将识别效果平均提高25%。

为了研究正常人行走过程中骨盆在垂直方向的运动特征,提出了一种以测量数据为基础建立骨盆运动参数数学模型的新思想。介绍了基于跑步机的骨盆运动轨迹测量系统,并对30名健康男性青年进行了获取骨盆运动参数的实验研究。实验结果得到了不同受试者分别以不同速度行走时的骨盆在垂直方向的多组运动轨迹,以及运动幅值、周期、初始相位等与行走速度和受试者身高的关系曲线。通过对曲线拟合,建立了各参数及骨盆运动轨迹的数学模型。通过对该模型进一步完善,可使其对康复评定、类人机器人等领域具有一定的应用价值。     

Pain, Anxiety, and Cooperativeness in Children with Cerebral Palsy After Rhizotomy: Changes Throughout Rehabilitation

Assessed pain, anxiety, physical functioning, and cooperativenessin 32 childrenn with spastic cerebral palsy. This is the firststudy to assess children throughout rehabilitation followingselective posterior rhizotomy. Results of the ObservationalScale of Behavioral Distress and observer Likert ratings confirmedthe hypothesis that children's pain and anxiety decrease overtime. Children's physical functioning and cooperativeness improveover time. No significant correlation was found between painand changes in physical functioning. Cognitive impairment, parentalinvolvement, and children's pain behaviors explained 77% and56% of the variance in two forms of cooperativeness. Researchand clinical implications are discussed, and special considerationsregarding pain assessment and management in this populationare addressed
