Multimodal Mixing Convolutional Neural Network And Transformer For Alzheimer’S Disease Recognition, Junde Chen, Yun Wang, Adnan Zeb, M. D. Suzauddola, Yuxin Wen

Engineering Faculty Articles and Research

Early recognition of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its precursor state, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), is pivotal in interrupting the progression of the disease and providing suitable treatment. Recent development in deep learning techniques has drawn great research attention for improving the efficacy of AD recognition. However, numerous current methods solely utilize data from a single auxiliary domain, limiting their ability to harness valuable intrinsic insights from multiple domains. To cope with the challenge, this paper is devoted to establishing an innovative multimodal medical data fusion model, termed as MMDF, to perform Alzheimer’s disease recognition. Multimodal data including clinical records and …

Self-Harm In Female Youth With Undiagnosed Adhd: Implementing American Academy Of Pediatrics Screening Guidelines, Roselie M. Woodard

Dissertations

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. If undiagnosed or untreated, ADHD can lead to severe psychosocial issues such as academic failure, substance abuse, unplanned pregnancy, and incarceration. The financial burden in the U.S. from diagnostic errors creates an immense, rising fiscal impact. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent these complications.

Females with ADHD, particularly those with the inattentive subtype, often face diagnostic challenges due to symptom masking and over-compensation. This results in poorer cognitive functioning and self-esteem compared to males with ADHD. ADHD is linked to autonomic nervous …

Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Papers

BACKGROUND: The lack of regular physical activity (PA) in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in the United States is an ongoing health crisis. Regular PA and exercise-based interventions have been linked with improved outcomes and healthier lifestyles among those with SCI. Providing people with an accurate estimate of their everyday PA level can promote PA. Furthermore, PA tracking can be combined with mobile health technology such as smartphones and smartwatches to provide a just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) for individuals with SCI as they go about everyday life. A JITAI can prompt an individual to set a PA goal or …
