Localized thin-section CT with radiomics feature extraction and machine learning to classify early-detected pulmonary nodules from lung cancer screening.

Lung cancer screening aims to detect small pulmonary nodules and decrease the mortality rate of those affected. However, studies from large-scale clinical trials of lung cancer screening have shown that the false-positive rate is high and positive predictive value is low. To address these problems, a technical approach is greatly needed for accurate malignancy differentiation among these early-det...

Technology-assisted title and abstract screening for systematic reviews: a retrospective evaluation of the Abstrackr machine learning tool.

BACKGROUND: Machine learning tools can expedite systematic review (SR) processes by semi-automating citation screening. Abstrackr semi-automates citation screening by predicting relevant records. We evaluated its performance for four screening projects.

Kidney Detection in 3-D Ultrasound Imagery via Shape-to-Volume Registration Based on Spatially Aligned Neural Network.

This paper introduces a computer-aided kidney shape detection method suitable for volumetric (3D) ultrasound images. Using shape and texture priors, t...

Delirium Prediction using Machine Learning Models on Preoperative Electronic Health Records Data.

Electronic Health Records (EHR) are mainly designed to record relevant patient information during their stay in the hospital for administrative purpos...

Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH) Associated with Mediastinal Schwannoma.

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is the most common cause of euvolemic hypo-osmotic hyponatremia. There are several et...

Differential effects of childhood neglect and abuse during sensitive exposure periods on male and female hippocampus.

The hippocampus is a highly stress susceptible structure and hippocampal abnormalities have been reported in a host of psychiatric disorders including...

Depression and alcohol use disorder at antiretroviral therapy initiation led to disengagement from care in South Africa.

We sought to assess mental health at the time of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and subsequent retention in care over a six-month follow-up p...

Label-free screening of foodborne Salmonella using surface plasmon resonance imaging.

It is estimated that 95% of the foodborne infections are caused by 15 major pathogens. Therefore, rapid and effective multiplex screening techniques f...

OBJECTIVES: To study the content variation of selegiline and its metabolites in urine, and based on actual cases, to explore the feasibility for the i...

Bayesian averaging over Decision Tree models for trauma severity scoring.

Health care practitioners analyse possible risks of misleading decisions and need to estimate and quantify uncertainty in predictions. We have examine...

Detection of American Football Head Impacts Using Biomechanical Features and Support Vector Machine Classification.

Accumulation of head impacts may contribute to acute and long-term brain trauma. Wearable sensors can measure impact exposure, yet current sensors do ...

Communication with Orthopedic Trauma Patients via an Automated Mobile Phone Messaging Robot.

BACKGROUND: Communication with orthopedic trauma patients is traditionally problematic with low response rates (RRs). The purpose of this investigatio...

Therapeutic hypothermia in patients with coagulopathy following severe traumatic brain injury.

BACKGROUND: Coagulopathy in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been associated with poor neurological outcomes and higher in-hospital mortality. In gene...

Lateral flow immunoassay and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay as effective immunomethods for the detection of synthetic cannabinoid JWH-200 based on the newly synthesized hapten.

In recent years, the use of synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) as drugs of abuse has greatly increased. SCs are associated with a risk of severe poisoning o...
