An interpretable machine learning model to predict off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting-associated acute kidney injury.

BACKGROUND: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting-associated acute kidney injury (OPCAB-AKI) is related to 30-day perioperative mortality. Existing mathematical models cannot be applied to help clinicians make early diagnosis and intervention decisions.

Don't Fear the Artificial Intelligence: A Systematic Review of Machine Learning for Prostate Cancer Detection in Pathology.

CONTEXT: Automated prostate cancer detection using machine learning technology has led to speculation that pathologists will soon be replaced by algorithms. This review covers the development of machine learning algorithms and their reported effectiveness specific to prostate cancer detection and Gleason grading.
