Deep neural models for extracting entities and relationships in the new RDD corpus relating disabilities and rare diseases.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: There is a huge amount of rare diseases, many of which have associated important disabilities. It is paramount to know in advance the evolution of the disease in order to limit and prevent the appearance of disabilities and ...

A novel integrated action crossing method for drug-drug interaction prediction in non-communicable diseases.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Drug-drug interaction (DDI) is one of the main causes of toxicity and treatment inefficacy. This work focuses on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the non-transmissible and long-lasting diseases since they are the leading ca...

Fetal health status prediction based on maternal clinical history using machine learning techniques.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Congenital anomalies are seen at 1-3% of the population, probabilities of which are tried to be found out primarily through double, triple and quad tests during pregnancy. Also, ultrasonographical evaluations of fetuses enha...

Fuzzy decision support systems to diagnose musculoskeletal disorders: A systematic literature review.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most important causes of disability with a high prevalence. The accurate and timely diagnosis of these disorders is often difficult. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) c...

Using machine-learning approaches to predict non-participation in a nationwide general health check-up scheme.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: In the time since the launch of a nationwide general health check-up and instruction program in Japan in 2008, interest in the formulation of an effective and efficient strategy to improve the participation rate has been growing. The aim ...

Fine-grained leukocyte classification with deep residual learning for microscopic images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Leukocyte classification and cytometry have wide applications in medical domain, previous researches usually exploit machine learning techniques to classify leukocytes automatically. However, constrained by the past developm...

Estimating the refractive index of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin using genetic algorithm - support vector regression model.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The refractive index of hemoglobin plays important role in hematology due to its strong correlation with the pathophysiology of different diseases. Measurement of the real part of the refractive index remains a challenge du...

Deep generative learning for automated EHR diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND: Computer-aided medical decision-making (CAMDM) is the method to utilize massive EMR data as both empirical and evidence support for the decision procedure of healthcare activities. Well-developed information infrastructure, such as hospit...

Small lung nodules detection based on local variance analysis and probabilistic neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In medical examinations doctors use various techniques in order to provide to the patients an accurate analysis of their actual state of health. One of the commonly used methodologies is the x-ray screening. This examination...

Detection of white matter lesion regions in MRI using SLIC0 and convolutional neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: White matter lesions are non-static brain lesions that have a prevalence rate up to 98% in the elderly population. Because they may be associated with several brain diseases, it is important that they are detected as soon as...
