Pattern and predictors of urine protein excretion among patients with type 2 diabetes attending a single tertiary hospital in Lagos, Nigeria.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Testing for proteinuria is used to screen for diabetic nephropathy. However, significant proportion of diabetics has normal urine protein excretion despite impaired renal function. We aimed to determine the factors predicting increased urine protein ...

Visualizing patient journals by combining vital signs monitoring and natural language processing.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a data-driven approach to graphically presenting text-based patient journals while still maintaining all textual information. The system first creates a timeline representation of a patients' physiological condition during an admi...

Risk prediction for cardiovascular disease using ECG data in the China kadoorie biobank.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We set out to use machine learning techniques to analyse ECG data to improve risk evaluation of cardiovascular disease in a very large cohort study of the Chinese population. We performed this investigation by (i) detecting "abnormality" using 3 one-...

Cardiovascular Dysautonomias Diagnosis Using Crisp and Fuzzy Decision Tree: A Comparative Study.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Decision trees (DTs) are one of the most popular techniques for learning classification systems, especially when it comes to learning from discrete examples. In real world, many data occurred in a fuzzy form. Hence a DT must be able to deal with such...

Benefits of Allopurinol Treatment on Blood Pressure and Renal Function in Patients with Early Stage of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet
BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia has been associated with increased risk of endothelial dysfunction, cardiovascular, and renal disease. Allopurinol is a potent xanthine oxidase inhibitor used in hyperuricemic patients. It has been shown to decrease cardiova...

Robotic tilt table reduces the occurrence of orthostatic hypotension over time in vegetative states.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of verticalization with or without combined movement of the lower limbs in patients in a vegetative state or a minimally conscious state. In particular, we aimed to study whether, in the group with com...

Exploitation of Medical Crisp Database for Fuzzy Diagnostic Decision Support Systems.

Studies in health technology and informatics
There are several types of Diagnostic Decision Support Systems (DDSS) but all move towards a common direction: provide assistance to the doctors/clinicians to make the right diagnosis for a specific patient, minimizing as much as possible the needed ...
