Phenotypes of sickle cell intensive care admissions: an unsupervised machine learning approach in a single-center retrospective cohort.

Annals of hematology
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with multiple known complications and increased mortality. This study aims to further understand the profile of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions of SCD patients. In this single-center retrospective cohort (...

Combined artificial intelligence and radiologist model for predicting rectal cancer treatment response from magnetic resonance imaging: an external validation study.

Abdominal radiology (New York)
PURPOSE: To evaluate an MRI-based radiomic texture classifier alone and combined with radiologist qualitative assessment in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) using restaging MRI with internal training and external validation.

Automated multilabel diagnosis on electrocardiographic images and signals.

Nature communications
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) for automated diagnosis of electrocardiograms (ECGs) can improve care in remote settings but is limited by the reliance on infrequently available signal-based data. We report the development of a multil...

A proficient approach to forecast COVID-19 spread via optimized dynamic machine learning models.

Scientific reports
This study aims to develop an assumption-free data-driven model to accurately forecast COVID-19 spread. Towards this end, we firstly employed Bayesian optimization to tune the Gaussian process regression (GPR) hyperparameters to develop an efficient ...

Early identification of older individuals at risk of mobility decline with machine learning.

Archives of gerontology and geriatrics
BACKGROUND: The early identification of individuals at risk of mobility decline can improve targeted strategies of prevention.

Application of the QFD-fuzzy-SERVQUAL methodology as a quality planning tool at the surgical centre of a public teaching hospital.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: In Brazil, many public hospitals face constant problems related to high demand vis-à-vis an overall scarcity of resources, which hinders the operations of different sectors such as the surgical centre, as it is considered one of the most ...

Left ventricular systolic dysfunction predicted by artificial intelligence using the electrocardiogram in Chagas disease patients-The SaMi-Trop cohort.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in Chagas disease (ChD) is relatively common and its treatment using low-cost drugs can improve symptoms and reduce mortality. Recently, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled ECG algorithm sh...

Uterine Transplantation with Robot-assisted Uterus Retrieval from Living Donor: First Case in Brazil.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
OBJECTIVE: To present the first robot-assisted uterus retrieval from a living donor for uterine transplantation in Brazil.

Artificial Inteligence-Based Decision for the Prediction of Cardioembolism in Patients with Chagas Disease and Ischemic Stroke.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease (CD) and ischemic stroke (IS) have a close, but poorly understood, association. There is paucity of evidence on the ideal secondary prophylaxis and etiological determination, with few cardioembolic patients being identified...

Comparing COVID-19 risk factors in Brazil using machine learning: the importance of socioeconomic, demographic and structural factors.

Scientific reports
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a devastating impact on Brazil. Brazil's social, health and economic crises are aggravated by strong societal inequities and persisting political disarray. This complex scenario motivates careful study of the c...
