Characterization of clinical patterns of dengue patients using an unsupervised machine learning approach.

BMC infectious diseases
BACKGROUND: Despite the greater sensitivity of the new dengue clinical classification proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2009, there is a need for a better definition of warning signs and clinical progression of dengue cases. Classic ...

Modelling the influence of environmental parameters over marine planktonic microbial communities using artificial neural networks.

The Science of the total environment
Guanabara Bay is a tropical estuarine ecosystem that receives massive anthropogenic impacts from the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. This ecosystem suffers from an ongoing eutrophication process that has been shown to promote the emergence of ...

Severe Dengue Prognosis Using Human Genome Data and Machine Learning.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
UNLABELLED: Dengue has become one of the most important worldwide arthropod-borne diseases. Dengue phenotypes are based on laboratorial and clinical exams, which are known to be inaccurate.

Performance of machine-learning algorithms to pattern recognition and classification of hearing impairment in Brazilian farmers exposed to pesticide and/or cigarette smoke.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The use of pesticides has been increasing in agriculture, leading to a public health problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate ototoxic effects in farmers who were exposed to cigarette smoke and/or pesticides and to identify possible classificat...

Supplementation with long-acting progesterone in early diestrus in beef cattle: I. effect of artificial insemination on onset of luteolysis.

Domestic animal endocrinology
Progesterone (P4) supplementation in early diestrus advances changes in the endometrial transcriptome, stimulating embryonic development. However, it also induces early onset of luteolysis. Occurrence of luteolysis before D16 postmating can be detrim...

Soybean inoculants in Brazil: an overview of quality control.

Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology]
The bacterial strains SEMIA 587 and 5019 (Bradyrhizobium elkanii), 5079 (Bradyrhizobium japonicum), and 5080 (Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens) are recommended for soybean inoculants in Brazil. In several countries, the current regulations are insuffici...

Forecasting the spatiotemporal variability of soil CO emissions in sugarcane areas in southeastern Brazil using artificial neural networks.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Carbon dioxide (CO) is considered one of the main greenhouse effect gases and contributes significantly to global climate change. In Brazil, the agricultural areas offer an opportunity to mitigate this effect, especially with the sugarcane crop, sinc...

Modeling of stem form and volume through machine learning.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
Taper functions and volume equations are essential for estimation of the individual volume, which have consolidated theory. On the other hand, mathematical innovation is dynamic, and may improve the forestry modeling. The objective was analyzing the ...

Guava flavored whey-beverage processed by cold plasma: Physical characteristics, thermal behavior and microstructure.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The present study aimed to compare the physicochemical (pH), physical (rheology parameters and particle size), microstructure (optical microscopy) and thermal properties (differential scanning calorimetry) of guava flavored whey-beverages submitted t...

Organization of the cancer network in SUS: evolution of the care model.

Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
In the current context of epidemiological transition, demographic changes, changes in consumption and lifestyle habits, and pressure on care costs and organized health systems for acute conditions, the Integrated Care Model by Shortell has become a c...
