Using a multi-strain infectious disease model with physical information neural networks to study the time dependence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.
PLoS computational biology
Feb 14, 2025
With the ongoing evolution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its increasing adaptation to humans, several variants of concern (VOCs) and variants of interest (VOIs) have been identified since late 2020. These include...
Classifying Tumor Reportability Status From Unstructured Electronic Pathology Reports Using Language Models in a Population-Based Cancer Registry Setting.
JCO clinical cancer informatics
Nov 19, 2024
PURPOSE: Population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) collect data on all new cancer diagnoses in a defined population. Data are sourced from pathology reports, and the PBCRs rely on manual and rule-based solutions. This study presents a state-of-the-a...

Beyond Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle - staff perceptions on facilitators and barriers to the implementation of telepresence robots in long-term care.
BMC health services research
Jul 19, 2023
BACKGROUND: Quality improvement (QI) programs with technology implementations have been introduced to long-term care (LTC) to improve residents' quality of life. Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is commonly adopted in QI projects. There should be an ap...
Ontology and values anchor indigenous and grey nomenclatures: a case study in lichen naming practices among the Samí, Sherpa, Scots, and Okanagan.
Studies in history and philosophy of biological and biomedical sciences
Sep 10, 2020
Ethnobotanical research provides ample justification for comparing diverse biological nomenclatures and exploring ways that retain alternative naming practices. However, how (and whether) comparison of nomenclatures is possible remains a subject of d...
Artificial Intelligence Algorithms to Assess Hormonal Status From Tissue Microarrays in Patients With Breast Cancer.
JAMA network open
Jul 3, 2019
IMPORTANCE: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the most widely used assay for identification of molecular biomarkers. However, IHC is time consuming and costly, depends on tissue-handling protocols, and relies on pathologists' subjective interpretation. I...
Correlating Quantitative Fecal Immunochemical Test Results with Neoplastic Findings on Colonoscopy in a Population-Based Colorectal Cancer Screening Program: A Prospective Study.
Canadian journal of gastroenterology & hepatology
Dec 26, 2016
. The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) recommends a fecal immunochemical test- (FIT-) positive predictive value (PPV) for all adenomas of ≥50%. We sought to assess FIT performance among average-risk participants of the British Columbia Colo...

Purpose To test a commercial artificial intelligence (AI) system for breast cancer detection at the BC Cancer Breast Screening Program. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study of 136 700 female individuals (mean age, 58.8 years ± 9.4 [SD]; ...
Realizing the Potential of Robotics for Aged Care Through Co-Creation.
Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
Jan 1, 2020
Socially assistive robots have the potential to improve aged care by providing assistance through social interaction. While some evidence suggests a positive impact of social robots on measures of well-being, the adoption of robotic technology remain...
An ontology for healthcare quality indicators: challenges for semantic interoperability.
Studies in health technology and informatics
Jan 1, 2015
Semantic interoperability, a popular research area for electronic health records, can also be a challenge for quality indicators. We analysed attributes and relationships in a diverse set of over 200 healthcare quality indicators and created a search...
