Using machine learning to evaluate treatment effects in multiple-group interrupted time series analysis.

Journal of evaluation in clinical practice
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES: Interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) is a popular evaluation methodology in which a single treatment unit's outcome is studied over time, and the intervention is expected to "interrupt" the level and/or trend of th...

Modeling when and where a secondary accident occurs.

Accident; analysis and prevention
The occurrence of secondary accidents leads to traffic congestion and road safety issues. Secondary accident prevention has become a major consideration in traffic incident management. This paper investigates the location and time of a potential seco...

Relationship of femoral artery ultrasound measures of atherosclerosis with chronic kidney disease.

Journal of vascular surgery
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Detection of subclinical PAD may allow early interventions for or prevention of PAD in persons with CKD. Whether the presence of atherosclerotic pla...

Critical dynamics in population vaccinating behavior.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Vaccine refusal can lead to renewed outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases and even delay global eradication. Vaccinating decisions exemplify a complex, coupled system where vaccinating behavior and disease dynamics influence one another. Such s...

Examining accident reports involving autonomous vehicles in California.

PloS one
Autonomous Vehicle technology is quickly expanding its market and has found in Silicon Valley, California, a strong foothold for preliminary testing on public roads. In an effort to promote safety and transparency to consumers, the California Departm...

First-in-human robotic percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main stenosis.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
The safety and feasibility of robotically-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for simple coronary lesions has been demonstrated. The CorPath robotic system (Corpath 200, Corindus, Waltham, MA) consists of a robotic arm mounted on the ca...

Risk factor detection for heart disease by applying text analytics in electronic medical records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
In the United States, about 600,000 people die of heart disease every year. The annual cost of care services, medications, and lost productivity reportedly exceeds 108.9 billion dollars. Effective disease risk assessment is critical to prevention, ca...

Assessing risk of groundwater pollution exposure from sea level rise in California.

The Science of the total environment
Sea level rise (SLR) will cause a groundwater table rise in coastal aquifers, and this can trigger exposure to toxic chemicals via direct contact with contaminated water or through vapor intrusion. This study presents deep learning- and explainable a...
