Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize the way in which medicine is practiced and thereby transform how healthcare is delivered. While in its nascence in terms of medical applications, it is imperative that the healthcare community p...
IMPORTANCE: Despite advances in the assessment of technical skills in surgery, a clear understanding of the composites of technical expertise is lacking. Surgical simulation allows for the quantitation of psychomotor skills, generating data sets that...
We paired existing land use regression (LUR) models for ambient ultrafine particles in Montreal and Toronto, Canada with satellite images and deep convolutional neural networks as a means of extending the spatial coverage of these models. Our finding...
