BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Spine surgery has been identified as a risk factor for prolonged postoperative opioid use. Preoperative prediction of opioid use could improve risk stratification, shared decision-making, and patient counseling before surgery.
Salivary miRNA can be easily accessible biomarkers of alcohol dependence (AD). The miRNA transcriptome in the saliva of 56 African-Americans (AAs; 28 AD patients/28 controls) and 64 European-Americans (EAs; 32 AD patients/32 controls) was profiled ...
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous disease of malignant plasma cells. Diagnosis and monitoring of MM patients is based on bone marrow biopsies and detection of abnormal immunoglobulin in serum and/or urine. However, biopsies have a singl...
The ubiquity of smartphones opened up the possibility of widespread use of the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). The method is used to collect longitudinal data of participants' daily life experiences and is ideal to capture fluctuations in emotions ...

The etiology of cerebral palsy (CP) is complex and remains inadequately understood. Early detection of CP is an important clinical objective as this improves long term outcomes. We performed genome-wide DNA methylation analysis to identify epigenomic...
As vehicles with automated functions become more prevalent on U.S. roadways, maintaining driver attention while the vehicle is engaged in automation will be an important consideration for safe operation of these vehicles. The objective of this paper ...
AIMS: Red blood cell (RBC) lysis resistance interferes with white blood cell (WBC) count and differential; still, its detection relies on the identification of an abnormal scattergram, and this is not clearly adverted by specific flags in the Beckman...
PURPOSE: To automatically detect and isolate areas of low and high stiffness temporal stability in shear wave elastography (SWE) image sequences and define their impact in chronic liver disease (CLD) diagnosis improvement by means of clinical examina...
This work reports a multilead interval measurement algorithm for a high-resolution digital electrocardiograph. The software enables off-line ECG processing including detection as well as an accurate multilead interval detection algorithm using sup...
