Machine learning has the potential to identify novel biological factors underlying successful antibody responses to influenza vaccines. The first attempts have revealed a high level of complexity in establishing influenza immunity, and many different...
INTRODUCTION: Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor before 25 years of age. Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy determines continuation of treatment and is also a powerful prognostic factor. There are currently no reliable ways to eva...
PURPOSE: Prompt diagnosis and quantitation of pneumothorax impact decisions pertaining to patient management. The purpose of our study was to develop and evaluate the accuracy of a deep learning (DL)-based image classification program for detection o...

Epileptic seizures occur as a result of a process that develops over time and space in epileptic networks. In this study, we aim at developing a generalizable method for patient-specific seizure prediction by evaluating the spatio-temporal correlatio...
Acute appendicitis is one of the major causes for emergency surgery in childhood and adolescence. Appendectomy is still the therapy of choice, but conservative strategies are increasingly being studied for uncomplicated inflammation. Diagnosis of acu...
To evaluate the risk-of-hospitalization (ROH) models developed at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana (BCBSLA) and compare this approach to the DxCG risk-score algorithms utilized by many health plans. Time zero for this study was December 31, 2016....
OBJECTIVE: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a common treatment for medically intractable epilepsy, but response rates are highly variable, with no preoperative means of identifying good candidates. This study aimed to predict VNS response using struc...
Racial disparities in the utilization of epilepsy surgery are well documented, but it is unknown whether a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm trained on physician notes would produce biased recommendations for epilepsy presurgical evaluation...
