Digital care management programs can reduce health care costs and improve quality of care. However, it is unclear how to target patients who are most likely to benefit from these programs ex ante, a shortcoming of current "risk score"-based approache...
Protein-crystallization imaging and classification is a labor-intensive process typically performed either by humans or by instruments that currently cost well over $100 000. This cost puts the use of crystallization-trial imaging outside the reach o...
BACKGROUND: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways are beneficial in proctocolectomy, but their impact on robotic low rectal proctectomy is not fully investigated. This study assessed the impact of an ERAS pathway on the outcomes and cost of...
Technological advancements are the main drivers of the healthcare industry as it has a high impact on delivering the best patient care. Recent years witnessed unprecedented growth in the number of medical equipment manufactured to aid high-quality pa...
BACKGROUND: In the era of efficient value-based health care, each surgical innovation should be proven to be cost-effective for the patient and the hospital administration.

Municipal solid waste (MSW) must be managed to reduce its impact on environmental matrices and population health as much as possible. In particular, the variables that influence the production, separate waste collection, and costs of MSW must be unde...
BACKGROUND: Rare diseases (RD) are a diverse collection of more than 7-10,000 different disorders, most of which affect a small number of people per disease. Because of their rarity and fragmentation of patients across thousands of different disorder...
PURPOSE: Medical image segmentation is critical for many medical image analysis applications. 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely adopted in the segmentation of volumetric medical images. The recent development of channelwise and...

BACKGROUND: Medical Information Departments help to optimize the hospital revenues generated by activity-based pricing. A review of medical files, selected after the targeting of coding summaries, is organized. The aim is to make any corrections to t...
The memristor is a promising candidate to implement high-density memory and neuromorphic computing. Based on the characteristic retention time, memristors are classified into volatile and non-volatile types. However, a single memristor generally prov...
