Bolus pharmacokinetics: moving beyond mass-based dosing to guide drug administration.

Journal of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Despite the common approach of bolus drug dosing using a patient's mass, a more tailored approach would be to use empirically derived pharmacokinetic models. Previously, this could only be possible though the use of computer simulation using programs...

An optimal interval type-2 fuzzy logic control based closed-loop drug administration to regulate the mean arterial blood pressure.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this work is to present an optimal and robust controller design in order to improve the drug infusion to the automatic control of mean arterial blood pressure in conditions like critically-ill or post-operati...

Designing combination therapies with modeling chaperoned machine learning.

PLoS computational biology
Chemotherapy resistance is a major challenge to the effective treatment of cancer. Thus, a systematic pipeline for the efficient identification of effective combination treatments could bring huge biomedical benefit. In order to facilitate rational d...

On medical application of neural networks trained with various types of data.

Bioscience trends
Neural networks have garnered attention over the past few years. A neural network is a typical model of machine learning that is used to identify visual patterns. Neural networks are used to solve a wide variety of problems, including image recogniti...

Characterization of the Context of Drug Concepts in Research Protocols: An Empiric Study to Guide Ontology Development.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
We examined a large body of research study documents (protocols) to identify mentions of drug concepts and established base concepts and roles needed to characterize the semantics of these instances. We found these concepts in three general situation...

Medication-indication knowledge bases: a systematic review and critical appraisal.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Medication-indication information is a key part of the information needed for providing decision support for and promoting appropriate use of medications. However, this information is not readily available to end users, and a lot of the re...

Validation of a Crowdsourcing Methodology for Developing a Knowledge Base of Related Problem-Medication Pairs.

Applied clinical informatics
BACKGROUND: Clinical knowledge bases of problem-medication pairs are necessary for many informatics solutions that improve patient safety, such as clinical summarization. However, developing these knowledge bases can be challenging.

Predicting Methylphenidate Response in ADHD Using Machine Learning Approaches.

The international journal of neuropsychopharmacology
BACKGROUND: There are no objective, biological markers that can robustly predict methylphenidate response in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This study aimed to examine whether applying machine learning approaches to pretreatment demographi...
