PURPOSE: Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the gold standard biomarker for assessing cardiac damage. Previous studies have demonstrated increases in plasma cTn because of extreme exercise, including marathon running. We developed an easy-to-use, ultrasensiti...
As individuals age, there is potential for dramatic changes in the social and behavioral determinants that affect health status and outcomes. The importance of these determinants has been increasingly recognized in clinical decision-making. We sought...
Typically acute deterioration in sick people is preceded by subtle changes in the physiological parameters such as pulse and blood pressure. The Modified Early Warning Score is a scoring system developed to assist hospital staff in gauging these phys...
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the added predictive value of combining clinical information and myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging (MPI) data using machine learning (ML) to predict major adverse cardiac ...
OBJECTIVES: To examine the feasibility of the automated creation of meaningful free-text summaries of longitudinal clinical records, using a new general methodology that we had recently developed; and to assess the potential benefits to the clinical ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Trials of restorative therapies after stroke and clinical rehabilitation require relevant and objective efficacy end points; real-world upper extremity (UE) functional use is an attractive candidate. We present a novel, inexpe...
Personalized predictive medicine necessitates the modeling of patient illness and care processes, which inherently have long-term temporal dependencies. Healthcare observations, stored in electronic medical records are episodic and irregular in time....
