Efficient sleep classification based on entropy features and a support vector machine classifier.

Physiological measurement
OBJECTIVE: Sleep quality helps to reflect on the physical and mental condition, and efficient sleep stage scoring promises considerable advantages to health care. The aim of this study is to propose a simple and efficient sleep classification method ...

The UK Research Excellence Framework and the Matthew effect: Insights from machine learning.

PloS one
With the high cost of the research assessment exercises in the UK, many have called for simpler and less time-consuming alternatives. In this work, we gathered publicly available REF data, combined them with library-subscribed data, and used machine ...

eDRAM: Effective early disease risk assessment with matrix factorization on a large-scale medical database: A case study on rheumatoid arthritis.

PloS one
Recently, a number of analytical approaches for probing medical databases have been developed to assist in disease risk assessment and to determine the association of a clinical condition with others, so that better and intelligent healthcare can be ...

Individual differences in rate of acquiring stable neural representations of tasks in fMRI.

PloS one
Task-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a widely-used tool for studying the neural processing correlates of human behavior in both healthy and clinical populations. There is growing interest in mapping individual differences in f...

Machine learning methods for leveraging baseline covariate information to improve the efficiency of clinical trials.

Statistics in medicine
Clinical trials are widely considered the gold standard for treatment evaluation, and they can be highly expensive in terms of time and money. The efficiency of clinical trials can be improved by incorporating information from baseline covariates tha...

Cocoa flavanol effects on markers of oxidative stress and recovery after muscle damage protocol in elite rugby players.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVES: Strenuous exercise can impair athletic performance due to muscular inflammation and oxidative stress. Antioxidants such as cocoa flavanols have been used as a supplement to prevent oxidative stress; however, the benefits of dietary antiox...

Effects of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status, immune, and inflammatory profiles of gastric cancer patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the effect of ω-3 supplementation on the nutritional status and the immune and inflammatory profiles of patients with gastric cancer during antineoplastic pretreatment.

Sensitive detection of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) activity based on terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-assisted formation of fluorescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs).

Talanta
As an important base excision repair (BER) enzyme, uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) can repair the uracil-induced DNA lesion and maintain the genomic integrity. Herein, we have proposed a sensitive UDG assay based on the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfe...

Evaluation of serum and salivary interferon-γ levels in patients with oral lichen planus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies.

Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology and oral radiology
OBJECTIVE: Cytokines have regulatory and leading roles in the immunopathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP). Here, we present the findings of a meta-analysis that evaluated serum and salivary interferon-γ (IFN-γ) levels in patients with OLP compared...

Laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADJB-SG): Surgical risk and long-term results.

Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
BACKGROUND: Single-anastomosis duodeno-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADJB-SG) was developed as a simplified technique of DJB-SG, but long-term data are lacking.
