BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) can induce portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis (PVT), which may generate higher morbidity and mortality. However current diagnostic modalities for PVT are still controversial. In recent decades, artificial neural...
We utilize deep neural networks to develop prediction models for patient survival and conditional survival of colon cancer. Our models are trained and validated on data obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. We provide...
Earthquakes are a common and deadly natural disaster, with roughly one-quarter of survivors subsequently developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite progress identifying risk factors, limited research has examined how to combine variable...
Crash severity prediction models enable different agencies to predict the severity of a reported crash with unknown severity or the severity of crashes that may be expected to occur sometime in the future. This paper had three main objectives: compar...

Evaluation of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and correlation with heart valve abnormalities among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Nested case-control study was conducted with 70 patients with SLE selected from a longitudinal data...
Monitoring effects of disease or therapeutic intervention on brain function is increasingly important for clinical trials, albeit hampered by inter-individual variability and subtle effects. Here, we apply complementary biomarker algorithms to electr...
