BACKGROUND: In an earlier study, we reported the successful reduction in the use of damage control laparotomy (DCL); however, no change in the relative frequencies of specific indications was observed. In this study, we aimed to use machine learning ...
BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) of health-related data is still an expertise demanding, and resource expensive process. We created a novel, open source rapid clinical text mining system called NimbleMiner. NimbleMiner combines several m...
Nigeria is one of the fastest growing African economies, yet struggles with armed conflict, poverty, and morbidity. An area of high concern is how this situation affects vulnerable families and their children. A key pathway in improving the situation...
We used an ensemble of statistical methods to build a model that predicts kidney transplant survival and identifies important predictive variables. The proposed model achieved better performance, measured by Harrell's concordance index, than the Esti...
Antibodies provide immune protection by recognizing antigens of diverse chemical properties, but elucidating the amino acid sequence-function relationships underlying the specificity and affinity of antibody-antigen interactions remains challenging. ...
Noise that afflicts natural images, regardless of the source, generally disturbs the perception of image quality by introducing a high-frequency random element that, when severe, can mask image content. Except at very low levels, where it may play a ...

The use of pesticides has been increasing in agriculture, leading to a public health problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate ototoxic effects in farmers who were exposed to cigarette smoke and/or pesticides and to identify possible classificat...
Riboswitch development for clinical, technological, and synthetic biology applications constantly seeks to optimize regulatory behavior. Here, we present a machine learning approach to improve the regulation of a tetracycline (tc)-dependent riboswitc...
