Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States, which has led to its ubiquitous occurrence in food and water and regular detection in human urine at concentrations of 1-10 μg/L. Data pertaining to health risks arising from ...
Particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM) is a complex mixture of chemical constituents emitted from various emission sources or through secondary reactions/processes; however, PM is regulated mostly based on its total mass c...

BACKGROUND Reported per-patient costs of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) vary by 2 orders of magnitude among different hospitals, implying that infection control officers need precise, local analyses to guide rational decision making between in...
Journal of laparoendoscopic & advanced surgical techniques. Part A
Sep 14, 2015
OBJECTIVE: Few studies have directly assessed the impact of tumor anterior/posterior location during transperitoneal robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (TPRPN). The present study sought to assess perioperative and pathological outcomes...
Automated phenotype identification plays a critical role in cohort selection and bioinformatics data mining. Natural Language Processing (NLP)-informed classification techniques can robustly identify phenotypes in unstructured medical notes. In this ...
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task featured a track focused on identifying risk factors for heart disease (specifically, Cardiac Artery Disease) in clinical narratives. For this track, we used a "light" annotation paradigm...
