Predicting noise-induced hearing loss with machine learning: the influence of tinnitus as a predictive factor.

The Journal of laryngology and otology
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine which machine learning model is most suitable for predicting noise-induced hearing loss and the effect of tinnitus on the models' accuracy.

Responsible Development of Emerging Technologies: Extensions and Lessons From Nanotechnology for Worker Protection.

Journal of occupational and environmental medicine
OBJECTIVES: This paper identifies approaches to the responsible development of emerging technologies to secure worker safety and health.

Deep Learning Neural Network-Guided Detection of Asbestos Bodies in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Samples.

Acta cytologica
INTRODUCTION: Asbestos is a global occupational health hazard, and exposure to it by inhalation predisposes to interstitial as well as malignant pulmonary morbidity. Over time, asbestos fibers embedded in lung tissue can become coated with iron-rich ...

Evaluation of cancer drug infusion devices prior to the implementation of a compounding robot.

Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners
INTRODUCTION: Compounding robots are increasingly being implemented in hospital pharmacies. In our hospital, the recent acquisition of a robot (RIVA, ARxIUM) for intravenous cancer drug compounding obliged us to replace the previously used infusion d...

Deep learning for asbestos counting.

Journal of hazardous materials
The PCM (phase contrast microscopy) method for asbestos counting needs special sample treatments, hence it is time consuming and rather expensive. As an alternative, we implemented a deep learning procedure on images directly acquired from the untrea...

Deep Learning for the Automatic Quantification of Pleural Plaques in Asbestos-Exposed Subjects.

International journal of environmental research and public health
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate an automated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven quantification of pleural plaques in a population of retired workers previously occupationally exposed to asbestos.

Radiation Protection and Occupational Exposure on Ga-PSMA-11-Based Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging Procedures in Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) was successfully implemented in the intraoperative context as a form of radioguided cancer surgery, showing promise in the detection of surgical margins during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The present stud...

Evaluation of external contamination on the vial surfaces of some hazardous drugs that commonly used in Chinese hospitals and comparison between environmental contamination generated during robotic compounding by IV: Dispensing robot vs. manual compounding in biological safety cabinet.

Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners
OBJECTIVES: The aims of the study were to evaluate the external contamination of hazardous drug vials used in Chinese hospitals and to compare environmental contamination generated by a robotic intelligent dispensing system (WEINAS) and a manual comp...

Potential of deep learning in assessing pneumoconiosis depicted on digital chest radiography.

Occupational and environmental medicine
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the potential of deep learning in assessing pneumoconiosis depicted on digital chest radiographs and to compare its performance with certified radiologists.
