Reverse Engineering and Evaluation of Prediction Models for Progression to Type 2 Diabetes: An Application of Machine Learning Using Electronic Health Records.

Journal of diabetes science and technology
BACKGROUND: Application of novel machine learning approaches to electronic health record (EHR) data could provide valuable insights into disease processes. We utilized this approach to build predictive models for progression to prediabetes and type 2...

Anti-Müllerian hormone concentrations and antral follicle counts for the prediction of pregnancy outcomes after intrauterine insemination.

International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations and antral follicle counts (AFCs) in the prediction of pregnancy outcomes after controlled ovarian stimulation among women undergoing intrauterine insemination.

Efavirenz pharmacogenetics in a cohort of Italian patients.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
The pharmacogenetics and pharmacokinetics of efavirenz (EFV) have been widely studied, although data in the Italian population are limited. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP2B6 gene have been associated with increased EFV plasma conce...

Anterior approach for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (with video).

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the significance of the anterior approach without the Pringle maneuver during right hepatectomies with caudate lobectomies for perihilar cholangiocarcinomas (PHCs).

Adjuvant Carboplatin Treatment in 115 Patients With Stage I Seminoma: Retrospective Multicenter Survey.

Clinical genitourinary cancer
BACKGROUND: The administration of carboplatin AUC 7 has become a standard adjuvant option for patients undergoing orchiectomy for stage I seminoma, in alternative to radiotherapy on retroperitoneal lymphnodes or surveillance. The toxicity of AUC 7 ca...

Papillary thyroid carcinomas with biochemical incomplete or indeterminate responses to initial treatment: repeat stimulated thyroglobulin assay to identify disease-free patients.

Endocrine
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients treated with thyroidectomy and radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA) often have detectable TSH-stimulated thyroglobulin (Tg) levels without localizable disease after primary treatment. To assess the value of repea...

Comparison of bleeding risks related to venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in laparoscopic vs open colorectal cancer surgery: a multicenter study in Japanese patients.

American journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism is the most common preventable cause of hospital death. The objective of this study was to clarify risk factors for postoperative bleeding related to thromboprophylaxis after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

Use of artificial neural networks to predict the probability of developing new cerebral metastases after radiosurgery alone.

Journal of neurosurgical sciences
BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to predict the probability of developing new cerebral metastases after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKR) alone in patients with 1-3 brain metastases by artificial neural network (ANN) model.

Clinical features of mesenteric lymphatic malformation in children.

Journal of pediatric surgery
BACKGROUND: Mesenteric lymphatic malformations (MLs) are a heterogeneous group of benign diseases of the lymphatic system that present with cystic dilated lymphatics of the mesentery. MLs are rare and represent less than 5% of all lymphatic malformat...

Endoscopic autologous cartilage injection for the patulous eustachian tube.

American journal of otolaryngology
Patulous eustachian tube (PET) can have a significant negative impact on a patient's quality of life. Several methods of surgical management can be an option to treat PET, and our objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous cartila...
