Fuzzy risk assessment for mechanized underground coal mines in Turkey.

International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics : JOSE
The decision matrix method is preferred as a measure of risk evaluation considering the risk value obtained by two risk factors such as the likelihood and severity of a hazard. However, it has some deficiencies since a crisp risk score is assigned fo...

Using artificial intelligence to predict prolonged mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy placement.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Early identification of critically ill patients who will require prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) has proven to be difficult. The purpose of this study was to use machine learning to identify patients at risk for PMV and tracheostom...

Bimodal fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (BFAHP) for coronary heart disease risk assessment.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Rooted deeply in medical multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM), risk assessment is very important especially when applied to the risk of being affected by deadly diseases such as coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD risk assessment is a stochastic, u...

Treatment-related features improve machine learning prediction of prognosis in soft tissue sarcoma patients.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Current prognostic models for soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients are solely based on staging information. Treatment-related data have not been included to date. Including such information, however, could help to improve these ...

Design and validation of an ontology-driven animal-free testing strategy for developmental neurotoxicity testing.

Toxicology and applied pharmacology
Developmental neurotoxicity entails one of the most complex areas in toxicology. Animal studies provide only limited information as to human relevance. A multitude of alternative models have been developed over the years, providing insights into mech...

Two-stage approach for risk estimation of fetal trisomy 21 and other aneuploidies using computational intelligence systems.

Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology : the official journal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of fetal trisomy 21 (T21) and other chromosomal abnormalities (OCA) at 11-13 weeks' gestation using computational intelligence classification methods.

Randomized controlled trial of Amigo® robotically controlled versus manually controlled ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus using a contact force ablation catheter.

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is a common treatment for atrial flutter (AFL). However, achieving bi-directional CTI conduction block may be difficult, partly due to catheter instability.
