Prospective Assessment of a Symptomatic Cerebral Vasospasm Predictive Neural Network Model.

World neurosurgery
INTRODUCTION: The author introduced a symptomatic cerebral vasospasm (SCV) prediction model built with freeware based on a 91-patient dataset. In a prospective test group of 22 patients at the same hospital, this model outperformed logistic regressio...

Robust modelling of acute toxicity towards fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) using counter-propagation artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm.

SAR and QSAR in environmental research
Large worldwide use of chemicals has caused great concern about their possible adverse effects on human health, flora and fauna. Increased production of new chemicals has also increased demand for their risk assessment. Traditionally, results from an...

The use of machine learning for the identification of peripheral artery disease and future mortality risk.

Journal of vascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: A key aspect of the precision medicine effort is the development of informatics tools that can analyze and interpret "big data" sets in an automated and adaptive fashion while providing accurate and actionable clinical information. The aim...

An Imbalanced Learning based MDR-TB Early Warning System.

Journal of medical systems
As a man-made disease, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is mainly caused by improper treatment programs and poor patient supervision, most of which could be prevented. According to the daily treatment and inspection records of tuberculosis (...

A decision model to predict the risk of the first fall onset.

Experimental gerontology
BACKGROUND: Miscellaneous features from various domains are accepted to be associated with the risk of falling in the elderly. However, only few studies have focused on establishing clinical tools to predict the risk of the first fall onset. A model ...

Novel risk index for the identification of age-related macular degeneration using radon transform and DWT features.

Computers in biology and medicine
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) affects the central vision of aged people. It can be diagnosed due to the presence of drusen, Geographic Atrophy (GA) and Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) in the fundus images. It is labor intensive and time-c...

Hybrid EANN-EA System for the Primary Estimation of Cardiometabolic Risk.

Journal of medical systems
The most important part of the early prevention of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases is the estimation of the cardiometabolic risk (CMR). The CMR estimation can be divided into two phases. The first phase is called primary estimation of CMR...

Improve Glioblastoma Multiforme Prognosis Prediction by Using Feature Selection and Multiple Kernel Learning.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive type of brain cancer with very low median survival. In order to predict the patient's prognosis, researchers have proposed rules to classify different glioma cancer cell subtypes. However, survival...

A Dynamic Health Assessment Approach for Shearer Based on Artificial Immune Algorithm.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
In order to accurately identify the dynamic health of shearer, reducing operating trouble and production accident of shearer and improving coal production efficiency further, a dynamic health assessment approach for shearer based on artificial immune...
