Clinical Value of Predicting Individual Treatment Effects for Intensive Blood Pressure Therapy.

Circulation. Cardiovascular quality and outcomes
BACKGROUND: The absolute risk reduction (ARR) in cardiovascular events from therapy is generally assumed to be proportional to baseline risk-such that high-risk patients benefit most. Yet newer analyses have proposed using randomized trial data to de...

Classification of Background Parenchymal Uptake on Molecular Breast Imaging Using a Convolutional Neural Network.

JCO clinical cancer informatics
PURPOSE: Background parenchymal uptake (BPU), which describes the level of radiotracer uptake in normal fibroglandular tissue on molecular breast imaging (MBI), has been identified as a breast cancer risk factor. Our objective was to develop and vali...

Predicting electrical storms by remote monitoring of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients using machine learning.

Europace : European pacing, arrhythmias, and cardiac electrophysiology : journal of the working groups on cardiac pacing, arrhythmias, and cardiac cellular electrophysiology of the European Society of Cardiology
AIMS: Electrical storm (ES) is a serious arrhythmic syndrome that is characterized by recurrent episodes of ventricular arrhythmias. Electrical storm is associated with increased mortality and morbidity despite the use of implantable cardioverter-def...

Fuzzy logic based risk assessment system giving individualized advice for metabolic syndrome and fatal cardiovascular diseases.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
In 2005, global cardiovascular diseases caused 30% of deaths in Europe, which is 46% of total deaths for all death groups. Today, according to the International Adult Diabetes Federation, 20% to 25% of the adult population in the world has Metabolic ...

Computer-Assisted Wound Assessment and Care Education Program in Registered Nurses: Use of an Interactive Online Program by 418 Registered Nurses.

Journal of wound, ostomy, and continence nursing : official publication of The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society
PURPOSE: The purpose of this descriptive study was to evaluate use of a previously validated, online, interactive wound assessment and wound care clinical pathway in a group of RNs. Specific aims were to (a) evaluate the proportions of correct, parti...

Precision immunoprofiling to reveal diagnostic signatures for latent tuberculosis infection and reactivation risk stratification.

Integrative biology : quantitative biosciences from nano to macro
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is estimated in nearly one quarter of the world's population, and of those immunocompetent and infected ~10% will proceed to active tuberculosis (TB). Current diagnostics cannot definitively identify LTBI and prov...
