End-to-end lung cancer screening with three-dimensional deep learning on low-dose chest computed tomography.

Nature medicine
With an estimated 160,000 deaths in 2018, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography has been shown to reduce mortality by 20-43% and is now included in US scree...

A machine-learning-based prediction model of fistula formation after interstitial brachytherapy for locally advanced gynecological malignancies.

Brachytherapy
PURPOSE: External beam radiotherapy combined with interstitial brachytherapy is commonly used to treat patients with bulky, advanced gynecologic cancer. However, the high radiation dose needed to control the tumor may result in fistula development. T...

Cardiovascular disease risk prediction using automated machine learning: A prospective study of 423,604 UK Biobank participants.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Identifying people at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a cornerstone of preventative cardiology. Risk prediction models currently recommended by clinical guidelines are typically based on a limited number of predictors with sub-op...

Predictive risk mapping of human leptospirosis using support vector machine classification and multilayer perceptron neural network.

Geospatial health
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease found wherever human is in direct or indirect contact with contaminated water and environment. Considering the increasing number of cases of this disease in the northern part of Iran, identifying areas characterize...

Automated extraction of sudden cardiac death risk factors in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients by natural language processing.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients requires the knowledge of risk factors associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). SCD risk factors such as syncope and family history of SCD (FH-SCD) as well as family history ...

Physician Review of a Celiac Disease Risk Estimation and Decision-Making Expert System.

Journal of the American College of Nutrition
Celiac disease is a genetic disease affecting people of all ages, resulting in small intestine enteropathy. It is considered to be a clinical chameleon. Average prevalence of celiac disease is 1 out of 100 people with data indicating the risk may be...

Development of a machine learning algorithm for prediction of failure of nonoperative management in spinal epidural abscess.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Data regarding risk of failure of nonoperative management in spinal epidural abscess (SEA) are limited. Given the potential for deterioration with treatment failure, a tool that predicts the probability of failure would be of grea...
