Use of an Artificial Neural Network to Construct a Model of Predicting Deep Fungal Infection in Lung Cancer Patients.

Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP
BACKGROUND: The statistical methods to analyze and predict the related dangerous factors of deep fungal infection in lung cancer patients were several, such as logic regression analysis, meta-analysis, multivariate Cox proportional hazards model anal...

Post-operative bleeding risk stratification in cardiac pulmonary bypass patients using artificial neural network.

Annals of clinical and laboratory science
The prediction of bleeding risk in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patients plays a vital role in their postoperative management. Therefore, an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze intra-operative laboratory data to predict postoperative bleeding ...

Diagnosis of periodontal diseases using different classification algorithms: a preliminary study.

Nigerian journal of clinical practice
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the proposed study was to develop an identification unit for classifying periodontal diseases using support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), and artificial neural networks (ANNs).

Task and postural factors are related to back pain in helicopter pilots.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
BACKGROUND: A previous survey by Shear et al. revealed a high prevalence of back pain in Royal Navy helicopter aircrew, compared with controls. It was recommended that a second survey be undertaken, taking account of flying tasks and cockpit ergonomi...

Factors associated with motor vehicle crashes in cognitively impaired older adults.

Alzheimer disease and associated disorders
Because cognitive impairment might pose a safety risk for these drivers and the public, we examined what patient characteristics might be associated with motor vehicle crashes, in a retrospective study of all new referrals to a geriatric clinic speci...

Carotid artery dissection presenting as a painless Horner's syndrome in a pilot: fit to fly?

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
We describe a case of a middle-aged Caucasian pilot who presented to us with a painless left Horner's syndrome due to a focal dissection of the infra-petrous portion of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery. He did not suffer symptoms of cerebral i...
