OBJECTIVES: To deploy machine learning tools (random forests) to develop a model that reliably predicts hospital mortality in children with acute infections residing in low- and middle-income countries, using age and other variables collected at hosp...
To prevent chronicity of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) by early treatment, detecting inflammatory signs in an early phase is essential. Since Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the wrist, hand and foot can detect inflammation before it is clinically det...
