Clinical impact of prostate biopsy undergrading in an academic and community setting.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the rate of Gleason score (GS) upgrade on final pathology, the rate of positive surgical margins (PSM) and the rate of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) were different if prostate biopsy (PB) w...

Field study analysis of the influences of deworming regimens and housing conditions on parasites and sperm output in 21 European boar studs.

Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)
The current study reports the parasitological results of a quality control audit in 21 European boar studs. Field investigations were performed over a 2-year period (2012-2013) during the winter and spring. From each stud, an average of 30 (range, 25...

RIPTOSO: The development of a screening tool for adverse events during forensic-psychiatric inpatient treatments of offenders with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

Psychiatry research
Adverse events such as compulsory measures, absconding, illicit substance use, self-harm, aggressive behavior, and prolonged hospitalization pose significant challenges in forensic psychiatric inpatient care. This study introduces a machine learning-...

Ceasing sampling at wastewater treatment plants where viral dynamics are most predictable.

Epidemics
Wastewater sampling has been shown to be an effective tool for monitoring the dynamics of an infectious disease. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many sampling sites were opened in order to capture as much information as possible. However, with the pand...

Assessment of Machine Learning Algorithms to Predict Medical Specialty Choice.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Equitable distribution of physicians across specialties is a significant public health challenge. While previous studies primarily relied on classic statistics models to estimate factors affecting medical students' career choices, this study explores...

AI-Enhanced Speech Recognition in Triage.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Triage is used in emergency departments to ensure timely patient care according to urgency of treatment. However, triage accuracy and efficiency remain challenging due to time-constraints and high demand. This proof-of-concept study evaluates an AI-p...

Snow Height Sensors Reveal Phenological Advance in Alpine Grasslands.

Global change biology
Long-term phenological data in alpine regions are often limited to a few locations and thus, little is known about climate-change-induced plant phenological shifts above the treeline. Because plant growth initiation in seasonally snow-covered regions...

Exploring the Potential of Non-Proprietary Language Models for Analysing Patient-Reported Experiences.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being explored for various applications in medical language processing. Due to data privacy issues, it is recommended to apply non-proprietary models that can be run locally. Therefore, this study aims to...

Forecasting monthly runoff in a glacierized catchment: A comparison of extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and deep learning models.

PloS one
Accurate monthly runoff forecasting is vital for water management, flood control, hydropower, and irrigation. In glacierized catchments affected by climate change, runoff is influenced by complex hydrological processes, making precise forecasting eve...

Accelerating Clinical Text Annotation in Underrepresented Languages: A Case Study on Text De-Identification.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical notes contain valuable information for research and monitoring quality of care. Named Entity Recognition (NER) is the process for identifying relevant pieces of information such as diagnoses, treatments, side effects, etc., and bring them to...
