KnowEnG: a knowledge engine for genomics.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
We describe here the vision, motivations, and research plans of the National Institutes of Health Center for Excellence in Big Data Computing at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The Center is organized around the construction of "Knowled...

A Robust e-Epidemiology Tool in Phenotyping Heart Failure with Differentiation for Preserved and Reduced Ejection Fraction: the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network.

Journal of cardiovascular translational research
Identifying populations of heart failure (HF) patients is paramount to research efforts aimed at developing strategies to effectively reduce the burden of this disease. The use of electronic medical record (EMR) data for this purpose is challenging g...

Assessment of brain-machine interfaces from the perspective of people with paralysis.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: One of the main goals of brain-machine interface (BMI) research is to restore function to people with paralysis. Currently, multiple BMI design features are being investigated, based on various input modalities (externally applied and surg...

An Opening Chapter of the First Generation of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: The First Rutgers AIM Workshop, June 1975.

Yearbook of medical informatics
The first generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Medicine methods were developed in the early 1970's drawing on insights about problem solving in AI. They developed new ways of representing structured expert knowledge about clinical and biomed...

Current state of micro-robots/devices as substitutes for screening colonoscopy: assessment based on technology readiness levels.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: Previous reports have described several candidates, which have the potential to replace colonoscopy, but to date, there is still no device capable of fully replacing flexible colonoscopy in the management of colonic disorders and for mass...

Abdominal Hysterectomy: Reduced Risk of Surgical Site Infection Associated with Robotic and Laparoscopic Technique.

Surgical infections
BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy is one of the most common procedures performed in the United States. New techniques utilizing laparoscopic and robotic technology are becoming increasingly common. It is unknown if these minimally invasive surgical techniques...

Evaluation and integration of cancer gene classifiers: identification and ranking of plausible drivers.

Scientific reports
The number of mutated genes in cancer cells is far larger than the number of mutations that drive cancer. The difficulty this creates for identifying relevant alterations has stimulated the development of various computational approaches to distingui...

Is demography destiny? Application of machine learning techniques to accurately predict population health outcomes from a minimal demographic dataset.

PloS one
For years, we have relied on population surveys to keep track of regional public health statistics, including the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Because of the cost and limitations of such surveys, we often do not have the up-to-date data o...

An overview of the BIOASQ large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and question answering competition.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: This article provides an overview of the first BIOASQ challenge, a competition on large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and question answering (QA), which took place between March and September 2013. BIOASQ assesses the ability of syst...
