BACKGROUND: Molecular Biology accumulated substantial amounts of data concerning functions of genes and proteins. Information relating to functional descriptions is generally extracted manually from textual data and stored in biological databases to build up annotations for large collections of gene products. Those ann…

In this paper, the role of gradient micro-inertia terms [Formula: see text] and free micro-inertia terms [Formula: see text] is investigated to unveil their respective effects on the dynamic behaviour of band-gap metamaterials. We show that the term [Formula: see text] alone is only able to disclose relatively simplifi…

OBJECTIVE: With its anonymity and accessibility, text-based online counseling has shown great potential in reaching people with mental health needs. One strategy adopted to meet the service gap is, that is, each counselor attending to more than one client at a time. To date, there is no reported evidence supporting its…

While reviewing the available literature, we noticed comorbidity of epilepsy and psychiatric disorders. Psychiatric disorders were observed more frequently in patients with high seizure frequency. There is significant prevalence of epilepsy comorbidity with depression, anxiety disorders, and to a lesser extent with bip…

We present a method and setup that provide complementary three-dimensional (3D) images of blood oxygenation (via quantitative photoacoustic imaging) and blood flow dynamics (via ultrasound Doppler). The proposed approach is label-free and exploits blood-induced fluctuations, and is implemented on a sparse array with on…

Pediatric cancer nursing is a deeply fulfilling yet highly stressful profession as nurses support families during times of intense emotional distress. This study examined the factors influencing job satisfaction among pediatric cancer nurses across Australia and their recommendations to address workplace challenges.A c…

The objective of this focused narrative review is to summarize clinical and preclinical evidence on intracameral bimatoprost implants for adults with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT), focusing on comparative efficacy, safety, and adherence-related outcomes. PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar w…

Pleomorphic sarcoma of the tongue base is an extremely rare pathology finding. Our review of current databases returned fewer than 10 articles available free full text on this subject. We review the current state of art management guidelines for this type of tumor. Our case presented surprisingly a favorable evolution…

BACKGROUND: Full syntactic parsing of clinical text as a part of clinical natural language processing (NLP) is critical for a wide range of applications. Several robust syntactic parsers are publicly available to produce linguistic representations for sentences. However, these existing parsers are mostly trained on gen…

PURPOSE: Gliomas are the commonest malignant brain tumours. Baseline characteristics on structural MRI, such as size, enhancement proportion and eloquent brain involvement inform grading and treatment planning. Currently, free-text imaging reports depend on the individual style and experience of the radiologist. Standa…

The UK has a significant and growing population of older adults with frailty and complex healthcare needs, necessitating innovative care solutions. This study aimed to explore patients' and carers' experiences of a novel integrated service that was set up to address the increasing healthcare needs of older people livin…

BACKGROUND: Electronic health records (EHR) contain large volumes of unstructured free-form text notes that richly describe a patient's health and medical comorbidities. It is unclear if perioperative risk stratification can be performed directly from these notes without manual data extraction. We conduct a feasibility…

For over two decades, valuable insights have been accumulated from epidemiologic studies and randomized trials about the risks and prevention of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (AF) substantially raises the risk of stroke, most likely through an atrio-embolic mechanism. Warfarin and other members of its class…

A semi-automatic procedure that extracts metadata from MEDLINE was used to develop a search tool that facilitates online location and (free) access to full-text electronic documents from the Proceedings of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Annual Symposia (1997-2003). Log file analysis for six months…

The front cover artwork is provided by Dr. Karabencheva-Christova's group at Michigan Technological University. The images show the initially formed and the catalytically productive conformations of MMP-1 complex with the Triple Helical Peptide (THP), the free energy profile connecting them as well as the coordination…

The Katz centrality of a node in a complex network is a measure of the node's importance as far as the flow of information across the network is concerned. For ensembles of locally tree-like undirected random graphs, this observable is a random variable. Its full probability distribution is of interest but difficult to…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of eletriptan for acute migraine treatment and patient satisfaction with the drug in usual clinical practice settings. METHODS: Male and female patients of practicing neurologists, aged 18 to 65 years, were eligible for inclusion in the study if they met International Headache…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies report varying rates of time-loss injuries in adolescent female soccer, ranging from 2.4 to 5.3 per 1000 athlete-exposures or 2.5 to 3.7 per 1000 hours of exposure. However, these studies collected data using traditional injury reports from coaches or medical staff, with methods that signif…

The conjunctival nevus is one of the most common benign tumors of the ocular surface. Melanomas are rare; they can arise without a preexisting conjunctival nevus, or due to malignant transformation in case of PAM (primary acquired melanosis). The retrospective study analyzed 70 patients with pigmented lesion of the con…

BACKGROUND: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug labels contain a broad array of information, ranging from adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to drug efficacy, risk-benefit consideration, and more. However, the labeling language used to describe these information is free text often containing ambiguous seman…
