INTRODUCTION: The present study aimed at all the benefits induced by taking the Mediterranean or Japanese diet among nurses and whether any beneficial differences in intakes between the two diets were considered. METHODS: The author searched PubMed and Embase databases for medical subheadings terms and free full text…

BACKGROUND: Liponeurocytomas are rare neurocytic neoplasms that most often arise in the posterior fossa and affect individuals in the third and fifth decades of life. Most reported cases of this unique tumor in the literature have described a favorable clinical prognosis without recurrence. However, increasing reports…

BACKGROUND: Electronic medical records (EMRs) represent a potentially rich source of health information for research but the free-text in EMRs often contains identifying information. While de-identification tools have been developed for free-text, none have been developed or tested for the full range of primary care EM…

OBJECTIVE: We describe our approach to surveillance of reportable safety events captured in hospital data including free-text clinical notes. We hypothesize that a) some patient safety events are documented only in the clinical notes and not in any other accessible source; and b) large-scale abstraction of event data f…

BACKGROUND: The clinical learning environment is a platform where theory and practice should be integrated in a safe environment. However, many students experience the clinical learning environment as "stress provoking", because this environment is not always supportive. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to report…

The dural venous sinuses lie in between the two layers of the dura mater. The dural venous sinuses are important, because they receive blood from the brain and the cranial bones. All sinuses are related to the inner surface of the skull, except for the inferior sagittal and the straight sinus. The sinuses related to th…

Natural language processing (NLP), which aims to convert human language into expressions that can be analyzed by computers, is one of the most rapidly developing and widely used technologies in the field of artificial intelligence. Natural language processing algorithms convert unstructured free text data into structur…

Gluten, a polypeptide hapten, found in many cereals such as barley, wheat, rye, oats, and others, has been recently implicated in a range of cutaneous disorders ranging from chronic plaque psoriasis through psoriatic arthritis, urticaria (chronic as well as paediatric onset), and angioedema to lichen planus, vitiligo,…

We address the assignment of ICD-10 codes for causes of death by analyzing free-text descriptions in death certificates, together with the associated autopsy reports and clinical bulletins, from the Portuguese Ministry of Health. We leverage a deep neural network that combines word embeddings, recurrent units, and neur…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze existing literature on virtual exercise interventions delivered to people with disabilities to assess effectiveness, efficiency, usability, satisfaction, and feasibility, and describe current trends that aimed to improve health outcomes among people with disabilities. DATA SOURCES: CINAHL, MEDLIN…

The complete archive of the New Zealand Veterinary Journal went online on 1 January 2003 on SciQuest (www.sciquest.org.nz), an innovative new e-publishing website developed by the New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA). This follows hot on the heels of the CD-Rom version released from the same platform in June last…

We have developed a free, public web-based tool, Trials to Publications, https://arrowsmith.psych.uic.edu/cgi-bin/arrowsmith_uic/TrialPubLinking/trial_pub_link_start.cgi, which employs a machine learning model to predict which publications are likely to present clinical outcome results from a given registered trial in…

 Patient-reported outcome measures are increasingly important in healthcare. European guidelines have recommended inclusion of patient feedback to capture adverse events due to colonoscopy, but this is rarely implemented. The Norwegian Quality Assurance network for endoscopy (Gastronet) collects patient-r…

Sexual violence against children and adolescents is considered a public health problem of worldwide scope. The objective is to analyze the findings in the literature that address the phenomenon of sexual violence against children and adolescents in the school environment; is an integrative literature review that has as…

The growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical medicine has opened new possibilities for enhancing diagnostic accuracy, therapeutic decision-making, and biomedical innovation across several domains. This review is aimed to evaluate the clinical applications of AI across five key domains of medici…

We present GePI, a novel Web server for large-scale text mining of molecular interactions from the scientific biomedical literature. GePI leverages natural language processing techniques to identify genes and related entities, interactions between those entities and biomolecular events involving them. GePI supports rap…

Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability in the world. It has sensory, motor, and cognitive symptoms. Many cognitive domains might get involved in a stroke. This systematic review focuses on working memory domain deficits after stroke and their various rehabilitation methods. This review is based on Prefer…

Aseptic technique forms a component of standard precautions and is a foundational concept in nursing practice. The application of that standard appears to vary between context and nurse. The variation of principles and application between facilities and individuals may reflect the current disparity in evidence-based li…

Both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are major health burdens. A number of studies have addressed their interrelationship, but currently no systematic review has been published. Our objective is to give an overview of the literature of the association between COPD and SCD. A…

IMPORTANCE: Virtual reality-assisted visual field testing (VRVFT) is a novel modality for evaluating glaucoma progression, offering potential advantages over standard automated perimetry (SAP). To date, no narrative literature review has comprehensively discussed the benefits and drawbacks of VRVFT for glaucoma patient…
