BACKGROUND: BERT models have seen widespread use on unstructured text within the clinical domain. However, little to no research has been conducted into classifying unstructured clinical notes on the basis of patient lifestyle indicators, especially in Dutch. This article aims to test the feasibility of deep BERT model…

INTRODUCTION: The increasing popularity of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has led to the emergence of public health concerns, particularly among the youth. As a major producer and exporter of e-cigarettes, China has faced public health challenges in regulating the unregulated e-cigarette industry. AIMS AND METHO…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women in the US. With poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors having shown promising results in ongoing trials, there is interest in better understanding their economic value. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to review and evaluate the quality o…

INTRODUCTION: One of the main tasks in information retrieval is the development of Boolean search strategies for systematic searches in bibliographic databases. This includes the identification of free-text terms and controlled vocabulary. IQWiG has previously implemented its objective approach for search strategy deve…

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Systematically review the outcomes of endoscopic endonasal techniques to reconstruct large skull base defects (ESBR). Such surgical innovation is likely to be reported in case series, retrospective cohorts, or case-control studies rather than higher level evidence. STUDY DESIGN: Systematic revie…

Complete genome data of infectious microorganisms permit systematic computational sequence-based predictions and experimental testing of candidate vaccine epitopes. Both, predictions and the interpretation of experiments rely on existing information in the literature which is mostly manually extracted and curated. The…

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…

PURPOSE: The shape and position of the hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve (ODC) is of critical importance in medicine, as it determines the uptake of Oin the lungs and the delivery of Oto the tissues. Numerous reports have identified affinity-modulating effects of drugs in humans. Such effects may be relevant to cond…

The morphological and hemodynamic changes of microvessels are demonstrated to be related to the diseased conditions in tissues. Ultrafast power Doppler imaging (uPDI) is a novel modality with a significantly increased Doppler sensitivity, benefiting from the ultrahigh frame rate plane-wave imaging (PWI) and advanced cl…

OBJECTIVES: Artificial intelligence (AI) has tremendous potential to help radiologists in daily clinical routine. However, a seamless, standardized, and time-efficient way of integrating AI into the radiology workflow is often lacking. This constrains the full potential of this technology. To address this, we developed…

Accurately predicting free energy differences is essential in realizing the full potential of rational drug design. Unfortunately, high levels of accuracy often require computationally expensive QM/MM Hamiltonians. Fortuitously, the cost of employing QM/MM approaches in rigorous free energy simulation can be reduced th…

Identifying which patients are at higher risks of dying or being re-admitted often happens to be resource- and life- saving, thus is a very important and challenging task for healthcare text analytics. While many successful approaches exist to predict such clinical events based on categorical and numerical variables, a…

TITLE: Women experiencing the second stage of labour for the first time: a qualitative free-text analysis within the Oneplus trial. BACKGROUND: The second stage of labour is the time from full cervical dilation to the birth of the baby. The risks to the woman and the baby are increased during this stage, leading to in…

OBJECTIVE: Cancer remains one of the most enduring health crises of the modern world. Prehabilitation is a relatively new intervention aimed at preparing individuals for the stresses associated with treatment from diagnosis. Prehabilitation can include exercise, psychological and nutrition-based interventions. The pres…

BACKGROUND: Dissecting free tissue flaps can be challenging and time-consuming. Imaging technologies are typically used to assist with preoperative planning. However, conventional methods have limitations that could potentially be overcome by extended reality technologies. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the c…

OBJECTIVE: To describe and organize the current information available on  binary, ternary and/or quaternary mixtures used in opioid-free anesthesia (OFA), as well as their physicochemical stability, in order to  facilitate its correct administration, optimize its use, and prevent potential&#xa0…

OBJECTIVE:: To synthesise how post-stroke sexuality is experienced by stroke survivors and partners of stroke survivors. METHODS:: MEDLINE, PubMed, SCOPUS, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched from inception to May 2018 using a combination of relevant Medical Subject Headings and Free Text Terms. Only papers published in…

The overall design of the CIS at CPMC is heavily influenced by the decision support component. The type of automated decision support being implemented dictates the need for highly structured or coded data. The value of decision support systems has been well documented. The current reliance on free-text documents is na…

Powerful new electronic resources have greatly enhanced the ability of physicians to find current evidence to answer clinical questions. CD-ROM databases and World Wide Web access via the Internet provide convenient, up-to-date, easily searchable reference material for practicing physicians. The MEDLINE database is now…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the biomechanical performance of the application of polyethylene fiber and fiber-reinforced composite resins in direct restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An electronic search was performed in Cochrane Library, Embase, and Pubmed on January 16th, 2025, with previously identified MeSH and free tex…
