IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 828: An Integrated System of Multifaceted Machine Learning Models to Predict If and When Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries (Bedsores) Occur
Grath Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injury (HAPI), known as bedsore or decubitus ulcer, is one of the most common health conditions in the United States. Machine learning has been used to predict HAPI. This is insufficient information for the clinical team because knowing who would develop HAPI in the future does not help differentiate the severity of those predicted cases. This research develops an integrated system of multifaceted machine learning models to predict if and when HAPI occurs. Phase 1 integrates Genetic Algorithm with Cost-Sensitive Support Vector Machine (GA-CS-SVM) to handle the high imbalance HAPI datase...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 796: Machine Learning Techniques, Applications, and Potential Future Opportunities in Pressure Injuries (Bedsores) Management: A Systematic Review
Grath Pressure Injuries (PI) are one of the most common health conditions in the United States. Most acute or long-term care patients are at risk of developing PI. Machine Learning (ML) has been utilized to manage patients with PI, in which one systematic review describes how ML is used in PI management in 32 studies. This research, different from the previous systematic review, summarizes the previous contributions of ML in PI from January 2007 to July 2022, categorizes the studies according to medical specialties, analyzes gaps, and identifies opportunities for future research directions. PRISMA guidelines were adopt...

New vegetable-waste biomaterials by Lupin albus L. as cellular scaffolds for applications in biomedicine and food
Biomaterials. 2022 Dec 23;293:121984. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121984. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe reprocessing of vegetal-waste represents a new research field in order to design novel biomaterials for potential biomedical applications and in food industry. Here we obtained a biomaterial from Lupinus albus L. hull (LH) that was characterized micro-structurally by scanning electron microscopy and for its antimicrobial and scaffolding properties. A good adhesion and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) seeded on LH scaffold were observed. Thanks to its high content of cellulose and beneficial ...

Steps parameters of elderly patients hospitalised for an acute medical illness in a Swiss University Hospital: a monocentric observational pilot-study
CONCLUSION: During a hospitalisation for an acute medical illness, patients aged ≥65 years walk a mere 603 steps daily and most of the time for periods of less than 30 seconds. This information should be used to build up future interventional trials or to set mobility goals for patients hospitalised in Swiss hospitals.PMID:36534909 | DOI:10.57187/smw.2022.40012 (Source: Swiss Medical Weekly)

Isolation, characterization, and antibacterial activity of lytic bacteriophage against methicillin-resistant < em > Staphylococcus aureus < /em > causing bedsore and diabetic wounds
CONCLUSION: The isolated phage was effective against MRSA strains and it can be an optional strategy of controlling biofilm development.PMID:36531807 | PMC:PMC9723423 | DOI:10.18502/ijm.v14i5.10967 (Source: Iranian Journal of Microbiology)
