Modeling of diagnosis for metabolic syndrome by integrating symptoms into physiochemical indexes
CONCLUSION: Compared with SVM and DT models, the RF model showed the best performance, especially when the ratio of the training set to test set is 8:2. Compared with single predictive indexes, the model constructed by combining physiochemical indexes with TCM indexes (i.e. the fused indexes) exhibited better predictive ability. In addition to common physicochemical indexes, some TCM indexes, such as wiry pulse, chest tightness, spontaneous perspiration, greasy tongue coating, can also improve diagnosis of MS.PMID:33588265 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111367

Hybrid artificial fish particle swarm optimizer and kernel extreme learning machine for type-II diabetes predictive model
AbstractThe World Health Organization(WHO) estimated that in 2016, 1.6 million deaths caused were due to diabetes. Precise and on-time diagnosis of type-II diabetes is crucial to reduce the risk of various diseases such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and macrovascular problems. The non-invasive methods like machine learning are reliable and efficient in classifying the people subjected to type-II diabetics risk and healthy people into two different categories. This present study aims to develop a stacking-based integrated kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) model for...

Electronic Medical Record Risk Modeling of Cardiovascular Outcomes Among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
ConclusionsThe Ochsner model overestimated 5-year CHD risk, but had relatively higher calibration than the other models in CHD. Risk equations fitted for local populations improved cardiovascular risk stratification for patients with T2DM. Application of machine learning simplified the models compared to “generalized” risk equations.

Sensors, Vol. 21, Pages 5302: Automatic Detection of Short-Term Atrial Fibrillation Segments Based on Frequency Slice Wavelet Transform and Machine Learning Techniques
uang Zhou Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently encountered cardiac arrhythmia and is often associated with other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, chronic heart failure, and stroke. Automatic detection of AF by analyzing electrocardiogram (ECG) signals has an important application value. Using the contaminated and actual ECG signals, it is not enough to only analyze the atrial activity of disappeared P wave and appeared F wave in the TQ segment. Moreover, the best analysis method is to combine nonlinear features analyzing ventricular activity based on the detection ...

ERLEADA ® (apalutamide) Oral Presentations Demonstrate Importance of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) as Key Efficacy Indicator and Show Strong Patient Adherence Rates
September 11, 2021 (RARITAN, N.J.) – The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced new data demonstrating robust prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response and strong adherence rates in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) treated with ERLEADA® (apalutamide) in the real-world clinical setting. The strong PSA response was also seen in a separate post-hoc analysis that showed a correlation between rapid and deep PSA response and prolonged survival in both metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) and nmCRPC. The post-hoc analysis also suppor...

Bringing WISDOM to Breast Cancer Care
Dr. Laura Esserman answers the door of her bright yellow Victorian home in San Francisco’s Ashbury neighborhood with a phone at her ear. She’s wrapping up one of several meetings that day with her research team at University of California, San Francisco, where she heads the Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center. She motions me in and reseats herself at a makeshift home office desk in her living room, sandwiched between a grand piano and set of enormous windows overlooking her front yard’s flower garden. It’s her remote base of operations when she’s not seeing patients or operating at the hospita...

Interventions in outside-school hours childcare settings for promoting physical activity amongst schoolchildren aged 4 to 12 years
CONCLUSIONS: Although the review included nine trials, the evidence for how to increase children's physical activity in outside-school hours care settings remains limited, both in terms of certainty of evidence and magnitude of the effect. Of the types of interventions identified, when assessed using GRADE there was low-certainty evidence that multi-component interventions, with a specific physical activity goal may have a small increase in daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and a slight reduction in BMI. There was very low-certainty evidence that interventions increase cardiovascular fitness. By contrast there w...

Cardiovascular risk prediction in healthy older people
AbstractIdentification of individuals with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is important. However, algorithms specific to the elderly are lacking. Data were analysed from a randomised trial involving 18,548 participants  ≥ 70 years old (mean age 75.4 years), without prior cardiovascular disease events, dementia or physical disability. MACE included coronary heart disease death, fatal or nonfatal ischaemic stroke or myocardial infarction. Potential predictors tested were based on prior evidence and using a m achine-learning approach. Cox regression analyses were used to calculate 5-year p...
