Real-world data medical knowledge graph: construction and applications
ConclusionThe established systematic procedure can efficiently construct a high-quality medical KG from large-scale EMRs. The proposed ranking function PSR achieves the best performance under all relations, and the disease clustering result validates the efficacy of the learned embedding vector as entity’s semantic representation. Moreover, the obtained KG finds many successful applications due to its statistics-based quadruplet.where Ncomin is a minimum co-occurrence number and R is the basic reliability value. The reliability value can measure how reliable is the relationship between Si and Oij. The reason for the defi...

Random Forest Enhancement using Improved Artificial Fish Swarm for the Medial Knee Contact Force Prediction
Publication date: Available online 3 February 2020Source: Artificial Intelligence in MedicineAuthor(s): Yean Zhu, Weiyi XU, Guoliang Luo, Haolun Wang, Jingjing Yang, Wei LuAbstractKnee Contact Force (KCF) is an important factor to evaluate the knee joint function for the patients with knee joint impairment. However, the KCF measurement based on the instrumented prosthetic implants or inverse dynamics analysis is limited due to the invasive, expensive price and time consumption. In this work, we propose a KCF prediction method by integrating the artificial fish swarm and the random forest algorithm. First, we train a random...

An Incremental Explanation of Inference in Bayesian Networks for Increasing Model Trustworthiness and Supporting Clinical Decision Making
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2020Source: Artificial Intelligence in MedicineAuthor(s): Evangelia Kyrimi, Somayyeh Mossadegh, Nigel Tai, William MarshAbstractVarious AI models are increasingly being considered as part of clinical decision-support tools. However, the trustworthiness of such models is rarely considered. Clinicians are more likely to use a model if they can understand and trust its predictions. Key to this is if its underlying reasoning can be explained. A Bayesian network (BN) model has the advantage that it is not a black-box and its reasoning can be explained. In this paper, we propose an i...

Mixed-Integer Optimization Approach to Learning Association Rules for Unplanned ICU Transfer
In this study, we present a new decision tool using a mathematical optimization approach aiming to automatically discover rules associating diagnostic features with high-risk outcome (i.e., unplanned transfers) in different deterioration scenarios. We consider four mutually exclusive patient subgroups based on the principal reasons of ED visits: infections, cardiovascular/respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and neurological/other diseases at a suburban teaching hospital. The analysis results demonstrate significant rules associated with unplanned transfer outcome for each subgroups and also show comparable pre...

Classification of glomerular hypercellularity using convolutional features and support vector machine
Publication date: Available online 25 January 2020Source: Artificial Intelligence in MedicineAuthor(s): Paulo Chagas, Luiz Souza, Ikaro Araújo, Nayze Aldeman, Angelo Duarte, Michele Angelo, Washington LC dos-Santos, Luciano OliveiraAbstractGlomeruli are histological structures of the kidney cortex formed by interwoven blood capillaries, and are responsible for blood filtration. Glomerular lesions impair kidney filtration capability, leading to protein loss and metabolic waste retention. An example of lesion is the glomerular hypercellularity, which is characterized by an increase in the number of cell nuclei in different ...

Batch Mode Active Learning on the Riemannian Manifold for Automated Scoring of Nuclear Pleomorphism in Breast Cancer
Publication date: Available online 25 January 2020Source: Artificial Intelligence in MedicineAuthor(s): Asha Das, Madhu S. Nair, David Peter S.AbstractBreast cancer is the most prevalent invasive type of cancer among women. The mortality rate of the disease can be reduced considerably through timely prognosis and felicitous treatment planning, by utilizing the computer aided detection and diagnosis techniques. With the advent of whole slide image (WSI) scanners for digitizing the histopathological tissue samples, there is a drastic increase in the availability of digital histopathological images. However, these samples are...

Prognostic Factors of Rapid Symptoms Progression in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Parkinson’s Disease
Publication date: Available online 21 January 2020Source: Artificial Intelligence in MedicineAuthor(s): Kostas M. Tsiouris, Spiros Konitsiotis, Dimitrios D. Koutsouris, Dimitrios I. FotiadisAbstractTracking symptoms progression in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a laborious endeavor as the disease can be expressed with vastly different phenotypes, forcing clinicians to follow a multi-parametric approach in patient evaluation, looking for not only motor symptomatology but also non-motor complications, including cognitive decline, sleep problems and mood disturbances. Being neurodegenerative in nature, PD i...
