Evaluation of appendicitis risk prediction models in adults with suspected appendicitis

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 1, Page 73-86, January 2020., 2020
Women in the UK had a disproportionate risk of admission without surgical intervention and had high rates of normal appendicectomy. Risk prediction models to support shared decision‐making were identified by identifying UK adults at low risk of appendicitis. An online calculator is available (http://appy‐risk.org).

Improving Feature Representation Based on a Neural Network for Author Profiling in Social Media Texts

open access: yesComputational Intelligence and Neuroscience, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
We introduce a lexical resource for preprocessing social media data. We show that a neural network‐based feature representation is enhanced by using this resource. We conducted experiments on the PAN 2015 and PAN 2016 author profiling corpora and obtained better results when performing the data preprocessing using the developed lexical resource.

Dendritic Spines and Development: Towards a Unifying Model of Spinogenesis—A Present Day Review of Cajal′s Histological Slides and Drawings

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Dendritic spines receive the majority of excitatory connections in the central nervous system, and, thus, they are key structures in the regulation of neural activity. Hence, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying their generation and plasticity, both during development and in adulthood, are a matter of fundamental and practical interest ...
