Shorter laboratory turnaround time is associated with shorter emergency department length of stay: a retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background A longer emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is associated with poor outcomes. Shortening EDLOS is difficult, due to its multifactorial nature. A potential way to improve EDLOS is through shorter turnaround times for diagnostic testing.

Preparing data for pathological artificial intelligence with clinical-grade performance [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
[Purpose] The pathology is decisive for disease diagnosis, but relies heavily on the experienced pathologists. Recently, pathological artificial intelligence (PAI) is thought to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. However, the high performance of PAI based on deep learning in the laboratory generally cannot be reproduced in the clinic. [Methods]

Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by a multidrug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strain belonging to a novel single locus variant of ST23: first case report in China

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background Endogenous endophthalmitis caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (HVKP) is an emerging infectious disease commonly with a devastating visual outcome. Most HVKP strains display a wild-type susceptibility profile to antibiotics. However,

Uncertainty estimations methods for a deep learning model to aid in clinical decision-making -- a clinician's perspective [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Prediction uncertainty estimation has clinical significance as it can potentially quantify prediction reliability. Clinicians may trust 'blackbox' models more if robust reliability information is available, which may lead to more models being adopted into clinical practice. There are several deep learning-inspired uncertainty estimation techniques, but

The solution supramolecular structure of α2 → 8 polysialic acid suggests a structural cause for its low immunogenicity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
α2 → 8 polysialic acid elicits poor immunogenicity. Small‐angle scattering shows a supramolecular structure with parallel‐chain binding, although in different forms at μm and mm calcium. The major histocompatibility complex requires molecular weights around 2000 Da to produce antibodies, and 2000 Da polysialic oligomers will bind in these structures ...
