Applying machine learning to pharmacovigilance data: A proof‐of‐concept study
Aim Machine learning (ML) applications in pharmacovigilance remain limited and underexplored. Using data from the French National pharmacovigilance database (FNPV), this proof‐of‐concept study aimed to assess the feasibility of using a ML algorithm—eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost)—combined with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis, to ...

Development of a nalmefene formulation suitable for a community‐use auto‐injector
Aim Time to onset of reversal is critical when treating opioid‐induced respiratory depression and hypoxia. This study aimed to develop a formulation of the opioid antagonist nalmefene with an increased absorption rate and reduced time to onset of reversal following intramuscular administration. Methods Several absorption enhancers were screened in rats,

Tunable amylopectin graft copolymers for flocculating and dewatering iron ore tailings
Abstract Polyacrylamide (PAM), the standard flocculant for mining tailings, often produces turbid supernatants and poorly dewatered sediments, limiting water reuse and tailings densification. We synthesized amylopectin‐graft‐poly[(2‐methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (AP‐g‐PMETAC) copolymers with systematically varied graft frequency (N =

Copula‐based joint modelling of emergency department visits with time‐varying dependence
Abstract Jointly modelling multiple correlated count time series is essential in health services research, where outcomes like emergency visits for mental health and substance use often evolve together. Ignoring these dependencies can obscure meaningful trends and limit the effectiveness of policy evaluation.
