Assessing Health Care Interventions via an Interrupted Time Series Model: Study Power and Design Considerations [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
The delivery and assessment of quality health care is complex with many interacting and interdependent components. In terms of research design and statistical analysis, this complexity and interdependency makes it difficult to assess the true impact of interventions designed to improve patient health care outcomes.

Long non‐coding RNAs as therapeutic targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and clinical application

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

Analysis of Activities and Operations in the Current E-Health Landscape in Tanzania: Focus on Interoperability and Collaboration [PDF]

IJCSIS, 13(6) (2015), 2015
Although the basic application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the Tanzanian health care systems started years ago, still fragmentation of Information Systems (IS) and limited interoperability remain to be big challenges. In this paper, we present an analysis done on the present health care delivery service, HIS and on some of ...

Exploring the heterogeneous impacts of Indonesia's conditional cash transfer scheme (PKH) on maternal health care utilisation using instrumental causal forests [PDF]

arXiv
This paper uses instrumental causal forests, a novel machine learning method, to explore the treatment effect heterogeneity of Indonesia's conditional cash transfer scheme on maternal health care utilisation. Using randomised programme assignment as an instrument for enrollment in the scheme, we estimate conditional local average treatment effects for ...

End-to-End Performance Optimization in Hybrid Molecular and Electromagnetic Communications [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Telemedicine refers to the use of information and communication technology to assist with medical information and services. In health care applications, high reliable communication links between the health care provider and the desired destination in the human body play a central role in designing end-to-end (E2E) telemedicine system.
