Climate change induced occupational stress and reported morbidity among cocoa farmers in South-Western Nigeria

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2015
Introduction and objective Climate change is one of the major development hurdles in many developing countries. The health outcome of farm households are related to climate change, which is related to several external and internal health-related issues ...

Modelling of a double‐scattering proton therapy nozzle using the FLUKA Monte Carlo code and analysis of linear energy transfer in patients treated for prostate cancer

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The dose‐averaged linear energy transfer (LETD) in proton therapy (PT) has in pre‐clinical studies been linked to the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of protons. Until recently, the most common PT delivery method in prostate cancer has been double‐scattered PT, with LETD only available through dedicated Monte Carlo (MC ...

Adverse Health Correlates of Intimate Partner Violence against Older Women: Mining Electronic Health Records [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is often studied as a problem that predominantly affects younger women. However, studies show that older women are also frequently victims of abuse even though the physical effects of abuse are harder to detect. In this study, we mined the electronic health records (EHR) available through IBM Explorys to identify health ...

Bone‐wise rigid registration of femur, tibia, and fibula for the tracking of temporal changes

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Multiple myeloma (MM) induces temporal alterations in bone structure, such as osteolytic bone lesions, which are challenging to identify through manual image interpretation. The large variation in radiologists' assessments, even at expert centers, further complicates diagnosis.

Assessing Mortality of Blunt Trauma with Co-morbidity [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Objectives: To obtain a better estimate of the mortality of individuals suffering from blunt force trauma, including co-morbidity. Methodology: The Injury severity Score (ISS) is the default world standard for assessing the severity of multiple injuries. ISS is a mathematical fit to empirical field data.

Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Analysis of co/multi-morbidities [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Although co/multi-morbidities are associated with significant increase in mortality, the lack of appropriate quantitative exploratory techniques often impede their analysis. In the current study, we study the clustering of multimorbid patients in the Texas patient population.

A multi-state model incorporating estimation of excess hazards and multiple time scales [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
As cancer patient survival improves, late effects from treatment are becoming the next clinical challenge. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, for example, potentially increase the risk of both morbidity and mortality from second malignancies and cardiovascular disease.

Psoriasis and Co-morbidity

Acta Dermato Venereologica, 2020
Psoriasis is associated with multiple co-morbid medical conditions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationships between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease, psoriatic arthritis, mental health conditions, and immune-mediated diseases, respectively.

CSF Tau Is a Biomarker of Hippocampal Injury in Cryptogenic New‐Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cryptogenic new‐onset refractory status epilepticus (cNORSE) is a devastating condition characterized by the de novo onset of status epilepticus with unclear etiology. The identification of relevant early biomarkers in cNORSE is important to elucidate pathophysiology, aid clinical decision‐making, and prognosticate outcomes in cNORSE.
