Clinical benefit of adenosine as an adjunct to reperfusion in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients: An updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]
Background: Adenosine administered as an adjunct to reperfusion can reduce coronary no-reflow and limit myocardial infarct (MI) size in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Whether adjunctive adenosine therapy can improve clinical

AMFPMC -- An improved method of detecting multiple types of drug-drug interactions using only known drug-drug interactions [PDF]
Adverse drug interactions are largely preventable causes of medical accidents, which frequently result in physician and emergency room encounters. The detection of drug interactions in a lab, prior to a drug's use in medical practice, is essential, however it is costly and time-consuming.

NeuroCADR: Drug Repurposing to Reveal Novel Anti-Epileptic Drug Candidates Through an Integrated Computational Approach [PDF]
Drug repurposing is an emerging approach for drug discovery involving the reassignment of existing drugs for novel purposes. An alternative to the traditional de novo process of drug development, repurposed drugs are faster, cheaper, and less failure prone than drugs developed from traditional methods.

Medical Knowledge Graph QA for Drug-Drug Interaction Prediction based on Multi-hop Machine Reading Comprehension [PDF]
Drug-drug interaction prediction is a crucial issue in molecular biology. Traditional methods of observing drug-drug interactions through medical experiments require significant resources and labor. This paper presents a medical knowledge graph question answering model, dubbed MedKGQA, that predicts drug-drug interaction by employing machine reading ...
