Contemporary and Emerging Therapies in the Management of Refractory Angina: A Clinical Review

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Refractory angina (RA) represents a growing challenge in clinical cardiology, particularly in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and who are not candidates for revascularization.

An observation‐driven state‐space model for claims size modelling

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract State‐space models are popular in econometrics. Recently, these models have gained some popularity in the actuarial literature. The best known state‐space models are of the Kalman‐filter type. These are called parameter‐driven because the observations do not impact the state‐space dynamics.

Hi, how can I help you?: Automating enterprise IT support help desks

, 2017
Question answering is one of the primary challenges of natural language understanding. In realizing such a system, providing complex long answers to questions is a challenging task as opposed to factoid answering as the former needs context ...

On the sensitivity of patient‐specific IMRT QA to MLC positioning errors

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2009
Accurate multileaf collimator (MLC) leaf positioning plays an essential role in the effective implementation of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). This work evaluates the sensitivity of current patient‐specific IMRT quality assurance (QA) procedures to minor MLC leaf positioning errors.

The Prevention of Eating Disorders in Australian Adolescents: A Modeled Cost‐Effectiveness Study

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prevention programs for eating disorders (EDs) have the potential to reduce the onset of these diseases and improve the mental health and well‐being of the general population. However, there is mixed evidence on whether routine implementation of such programs at the population level is cost‐effective.

Case report: Clinical workflow considerations for treating soft-tissue sarcoma on a 1.5-T MR-Linac

Technical Innovations & Patient Support in Radiation Oncology
We present specific issues that arose when using a 1.5-Tesla MR-Linac to treat a series of 4 soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) patients. These issues arose from the combination of typical STS attributes (long, off-axis target) and MR-Linac design-specific ...

Information Preserving Component Analysis: Data Projections for Flow Cytometry Analysis

, 2008
Flow cytometry is often used to characterize the malignant cells in leukemia and lymphoma patients, traced to the level of the individual cell. Typically, flow cytometric data analysis is performed through a series of 2-dimensional projections onto the ...

Anatomy‐based, patient‐specific VMAT QA using EPID or MLC log files

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2015
In this project, we investigated the use of an electronic portal imaging device (EPID), together with the treatment planning system (TPS) and MLC log files, to determine the delivered doses to the patient and evaluate the agreement between the treatment plan and the delivered dose distribution. The QA analysis results are presented for 15 VMAT patients

Real world testing and cost‐effectiveness analysis of subcutaneous EEG (REAL‐ASE): Protocol for a prospective multicentre interventional trial

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Epilepsy is a common condition associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. Poor documentation of seizures is a major challenge in epilepsy care. Objective seizure counting with mobile devices may mitigate this challenge and improve patient management.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.
