First Investigation Into the Use of Deep Learning for Continuous Assessment of Neonatal Postoperative Pain [PDF]
This paper presents the first investigation into the use of fully automated deep learning framework for assessing neonatal postoperative pain. It specifically investigates the use of Bilinear Convolutional Neural Network (B-CNN) to extract facial features during different levels of postoperative pain followed by modeling the temporal pattern using ...

Comparison of different automatic solutions for resection cavity segmentation in postoperative MRI volumes including longitudinal acquisitions [PDF]
In this work, we compare five deep learning solutions to automatically segment the resection cavity in postoperative MRI. The proposed methods are based on the same 3D U-Net architecture. We use a dataset of postoperative MRI volumes, each including four MRI sequences and the ground truth of the corresponding resection cavity.

Predicting Postoperative Nausea And Vomiting Using Machine Learning: A Model Development and Validation Study [PDF]
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequently observed complication in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Moreover, it is a frequent cause of distress and dissatisfaction during the early postoperative period. The tools used for predicting PONV at present have not yielded satisfactory results.

Time-dependent Clearance of Cyclosporine in Adult Renal Transplant Recipients: A Population Pharmacokinetic Perspective [PDF]
Aim The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of cyclosporine (CsA) in renal transplant recipients are patient- and time-dependent. Knowledge of this time-related variability is necessary to maintain or achieve CsA target exposure. Here, we aimed to identify factors explaining variabilities in CsA PK properties and characterise time-dependent clearance (CL/F)
