Background Sciatica has a substantial impact on patients, and is associated with high healthcare and societal costs. Although there is variation in the clinical management of sciatica, the current model of care usually involves an initial period of ‘wait

Applications of Machine Learning to the Identification of Anomalous ER Claims [PDF]
Improper health insurance payments resulting from fraud and upcoding result in tens of billions of dollars in excess health care costs annually in the United States, motivating machine learning researchers to build anomaly detection models for health insurance claims. This article describes two such strategies specifically for ER claims.

Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

TACE/ADAM17 substrates associate with ACS (Ep-CAM, HB-EGF) and follow-up MACE (TNFR1 and TNFR2)
Background and aims: TACE/ADAM17 is a membrane bound metalloprotease, which cleaves substrates involved in immune and inflammatory responses and plays a role in coronary artery disease (CAD).

In this explorative biomarker analysis, we assessed serial sampling of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with CellSearch in two randomized trials testing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic breast cancer. Our data demonstrate a prognostic potential of CTCs, most apparent 4 weeks into ICI therapy.

Asymptotic behavior of 2D stably stratified fluids with a damping term in the velocity equation [PDF]
This article is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the two-dimensional inviscid Boussinesq equations with a damping term in the velocity equation. Precisely, we provide the time-decay rates of the smooth solutions to that system. The key ingredient is a careful analysis of the Green kernel of the linearized problem in Fourier space, combined ...
