Enhancing AI Accessibility in Veterinary Medicine: Linking Classifiers and Electronic Health Records [PDF]
In the rapidly evolving landscape of veterinary healthcare, integrating machine learning (ML) clinical decision-making tools with electronic health records (EHRs) promises to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care. However, the seamless integration of ML classifiers into existing EHRs in veterinary medicine is frequently hindered by the rigidity ...

Chondrocyte Heterogeneity; It Is the Time to Update the Understanding of Cartilage Histology [PDF]
Chondrocytes were described as one cell populations in most cartilage literature. Two different chondrocyte populations; dark and light, were described in the articular cartilage and a third population, adipochondrocytes, was described in the elastic cartilage.

Fine-tuning foundational models to code diagnoses from veterinary health records [PDF]
Veterinary medical records represent a large data resource for application to veterinary and One Health clinical research efforts. Use of the data is limited by interoperability challenges including inconsistent data formats and data siloing. Clinical coding using standardized medical terminologies enhances the quality of medical records and ...
