Comparative Study of CUDA GPU Implementations in Python With the Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm for LASSO

A general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) is employed in a variety of domains, including accelerating the spread of deep natural network models; however, further research into its effective implementation is needed. When using the compute unified devic...

Longevity of dental restorations in Sjogren’s disease patients using electronic dental and health record data

Abstract Background Decreased salivary secretion is not only a risk factor for carious lesions in Sjögren’s disease (SD) but also an indicator of deterioration of teeth with every restorative replacement. This study determined the longevity...

The impact of the Affordable Care Act on patient coverage and access to care: perspectives from FQHC administrators in Arizona, California and Texas

Abstract Background The Affordable Care Act (ACA) enabled millions of people to gain coverage that was expected to improve access to healthcare services. However, it is unclear the extent of the policy’s impact on Federally Qualified Health...

Hospitalisations for physical abuse in infants and children less than 5 years, 2013‒2021: a multinational cohort study using administrative data from five European countries

Objectives Child physical abuse (CPA) is a global public health problem associated with lifelong negative consequences, yet reliable epidemiologic data are lacking. We did a multinational cohort study to analyse trends in CPA hospitalisatio...

Correction to: IGFM: An Enhanced Graph Similarity Computation Method with Fine‑Grained Analysis

A local meshless method for the one-dimensional Fisher’s equation

This study presents a novel local meshless approach for solving one-dimensional Fisher’s equation, combining a local scheme, Gaussian radial basis functions (G-RBF), and a collocation technique. The method leverages the Gaussian basis’s non...

Convergence rate of principal component analysis with local-linear smoother for functional data under a unified weighing scheme

The unified weighing scheme for the local-linear smoother in analysing functional data can deal with data that are dense, sparse or of neither type. In this paper, we focus on the convergence rate of functional principal component analysis ...

Effects of maternal exercise during pregnancy on neonatal weight and subcutaneous fat thickness

BackgroundExercise during pregnancy is closely related to maternal and infant health. Previous studies in developed countries have linked maternal exercise during pregnancy with newborn body weight as well as subcutaneous fat thickness. How...

Mapping Chinese Medical Entities to the Unified Medical Language System

Background. Chinese medical entities have not been organized comprehensively due to the lack of well-developed terminology systems, which poses a challenge to processing Chinese medical texts for fine-grained medical knowledge representatio...

‘Optimal’ cutoff selection in studies of depression screening tool accuracy using the PHQ‐9, EPDS, or HADS‐D: A meta‐research study

Abstract Objectives Optimal cutoff thresholds are selected to separate ‘positive’ from ‘negative’ screening results. We evaluated how depression screening tool studies select optimal cutoffs. Methods We included studies from previously cond...

Quantum computing in medical informatics

In an era of exponential technological advancements, the integration of quantum computing (QC) and medical informatics emerges as a captivating frontier, promising to unlock a new realm of possibilities for healthcare. QC, harnessing the pr...

The effect of structured medication review followed by face-to-face feedback to prescribers on adverse drug events recognition and prevention in older inpatients – a multicenter interrupted time series study

Abstract Background The effectiveness of interventions to improve medication safety in older inpatients is unclear, given a paucity of properly designed intervention studies applying clinically relevant endpoints such as hospital-acquired p...

Fusing content and social relationships: a multi-modal heterogeneous graph transformer approach for social bot detection

Abstract Social bots pose a significant threat to online platforms, demanding robust methods to detect their increasingly complex behaviors. This paper introduces MM-HGT-Bot, a multi-modal framework that advances the field by operationalizi...

Identifying urban features for vulnerable road user safety in Europe

Abstract One of the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to substantially reduce the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic collisions. To this aim, European cities adopted various urban mobility policies, whic...

A STUDY ON MEDICAL INFORMATICS

Medical informatics, a rapidly evolving field, plays a pivotal role in improving healthcare delivery, patient outcomes, and the overall healthcare system. This abstract provides an overview of the key concepts, applications, and impacts of ...

Publisher Correction: Endophenotype effect sizes support variant pathogenicity in monogenic disease susceptibility genes

Decoding cross-cultural textbook networks: structural patterns, formation mechanisms, and predictive insights using a topology–cognition framework

Abstract Conventional textbook analysis often faces fragmented frameworks, obscuring the relationship between content structure and cognitive development. To address this gap, we propose an integrative computational modeling framework that ...

Where Galaxies Go to Die: The Environments of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at 3 < z < 5

At low redshift, massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) are most frequently found in massive, rich galaxy clusters, but at high redshift the trend is less clear. Here, we present spectroscopic evidence of the effects of environment on the format...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...
