Medical Informatics: Concepts and Applications

Medical Informatics is a developing body of knowledge concerned with the use of information and communication technology in support of medical research, education and also for promoting health care delivery. The field focuses on the biomedi...

Beyond the Superhighway: Exploiting the Internet with Medical Informatics

As in other areas of society, the Internet and the World Wide Web are becoming important topics in medical informatics. This is evident from the recent American Medical Informatics Association's 1996 Annual Fall Symposium, where the theme w...

Recommendations of the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology for Education and Training in Medical Informatics

In the fields of health care and medicine there is an immense demand for a systematic application of methods of information processing and for the use of computers. Obviously, to that end well-trained scientists and qualified personnel must...

Argumentation approaches for explanaible AI in medical informatics

Artificial Intelligence algorithms are powerful in performing accurate predictions, but they are often considered black boxes as they do not provide any explanation about how outputs are derived from inputs or why a decision is taken. There...

Psychogeriatrics and Medical Informatics

The rapid growth of the field of psychogeriatrics, spurred on by aging populations, substantially increased funding, and growing interest by professionals, government, and society, has led, in turn, to a rapid growth of medical information....

A Theorem for Medical Informatics

An analytical structure which defines the information domains for any medical computer project is proposed, and its use is discussed. The field of medical informatics lacks a comprehensive way to describe the limits and content of the infor...

Artificial Intelligence And Medical Informatics

This review considers the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical informatics. It begins by describing artificial intelligence and then places it in the context of medical computing. Knowledge processing is emphasized. Following a b...

The Renewed Promise of Medical Informatics

The promise of the field of Medical Informatics has been great and its impact has been significant. In 1999, the Yearbook editors of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) - also the authors of the present paper - sought t...

Five Periods in Development of Medical Informatics

Medical informatics, as scientific discipline, has to do with all aspects of understanding and promoting the effective organization, analysis, management, and use of information in health care. While the field of Medical informatics shares ...

Medical informatics as a market for IS/IT.

Medical informatics is "the application of information science and information technology to the theoretical and practical problems of biomedical research, clinical practice, and medical education." A key difference between the two streams ...

Medical informatics in postgraduate training

Medical informatics research trend analysis: A text mining approach

The objective of this research is to identify major subject areas of medical informatics and explore the time-variant changes therein. As such it can inform the field about where medical informatics research has been and where it is heading...

Data on biosynthesis of BPAF glucuronide, enzyme kinetics of BPAF glucuronidation, and molecular modeling

Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is in the body mainly metabolized to the corresponding bisphenol AF glucuronide (BPAF-G). While BPAF-G is not commercially available, enzyme-assisted synthesis of BPAF-G using the human recombinant enzyme UGT2A1, purific...

Fixed-parameter tractable sampling for RNA design with multiple target structures

Abstract Background The design of multi-stable RNA molecules has important applications in biology, medicine, and biotechnology. Synthetic design approaches profit strongly from effective in-silico methods, which substantially reduce the ne...

The Effectiveness of Digital Therapeutics Intervention in Oral Anticoagulation Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Objective: To summarize the key intervention characteristics and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of digital therapeutics (DTx) in patients receiving oral anticoagulation, with effectiveness evaluated using time in therapeutic range (T...

UPDATED GUIDELINE FOR VALIDATING WHOLE SLIDE IMAGING SYSTEMS FROM THE COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS

On the correspondence between the transcriptomic response of a compound and its effects on its targets

Abstract Better understanding the transcriptomic response produced by a compound perturbing its targets can shed light on the underlying biological processes regulated by the compound. However, establishing the relationship between the indu...

Missed Healthcare Visits During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Study

Introduction: Missed visits have been estimated to cost the U.S. healthcare system $50 billion annually and have been linked to healthcare inefficiency, higher rates of emergency department visits, and worse outcomes. COVID-19 disrupted exi...

Percutaneous CT-Guided Bone Lesion Biopsy for Confirmation of Bone Metastases in Patients with Breast Cancer

We aimed to determine diagnostic accuracy of CT-guided bone lesion biopsy for the confirmation of bone metastases in patients with breast cancer and assessment of hormone receptor status in metastatic tissue. A total of 56 female patients w...
