Central vein sign: A diagnostic biomarker in multiple sclerosis (CAVS-MS) study protocol for a prospective multicenter trial

The specificity and implementation of current MRI-based diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) are imperfect. Approximately 1 in 5 of individuals diagnosed with MS are eventually determined not to have the disease, with overrelianc...

plsMD: a plasmid reconstruction tool from short-read assemblies

Abstract Background While whole genome sequencing has become a cornerstone of antimicrobial resistance surveillance, the reconstruction of plasmid sequences from short-read data remains a challenge due to repetitive sequences and assembly f...

Evaluation of the Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors (QLACS) scale for long-term cancer survivors in a sample of breast cancer survivors

Abstract Background This paper evaluates psychometric properties of a recently developed measure focusing on the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of long-term cancer survivors, the Quality of Life in Adult Survivors scale (QLACS), in a...

Multi-label classification of fundus images based on graph convolutional network

Abstract Background Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common and serious microvascular complication in the diabetic population. Using computer-aided diagnosis from the fundus images has become a method of detecting retinal diseases, but...

Health-related quality of life in Chinese population with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a national multicenter survey

Abstract Background Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) is a multi-dimensional construct that can comprehensively evaluate the patient’s health status, including physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. In this study, we aimed t...

Denosumab and Bisphosphonate Treatment of Osteoporosis in Renal Transplant Recipients

Objective: Kidney transplant recipients are at risk of losing bone mineral density. Osteoporosis and fractures cause serious complications in renal transplant recipients. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bisphosphonate and de...

Evaluating an LLM-assisted workflow for clinical documentation: A pilot randomized controlled trial on time and quality.

Large language models (LLMs) have been investigated for clinical documentation, with concerns about hallucinations and factual errors. Clinician review and revision of LLM-generated drafts are considered essential; however, the impact of su...

Requirements for Vitiligo Registry Design in Iran: A Qualitative Content Analysis Study

Background: Vitiligo is a prevalent skin disorder that has significant biological and social consequences for the affected individuals. Therefore, appropriate measures should be taken to diagnose this disease and treat patients, and powerfu...

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...

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...
