Identifying Applied Aspects, Medical Fields, and Technological Trends in Developing Future Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Telemedicine

Introduction: Parallel with the growth of technologies, which affect the telemedicine, timely identification of telemedicine entrepreneurial opportunities seems to be necessary for the product development. This study aimed to identify appli...

Collaboration in times of COVID-19: the urgent need for open-data sharing in Latin America

Deep learning prediction of pathological complete response in breast cancer using Mamba architecture

Abstract Deep learning is capable of efficiently predicting the therapeutic efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer. However, current methods predominantly rely on convolutional neural networks or transformer architectur...

Challenges of Evaluation in Medical Informatics

The current situation and future of medical informatics

Medical informatics is a science dealing with the storage,retrieval and optimal use of information, data and knowledge of biomedicine so that decisions could be made and problems solved in the process of health management, clinical control ...

Medical informatics and telemedicine: A vision

The goal of medical informatics is to improve care. This requires the commitment and harmonious collaboration between the computer scientists and clinicians and an integrated database. The vision described is how medical information systems...

Indivisibility and Variety of Medical Informatics

Summary In recent editorials it has been pointed out that medical informatics, seen as comprehensive health care informatics, should be understood as the science of information processing and engineering of automated information systems wit...

Medical Informatics and Pediatrics-Reply

We, too, are pleased by the contributions that theArchiveshas made to the medical informatics literature. It is noteworthy that from a historical perspective, the American Journal of Diseases of Children had a reputation for publishing land...

Identification of brain regions predicting epileptogenesis by serial [18F]GE-180 positron emission tomography imaging of neuroinflammation in a rat model of temporal lobe epilepsy

Excessive activation of inflammatory signaling pathways seems to be a hallmark of epileptogenesis. Positron emission tomography (PET) allows in vivo detection of brain inflammation with spatial information and opportunities for longitudinal...

Oxygen nanobubbles of ICG dimers achieve self-cascade photothermal and photodynamic therapy for hypoxia-reversible tumor treatment

Simultaneous photothermal and photodynamic therapies (PTT and PDT) hold great promise for noninvasive tumor therapy. However, effective regulation of PTT and PDT with optimal synergistic effects remains a challenge. To date, there are only ...

Medical informaticsʼ promised land

A decade ago, a "promised land" was envisioned in which the true potential of medical informatics would be realized. A decade later, it is time to assess academic medicine's progress in its journey into this medical informatics promised lan...

Uncertainty and Decisions in Medical Informatics

This paper presents a tutorial introduction to the handling of uncertainty and decision-making in medical reasoning systems. It focuses on the central role of uncertainty in all of medicine and identifies the major themes that arise in rese...

Theory, Abstraction and Design in Medical Informatics

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the scientific and engineering components of Medical Informatics. A clear characterization of these components should be undertaken to categorize different areas of Medical Informatics and create a research agenda for ...

Early Retinal Microvascular Alterations in Young Type 1 Diabetic Patients without Clinical Retinopathy

The purpose of this study is to identify and quantify preclinical changes with the help of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) within the retinal microcirculation of young type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients without clinical signs of...

From Connectivity to Controllability: Unraveling the Brain Biomarkers of Major Depressive Disorder

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a significant neurological condition associated with aberrations in brain functional networks. Traditional studies have predominantly analyzed these from a network topology perspective. However, given the ...

A genome-wide association study on meat consumption in a Japanese population: the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort study

Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on the dietary habits of the Japanese population have shown that an effect rs671 allele was inversely associated with fish consumption, whereas it was directly associated with coffee consumption...

Functional neuroimaging of visuospatial working memory tasks enables accurate detection of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder

Finding neurobiological markers for neurodevelopmental disorders, such as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a major objective of clinicians and neuroscientists. We examined if functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMR...
