<b>Background:</b> Utilization of the available observational healthcare datasets is key to complement and strengthen postmarketing safety studies. Use common data models (CDM) predominant approach in order enable large scale systematic analyses on disparate vocabularies. Current CDM transformation practices depend proprietarily developed Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) procedures, which require knowledge both semantics technical characteristics source target CDM. <b>Purpose:</b> In this study, our aim develop a modular but coordinated separate semantic steps processes, do not have strict separation traditional ETL approaches. Such an would discretize operations extract from electronic health record systems, alignment source, level populate repositories. <b>Approach:</b> activities that are required transform heterogeneous sources CDM, we introduce composed three steps: (1) Resource Description Framework (RDF) format, (2) application conversion rules get as instances ontological model (3) population repositories, comply with specifications by processing RDF step 2. The proposed has been implemented real settings where Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) chosen comprehensive comparative analysis between native transformed conducted. <b>Results:</b> Health records ~1 million patients successfully OMOP based database database. Descriptive statistics obtained databases present analogous consistent results. <b>Discussion Conclusion:</b> Our method goes beyond approaches being more declarative rigorous. Declarative because use mapping makes each transparent understandable humans while retaining logic-based computability. Rigorous mappings be computer readable amenable validation through inference methods.

This paper presents the Summed Parallel Infinite Impulse Response (SPIIR) pipeline used for public alerts during third advanced LIGO and Virgo observation run (O3 run). The SPIIR uses infinite impulse response (IIR) filters to perform extremely low-latency matched filtering this process is further accelerated with graphics processing units (GPUs). It first online select candidates from multiple detectors using a coherent statistic based on maximum network likelihood ratio principle. Here we simplify derivation of singular-value-decomposition (SVD) technique show that single-detector signal-to-noise ratios can be directly construct statistic. Coherent searches are in general more computationally challenging than coincidence due extra search over sky direction parameters. directions follows an embarrassing parallelization paradigm has been GPUs. detection performance reported segment data LIGO-Virgo's second run. We demonstrate median latency less 9 seconds, present achievable road map reduce 5 seconds. During O3 run, registered triggers associated 38 56 nonretracted alerts. extreme nature makes it competitive choice joint time-domain observations, offers tantalizing possibility making prior merger phase binary coalescence systems involving at least one neutron star.

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease caused by high blood sugar and pressure which damages the vessels in eye. root cause of more than 1% blindness worldwide. Early detection this crucial as it prevents from progressing to a severe level. However, current machine learning-based approaches for detecting severity level diabetic are either, i) rely on manually extracting features makes approach unpractical, or ii) trained small dataset thus cannot be generalized. In study, we propose transfer with accuracy. Our model deep learning based global average pooling (GAP) technique various pre-trained convolutional neural net- work (CNN) models. The experimental results our approach, best achieved 82.4% quadratic weighted kappa (QWK), corroborate ability detect efficiently.

The most severe clinical manifestations of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), are due to an unbalanced immune response and a pro-thrombotic hemostatic disturbance, with arterial hypertension or diabetes as acknowledged risk factors. While waiting for specific treatment, management hospitalized patients is still matter debate, effectiveness treatments manage comorbidities has been questioned. In this study, we aim assess impact hypertension, inflammation thrombosis on survival COVID-19 patients. Spanish cohorts included in observational retrospective study from HM Hospitales (2035 patients) Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias (72 patients). Kaplan Meier curves, Cox regression propensity score matching analyses were employed, considering demographic variables, treatment arms (when opportune) covariates. angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) inhibitors angiotensin receptor blockers not detrimental, was initially reported, neither use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). On contrary, our analysis shows that itself corticosteroids beneficial. Importantly, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) anticoagulant significantly improves These results delineate current options under supporting prophylaxis first-line without need compromising comorbidities, while suggesting cautiousness when administering corticosteroids.

Currently, many intelligent building energy management systems (BEMSs) are emerging for saving in new and existing buildings realizing a sustainable society worldwide. However, installing an BEMS does not realize innovative advanced because it only involves simple equipment replacement (i.e., of old or LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps) savings based on stand-alone system. Therefore, artificial intelligence (AI) is applied to implement optimization the latest ICT (Information Communications Technologies) technology. AI can analyze usage data, predict future requirements, establish appropriate policy. In this paper, we present dynamic heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) scheduling method that collects, analyzes, infers data intelligently save reinforcement learning (RL). regard, hotel used as testbed study. The proposed IoT from provide policy futuristic HVAC (heating system) system RL. Through process, purpose-oriented methodology achieve goals proposed.
