NimbleMiner: An Open-Source Nursing-Sensitive Natural Language Processing System Based on Word EmbeddingThis study develops and evaluates an open-source software (called NimbleMiner) that allows clinicians to interact with word embedding models with a goal of creating lexicons of similar terms. As a case study, the system was used to identify similar terms for patient fall history from homecare visit notes (N = 1 149 586) extracted from a large US homecare agency. Several experiments with parameters...

Patient-controlled Sedation During Flexible Bronchoscopy: A Randomized Controlled TrialBackground: Patient-controlled sedation (PCS) is a documented method for endoscopic procedures considered to facilitate early recovery. Limited data have been reported, however, on its use during flexible bronchoscopy (FB). Materials and Methods: This study hypothesized that PCS with propofol during FB would facilitate early recovery, with similar bronchoscopist and patient satisfaction compared with nurse-controlled...

A Critical Evaluation of Current Methods for Exercise Prescription in Women and MenCommon methods to prescribe exercise intensity are based on fixed-percentages of maximum rate of oxygen uptake (V[Combining Dot Above]O2max), peak work rate (WRpeak), maximal heart rate (HRmax). However, it is unknown how these methods compare to the current models to partition the exercise intensity spectrum. Purpose Thus, the aim of this study was to compare contemporary gold-standard approaches for exercise prescription...

Transfusion of Anaerobically or Conventionally Stored Blood After Hemorrhagic ShockBackground: Resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock (HS) by blood transfusion restores oxygen (O2) delivery and provides hemodynamic stability. Current regulations allow red blood cells (RBCs) to be stored and used for up to 42 days. During storage, RBCs undergo many structural and functional changes. These storage lesions have been associated with adverse events and increased mortality after transfusion, increasing the...

Sequential neural information processing in nidopallium caudolaterale of pigeons during the acquisition process of operant conditioningThe avian nidopallium caudolaterale, a key region of information integration and processing, is considered to be playing an important role in operant conditioning acquisition and extinction. To reveal sequential neural information processing in the process, neural signals of different experimental periods (induction, acquisition, and extinction) from the nidopallium...

Biomarkers, measured during therapy, for response of melanoma patients to immune checkpoint inhibitors: a systematic reviewImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), which target CTLA-4 or PD-(L)1 molecules, have shown impressive therapeutic results. Durable responses, however, are only observed in a segment of the patient population and must be offset against severe off-target immune toxicity and high costs. This calls for biomarkers that predict response during ICI treatment. Although many candidate...
