Resumen
This thesis advances the understanding of the application of artificial neural networks ensemble to clinical data by addressing the following fundamental question: What is the potentiality of an ensemble of neural networks models as a filter and classifier in a complex clinical situation? A novel neural networks ensemble classification model called Rules and Information Driven by Consistency in Artificial Neural Networks Ensemble (RIDCANNE) is developed for the purpose of prediction of medical outcomes or events, such as kidney transplants. The proposed classification model is based on combina

Resumen
With the importance of medical images for disease diagnosis and prognosis becoming widely recognized, medical image analysis has drawn much attention among researchers and clinicians. The goal of medical image analysis is to identify diagnostic and prognostic information from medical images and to establish diagnosis/prognosis models for assisting in clinical decision making and personalized treatments. Deep learning-based methods have achieved great success in computer vision research. This success is mainly attributed to its outstanding ability to learn high-level pattern representations fro

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting 1-2 % of the population in the world. People diagnosed with epilepsy are put at high risk of getting injured due to the unpredictable seizures caused by the disorder. Electroencephalography (EEG) in combination with machine learning can be used for prediction of an epileptic seizure. Therefore, a portable prediction device is of great interest with high emphasis for it to be user-friendly. One way to achieve this is by minimizing the number of electrodes placed on the scalp.

Resumen
Accurate mortality prediction in intensive care units (ICUs) allows for the risk adjustment of study populations, aids in patient care and provides a method for benchmarking overall hospital and ICU performance. ICU risk-adjustment models are primarily comprised of an integer severity of illness score which increases with increasing patient risk of mortality. First published in the 1980s, the improvements to these scores primarily consisted of increasing the dimensionality of the model, and hence also increasing their complexity. This thesis aims to improve upon these models. First, the field

Because tobacco smoking causes 430,000 U.S. deaths annually, wide-reaching smoking bans are needed.

Therefore, bans may prevent future generations from suffering many smoking-related health problems. The federal government has not implemented widereaching smoking bans so it falls on individual states, counties, or communities to devise appropriate smoking policy.

Resumen
WN virus has spread for over 60 years creating endemic and epidemic areas throughout Africa, Asia, and Europe, affecting human, bird, and equine populations. Its 1999 appearance in New York shows the ability of the virus to cross barriers and travel great distances, emerging into new territories previously free of infection. Spreading much faster than expected, WN virus has infected thousands of birds, equine, and humans throughout the conterminous United States (US). Case and serological studies performed in the Eastern hemisphere prior to 1999 offer detailed descriptions of endemic and ep

Resumen
Approximately half of all emergency department (ED) visits are primary-care sensitive (PCS) – meaning that they could potentially be avoided with timely, effective primary care. Reducing undesirable types of healthcare utilization (including PCS ED use) requires the ability to define, measure, and predict such use in a population. In this retrospective, observational study, we quantified ED use in 2 privately insured populations and developed ED risk prediction models. One dataset, obtained from a Massachusetts managed-care network (MCN), included data from 2009-11. The second was the MarketSc

Resumen
Solubility is the concentration of a solute in a saturated solution at a given temperature and pressure. Solubility of a drug in aqueous media is a pre-requisite to achieve desired concentration of a drug in the systemic circulation. Low aqueous solubility is a major problem encountered with formulation development of recently designed new chemical entities. Solubility of poorly soluble drugs is enhanced by physical and chemical modifications of drug. Shake flask method is the most commonly used experimental method to determine solubility. However, this method has several limitations. A single
