“…Volumes of interest were drawn to identify different myocardium regions (ischemia center, peri-ischemia area and remote area). Standardized uptake values (SUVs) (SUV(mean) and SUV(max)) were analyzed to evaluate the FDG uptake activity, and then the center/remote ratio was calculated. …”

“…Multimorbidity costing studies typically consider only a limited number of disease combinations, and few have been conducted in low- and middle-income countries and Europe. Rigorous and standardized methods of data collection and costing for multimorbidity should be developed to provide more comprehensive and comparable evidence for the costs of multimorbidity. …”

“…METHODS: In the new design, we stress three aspects for reconciling observational studies and RCTs on transfusion safety: (1) re-definition of the study population according to a stable hemoglobin range (gray zone of transfusion decision; 7.5–9.5 g/dL in this study); (2) selection of comparison groups according to a trigger value (last hemoglobin measurement before transfusion; nadir during hospital stay for control); (3) dealing with patient heterogeneity according to standardized mean difference (SMD) values. We applied the new design to hospitalized older patients (aged ≥60 years) undergoing general surgery at four academic/teaching hospitals. …”

“…A systematic review was pursued to determine which features exhibited a greater predictive power for AF recurrence, and they were inquired to the system for the mentioned participants. After the standardization of the variables and a feature selection process, several missing value imputation methods and around 12 different Machine Learning algorithms were tested to predict the AF recurrence in a subset of patients who developed AF in the first semester of 2015, in order to select the algorithms with the highest prediction accuracy for further tests. …”
