This document summarizes a study that analyzed the association between postmenopausal hormone therapy and cardiovascular disease using data from the Nurses' Health Study. Over 70,000 postmenopausal nurses were followed through questionnaires for up to 20 years. The study found that current hormone therapy was associated with a decreased risk of major coronary events but a modest increase in stroke risk at higher doses. Previous publications from this study had endorsed hormone therapy for cardiovascular disease prevention but this study's conclusions were more cautious given other research linking hormone therapy to increased breast cancer risk.
This document presents a Bayesian semiparametric framework for analyzing semicompeting risks data where the observation of time to a non-terminal event (e.g. hospital readmission) is subject to a terminal event (e.g. death). The framework models the hazards of the non-terminal and terminal events using a shared frailty illness-death model, accounting for dependence between events. It allows researchers to estimate regression parameters, characterize event dependence, and predict outcomes. The framework is applied to Medicare data on pancreatic cancer patients to investigate risks of readmission and death.
This document reports on a study that assessed the prevalence of asthma symptoms among elementary and middle school students in Kurdistan Province, Iran. A questionnaire was distributed to 4,000 students aged 6-7 and 13-14 years, with a 97% response rate. The prevalence of wheezing in the past 12 months was found to be 26.5% overall. The prevalence of physician-diagnosed asthma was 3.9%. There were statistically significant differences in prevalence rates between different cities in the province. The study found a relatively high prevalence of wheezing and asthma among students in Kurdistan province compared to other similar studies.
Case reports and studies may be defined as the non-experimental description of an individual or a few of cases in terms of new or unusual presentation of the diseases, an unexpected disease course or pathophysiology, and new effects (either beneficial or detrimental) of existing medications or procedures. Although they suffer from the non-experimental nature and other potential bias and errors, case reports and studies have played and will continue to play an important part in the advancement of medicine. They often serve as "primers" leading to discoveries of new diseases/disease pathophysiology as well as development of new preventive and therapeutic measures. Case reports and case studies are also employed as a platform for the training of medical students and/or resident doctors in scientific writing and critical thinking. Although the significance of case reports and studies in medicine has being recognized since the early stage of development of clinical medicine, their value needs to be appreciated in the context of modern clinical research design and the hierarchy of strength of evidence for guiding patient care. This paper discusses case reports and studies within the big picture of clinical research, research design, and evidence-based practice.

ML to Cure the World:
The practice of medicine involves diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Recent technological breakthroughs have made little dent to the centuries-old system of practicing medicine: complex diagnostic decisions are still mostly dependent on “educated” work-ups of the doctors, and rely on somewhat outdated tools and incomplete data. All of this often leads to imperfect, biased, and, at times, incorrect diagnosis and treatment.
With a growing research community as well as tech companies working on AI advances to medicine, the hope for healthcare renaissance is definitely not lost. The emphasis of this talk will be on ML-driven medicine. We will discuss recent AI advancements for aiding medical decision including language understanding, medical knowledge base construction and diagnosis systems. We will discuss the importance of personalized medicine that takes into account not only the user, but also the context, and other metadata. We will also highlight challenges in designing ML-based medical systems that are accurate, but at the same time engaging and trustworthy for the user.

Application of Support Vector Machine Modeling and Graph Theory Metrics for Disease Classification:
Disease classification is a crucial element of biomedical research. Recent studies have demonstrated that machine learning techniques, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) modeling, produce similar or improved predictive capabilities in comparison to the traditional method of Logistic Regression. In addition, it has been found that social network metrics can provide useful predictive information for disease modeling. In this study, we combine simulated social network metrics with SVM to predict diabetes in a sample of data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. In this dataset, Logistic Regression outperformed SVM with ROC index of 81.8 and 81.7 for models with and without graph metrics, respectively. SVM with a polynomial kernel had ROC index of 72.9 and 75.6 for models with and without graph metrics, respectively. Although this did not perform as well as Logistic Regression, the results are consistent with previous studies utilizing SVM to classify diabetes.

This study examined the relationship between type 2 diabetes and Parkinson's disease in a cohort of over 21,000 US male physicians over 23 years:
1) Men with a history of type 2 diabetes had a 34% increased risk of Parkinson's disease compared to non-diabetic men.
2) The highest risk was seen in those with short-duration, older-onset diabetes without complications.
3) Differences in diabetes incidence between Parkinson's patients and controls were greatest near the time of Parkinson's diagnosis, suggesting detection bias rather than a causal relationship.

Grant Detail: Failure to isolate patients with pulmonary tuberculosis as a patient safety issue:
Defining the problem and estimating its associated costs
Despite advances in its control and prevention, tuberculosis (TB) is an important patient safety issue
in the US. Texas and other three states account for over half of the US cases. Healthcare Associated
TB exposure cohorts continue to occur despite implementation of the CDC’s recommendations for
infection prevention, causing significant costs for healthcare systems. However, recent data on
factors predicting the clinical features of TB cases leading to exposures, and the costs of contact
tracings for healthcare systems are not available. This should be researched in order ensure a safe
environment for patients.

Role: Contributor % Effort: 3
Total Costs:
Grant Detail: This application attempts to challenge the current clinical paradigm [38] in glioblastoma
of uniform treatment for all patients with an anitangiogenic agent to a more individualized treatment
regimen based on molecular biomarkers that define the individual tumor’s level of hypoxia, and uses
that hypoxia as a target of therapy. This approach is novel, and attempts to refine the potential
integration of molecular imaging and biomarker analysis as predictive tools. Moreover, this proposal
makes use of a new category of therapeutic; the hypoxia activated pro-drug TH-302, in an attempt to
improve survival of an orphan disease with dismal outcomes.
