A new CPXR Based Logistic Regression Method and Clinical Prognostic Modeling ...Vahid Taslimitehrani
Presented at 15th International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering (BIBE2014)
Prognostic modeling is central to medicine, as it is often used to predict patients’ outcome and response to treatments and to identify important medical risk factors. Logistic regression is one of the most used approaches for clinical pre- diction modeling. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important public health issue and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In this study, we adapt CPXR (Contrast Pattern Aided Regression, a recently introduced regression method), to develop a new logistic regression method called CPXR(Log), for general binary outcome prediction (including prognostic modeling), and we use the method to carry out prognostic modeling for TBI using admission time data. The models produced by CPXR(Log) achieved AUC as high as 0.93 and specificity as high as 0.97, much better than those reported by previous studies. Our method produced interpretable prediction models for diverse patient groups for TBI, which show that different kinds of patients should be evaluated differently for TBI outcome prediction and the odds ratios of some predictor variables differ significantly from those given by previous studies; such results can be valuable to physicians.
Semantic MEDLINE applies automatic summarization techniques to manage the semantic predications extracted from the biomedical literature by SemRep. It does so by selecting salient predications based on several criteria. In this study, we investigated a new technique to automatically summarize SemRep predications. Our technique leverages hierarchical relations from the UMLS Metathesaurus for aggregating the semantic predications. We also generated new inferences from the aggregated semantic predications. Several quantitative measures are dened to evaluate the system. We applied our method to summarize medications used to treat diseases and also adverse drug events reported in the biomedical literature. Our preliminary experimental results are promising in terms of summarization rate. They also indicate that less than half of the newly generated inferences correspond to existing relations. Further work is needed to evaluate the rest of the inferences.

The document discusses plans to redesign Essex Street in Salem, Massachusetts from a pedestrian mall to a "shared green street." Community input was gathered through public meetings. Several design options were proposed to allow different levels of pedestrian and vehicle flexibility. The recommended approach is to select a management scenario that increases activity during quiet months while enhancing pedestrian safety. Specific design interventions like stormwater management, public art, and street furniture were proposed to add vibrancy for varying levels of street sharing. Next steps include additional data collection, selecting a preferred sharing option, and exploring management and funding.

83. Conclusion
Providing increased access to historic assets allows visitors and residents
alike to reflect upon their shared history.The City of Richmond is well known
as a city founded on its history, and it is essential that this foundation be
understood. Efforts such as the Richmond LibertyTrail are essential to realizing
this greater goal.
The inclusion of amenities such as permanent trail markers and wayfinding
signage along the LibertyTrail route is the first step
in engaging the community and solidifying the trail’s regional identity. It is
critical that stakeholders in these initial improvements remain involved and
enthusiastic so that the trail may be utilized for expanded purposes in the future.

Editor's Notes
-The trail was created in April, 2013 as the result of a grass-roots effort led by professionals in the business, history, and tourism communities, listed below.
-The primary client for this plan is the Greater Richmond Chamber, as the Chamber has played a key role in funding initial trail development and marketing initiatives, and the Liberty Trail Committee exists under the GRC umbrella
-After the trail’s formation, it was gifted to the City of Richmond as it is located entirely on city property. Therefore, the City of Richmond Department of Economic and Community Development is the secondary client for this project
-After receiving a $10,000 grant from the Greater Richmond Chamber, the Liberty Trail Committee developed marketing tools, including a mobile app, to promote the trail. Part of the funding also went towards repainting the trail earlier this year

-The trail is 6.2 miles long and connects to both the Richmond Slave Trail and the Richmond portion of the Virginia Capital Trail
-The trail route is primarily located downtown and along the riverfront, and encompasses 50 historic sites within the city
-The current markers are temporary, and have to be spraypainted on. Sidewalk improvements and changes in the weather mean that these markers require frequent maintenance
-Grants from the Greater Richmond Chamber Foundation have funded certain aspects of trail development and maintenance, but the majority of funding has come from private donations, both cash and in-kind. In-kind donations include media coverage, volunteers, and supplies, such as spray paint and marketing kits
