Sleep apnea is a severe sleeping disorder in which a person experiences interruptive breathing or loud snoring. Long-term untreated or undiagnosed sleep apnea can cause several health problems, such as daytime sleepiness, ...
Accuracy in medical coding is a vital aspect in aiding clinical trial operation success. It has presented an excellent opportunity for medical coders, working hand-in-hand with AI-enhanced computer-assisted coding systems, to quickly identify and validate the correct codes. Using natural language processing (NLP) and advanced Machine Learning algorithms, AI is transforming medical coding by ...

In last October’s newsletter, Sterlitech announced the availability of kits for performing the Kato-Katz analysis technique for Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis (STH) in field-based applications, signifying the first time that these kits were available from a source in the United States. Prior to this, the efforts of research groups and health organizations could be hampered by limited ...
CT scans interpretation is no longer strictly related to the machine. They can be analysed with specialised software that allows for diagnosis, surgical and dental procedures planning. So, medical doctors can analyse and determine the step–by–step procedure in the actual phase with a computer. There are presented some real examples computed with Mimics software. Keywords: CT scans, ...
Medical information systems have recently gained momentum as a proof-of-concept of the efficiency of new support-oriented technologies, in particular, semantic technologies. In principle, diagnosis or medicine advisory and recommendation can change the current biomedical IT landscape, providing intelligent reasoning and inference support. This paper presents S-SoDiA, a social diagnosis advisor ...
The diagnosis of clinically mute diabetes mellitus (DM) is based on a nominal concentration of fasting peripheral venous plasma glucose (f-vPG) at ≥7.0mmol/l, to be exceeded by first and confirmatory measurement. Aim: to identify error sources in the clinical use of biochemical data, to use the diagnostic concept for clinically mute DM. Materials and methods: error contributors were established. ...
