Disease Severity Indexes and Treatment Evaluation Criteria in Vitiligo

There is a current lack of consensus regarding methods of assessment of vitiligo. Recently, the Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) and the Vitiligo European Task Force (VETF) were proposed to offer more accurate measures of disease severity indexes and treatment evaluation criteria. It would make sense to combine the VASI with the VETF system. We proposed an original scale for treatment evaluat...

Trie Indexes for Efficient XML Query Evaluation

As the number of applications that rely on XML data increases, so does the need for performing efficient XML query evaluation. A critical part of the solution involves providing new techniques for designing XML indexes and lookup algorithms. In this paper, we leverage the results of our research on coupling the partitions induced by fragments of XPath algebra and those induced by the structural...

Evaluation Criteria for the KAI RFH Technology Evaluation Criteria

Specialized syncope evaluation.

The concept of specialized cardiovascular care is not new. Nearly 4 decades ago, Killip and Kimball1 reported the results of their study of the treatment of 250 patients with myocardial infarction in a coronary care unit. With continuous ECG monitoring at a centralized nursing station, defibrillators at each bedside, and nurses authorized to deliver precordial shocks if physicians did not respo...

Linking Specialized Online Medical Discussions to Online Medical Literature

The medical web comprises both medical communities engaged in discussions about specialized topics and a vast array of medical articles available through web-based databases. In this paper we present a knowledge linkage strategy that links online specialized medical discussions with corresponding online medical articles. The idea is to link the experiential knowledge generated in online medical...
