PHP6 SUMMARIZING DRUG USE OVER TIME: THE DRUG-O-GRAM

Summarizing Disasters Over Time

We have developed a text summarization system that can generate summaries over time from web crawls on disasters. We show that our method of identifying exemplar sentences for a summary using affinity propagation clustering produces better summaries than clustering based on K-medoids as measured using Rouge on a small set of examples. A key component of our approach is the prediction of salient...

Monitoring drug promiscuity over time

Drug promiscuity and polypharmacology are much discussed topics in pharmaceutical research. Experimentally, promiscuity can be studied by profiling of compounds on arrays of targets. Computationally, promiscuity rates can be estimated by mining of compound activity data. In this study, we have assessed drug promiscuity over time by systematically collecting activity records for approved drugs. ...

Poly Drug Use - A Challenge for Drug Treatment

Poly-drug use refers to the use of two or more substances at the one time or repeatedly. It is common among both recreational and regular drug users across the world. Poly-drug use is a great contributor to the global number of deaths related to drug overdose. In this case, the likelihood of drug overdose and its pertaining complications in an individual is higher especially when benzodiazepine...

Summarizing Drug Information in Medline Citations

Adverse drug events and drug-drug interactions are a major concern in patient care. Although databases exist to provide information about drugs, they are not always up-to-date and complete (particularly regarding pharmacogenetics). We propose a methodology based on automatic summarization to identify drug information in Medline citations and present results to the user in a convenient form. We ...
