Predictive Modeling of Phenylpiperazine Derivatives for Renin Inhibition.

The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system is the well established endocrine system having significant role in preserving hemodynamic stability. Renin is secreted from the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney. Phenylpiperazine derivatives have been reported as human renin inhibitor. To perform predictive QSAR modeling for 27 phenylpiperazine derivatives as renin enzyme inhibitors. The IC50 values ...

Predictive modeling

Data mining has been used intensively and extensively by many organizations. In healthcare, data mining is becoming increasingly popular, if not increasingly essential. Data mining applications can greatly benefit all parties involved in the healthcare industry. For example, data mining can help healthcare insurers detect fraud and abuse, healthcare organizations make customer relationship mana...

Towards precision medicine: Accurate predictive modeling of infectious complications in combat casualties.

BACKGROUND The biomarker profile of trauma patients may allow for the creation of models to assist bedside decision making and prediction of complications. We sought to determine the utility of modeling in the prediction of bacteremia and pneumonia in combat casualties. METHODS This is a prospective, observational trial of patients with complex wounds treated at Walter Reed National Military ...
