Tailoring surgery to elderly patients with cancer.
As life expectancy increases globally, it has become evident that the most significant independent factor for developing a malignancy is simply longevity. Unfortunately, there is also a correlation between older patients and substandard cancer treatment. EUROCARE-5 has flagged up an unfavourable cancer-related survival rate among the oldest patients1. Put explicitly: older people die from cance...
متن کاملPolymer Biocompatibility
Polymers are very versatile materials and are used in many applications including pharmaceutical applications. Natural polymers, modified natural polymers, and synthetic polymers are used as excipients in the manufacture of cosmetics and systems for conventional and modified delivery of drugs, by altering the composition and physical properties such as molecular weight, polydispersity, crystall...
متن کاملLife-long tailoring of management for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common genetic heart disease, characterised by complex pathophysiology and extensive genetic and clinical heterogeneity. In most patients, HCM is caused by mutations in cardiac sarcomere protein genes and inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The clinical phenotype ranges from severe presentations at a young age to lack of left ventricular hyper...
متن کاملTailoring of Self-Management Interventions in Patients With Heart Failure
The effectiveness of heart failure (HF) self-management interventions varies within patients suggesting that one size does not fit all. It is expected that effectiveness can be optimized when interventions are tailored to individual patients. The aim of this review was to synthesize the literature on current use of tailoring in self-management interventions and patient characteristics associate...
متن کاملBenefitting from the Variables that Variable Selection Discards
In supervised learning variable selection is used to find a subset of the available inputs that accurately predict the output. This paper shows that some of the variables that variable selection discards can beneficially be used as extra outputs for inductive transfer. Using discarded input variables as extra outputs forces the model to learn mappings from the variables that were selected as in...
