Temporal sentiment analysis that analyzes temporal trends of sentiments and topics from a text archive that has timestamps is proposed. The method accepts texts with timestamp such as Weblog and news articles, and produces two kinds of graphs, i.e., (1) topic graph that shows temporal change of topics associated with a sentiment, and (2) sentiment graph that shows temporal change of sentiments ...

Miranda-Filho et al. in their recently published paper entitled “Cancers of the brain and CNS: global patterns and trends in incidence” provided a global status report of the geographic and temporal variations in the incidence of brain and CNS cancers in different countries across continents worldwide. While the authors confirm the role of genetic risk factors and ionizing radiation exposur...

OBJECTIVES Addiction researchers have begun monitoring online forums to uncover self-reported details about use and effects of emerging drugs. The use of such online data sources has not been validated against data from large epidemiological surveys. This study aimed to characterize and compare the demographic and temporal trends associated with drug use as reported in online forums and in a la...

OBJECTIVES We explored whether there are diagnostically useful temporal trends in prehospital vital signs of trauma patients. METHODS Vital signs were monitored during transport to a level I trauma center and electronically archived. Retrospectively, we identified reliable vital signs recorded from the 0- to 7-minute interval and from the 14- to 21-minute interval during transport, and, for e...

background and aims: one of the most common approach to understanding spatial and temporal trends of event data is to break it up into a series of time snapshots. therefore space-time cube method applied in order to portray the likely trend in occurrence of the pulmonary tuberculosis (tb) cases. methods: in this study, information of all patients with pulmonary tb recorded in surveillance syste...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of diagnosed autism has increased rapidly over the last several decades among U.S. children. Environmental factors are thought to be driving this increase and a list of the top ten suspected environmental toxins was published recently. METHODS Temporal trends in autism for birth years 1970-2005 were derived from a combination of data from the California Department of...

BACKGROUND Sentinel surveillance has previously been used to monitor and identify disease outbreaks in both human and animal contexts. Three approaches for the selection of sentinel sites are proposed and evaluated regarding their ability to capture overall respiratory disease trends using provincial abattoir condemnation data from all abattoirs open throughout the study for use in a sentinel s...

Line graphs have been commonly used for visualizing temporal trends in time series data. Since comparing trends is one of the main tasks for analyzing multiple temporal trends, many efforts have been made to enhance visual representations of line graphs to help people efficiently compare multiple temporal trends. However, as the number of line graphs increases, the overlap makes it difficult to...

conclusions the association between viral hepatitis and nhl in the area of interest might provide some degree of explanation to this finding. our data confirm that due to epidemic infection of hcv in the area of naples, a high mortality for nhl persists, moreover the adoption of standard therapeutic protocols administered in full accordance with an evidence-based approach and current guidelines...

results overall suicide mortality has increased from 10.6 per 100,000 in 2003 to 12.4 in 2014, which equals to 1.5 % (+0.1 - + 2.8) annual percentage change (apc). increase in suicide rate for women was remarkably higher than men (apc = 4.5 for women and 0.5 for men (p value < 0.001)). majority of increase belonged to age group 20 - 29 in women and 30-39 in men. old men have an increasing trend...
