Visual summarization of clinical data collected on patients contained within the electronic health record (EHR) may enable precise and rapid triage at time patient presentation to an emergency department (ED). The process is critical in appropriate allocation resources anticipating eventual disposition, typically admission hospital or discharge home. EHR are high-dimensional complex, but offer ...

Between seizures, irritative network generates frequent brief synchronous activity, which manifests on the EEG as interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). Recent insights into the mechanism of IEDs at the microscopic level have demonstrated a high variance in the recruitment of neuronal populations generating IEDs and a high variability in the trajectories through which IEDs propagate across ...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a technique that uses all collected observations to measure performance. this method presents no data about how to operate on dmu. the present research attempted to study a unit with all its subunits, if the unit is efficient, it means that all its subunits are efficient too and if it is an inefficient, it shows clearly that which one of the subunits makes ine...
