Identifying Changes in Myocardial Microstructure via a Novel Sonographic Imaging Algorithm
(2015-05-13)We developed a novel ultrasound-based image analysis algorithm designed to differentiate microstructural characteristics of left ventricular (LV) myocardium. The algorithm analyzes sonographic signal distributions and ... -
Identifying Early Changes in Myocardial Microstructure in Hypertensive Heart Disease
(Public Library of Science, 2014)The transition from healthy myocardium to hypertensive heart disease is characterized by a series of poorly understood changes in myocardial tissue microstructure. Incremental alterations in the orientation and integrity ... -
Identifying Gaps in Human Trafficking Mental Health Service Provision
(2018-07-03)Human trafficking is a global concern resulting in complex, long lasting mental health consequences for survivors. The United States non-governmental sector has emerged as a key service provider in facilitating and directly ... -
Identifying Gender-Preferred Communication Styles within Online Cancer Communities: A Retrospective, Longitudinal Analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Background: The goal of this research is to determine if different gender-preferred social styles can be observed within the user interactions at an online cancer community. To achieve this goal, we identify and measure ... -
Identifying Genes Preferentially Expressed in Undifferentiated Embryonic Stem Cells
(BioMed Central, 2007)Background: The mechanism involved in the maintenance and differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells is incompletely understood. Results: To address this issue, we have developed a retroviral gene trap vector that can ... -
Identifying genotype-dependent efficacy of single and combined PI3K- and MAPK-pathway inhibition in cancer
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)In cancer, genetically activated proto-oncogenes often induce "upstream'' dependency on the activity of the mutant oncoprotein. Therapeutic inhibition of these activated oncoproteins can induce massive apoptosis of tumor ... -
Identifying Health Information Technology Needs of Oncologists to Facilitate the Adoption of Genomic Medicine: Recommendations From the 2016 American Society of Clinical Oncology Omics and Precision Oncology Workshop
At the ASCO Data Standards and Interoperability Summit held in May 2016, it was unanimously decided that four areas of current oncology clinical practice have serious, unmet health information technology needs. The following ... -
Identifying Indicators of Important Diagnostic Features of Delirium
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)OBJECTIVES: To use an expert consensus process to identify indicators of delirium features to help enhance bedside recognition of delirium. DESIGN: Modified Delphi consensus process to assign existing cognitive and ... -
Identifying Intestinal Metaplasia at the Squamocolumnar Junction by Using Optical Coherence Tomography
(Elsevier BV, 2007)Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging method that produces high-resolution cross-sectional images of the esophagus. The accuracy of OCT for differentiating tissue types at the squamocolumnar ... -
Identifying Key Drivers of Frequent Urgent Care Visits at the Massachusetts General Hospital Chelsea Healthcare Center (MGH-Chelsea)
(2015-06-17)Background: Frequent users of the emergency room are described as medically- and socially-complex and suffer from high rates of morbidity and mortality. However an over-reliance on ER services compromises continuity and ... -
Identifying Long Non-Coding RNAs Associated with a Protective Type I Interferon Signature in Melanoma
(2023-05-10)Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as a new class of regulators of type I interferon (IFN) signaling and can potentially serve as therapeutic targets.1 In this study, we identified lncRNAs that are associated with ... -
Identifying Medicare beneficiaries with dementia
(Wiley, 2021-04-26)BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: No data exist regarding the validity of International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 dementia diagnoses within Medicare claims data. We examined the accuracy of claims-based diagnoses with respect ... -
Identifying Metabolic Enzymes with Multiple Types of Association Evidence
(BioMed Central, 2006)Background: Existing large-scale metabolic models of sequenced organisms commonly include enzymatic functions which can not be attributed to any gene in that organism. Existing computational strategies for identifying such ... -
Identifying Metabolic Subpopulations from Population Level Mass Spectrometry
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Metabolism underlies many important cellular decisions, such as the decisions to proliferate and differentiate, and defects in metabolic signaling can lead to disease and aging. In addition, metabolic heterogeneity can ... -
Identifying Novel Genomic Variants in Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in Adults
(2021-05-27)Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening disorder of immune system overactivation that occurs in familial (primary) and acquired (secondary) forms. While primary HLH is caused by inherited ... -
Identifying Pediatric Mood Disorders From Transdiagnostic Polygenic Risk Scores
(Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc, 2022-04-20)Objective: Mood disorders often co-occur with attention deficit-hyperactive disorder (ADHD), disruptive behavior disorders (DBD), and aggression. We aimed to determine if polygenic risk scores (PRSs) based on external ... -
Identifying Pediatric Mood Disorders From Transdiagnostic Polygenic Risk Scores: A Study of Children and Adolescents
