The increasing development of technology has led to the increase of digital data in various fields, such as medication-related texts. Sentiment Analysis (SA) in medication is essential to give clinicians insights into patients' feedback about the treatment procedure. Therefore, this study intends to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to predict patients' sentiments.

Timely evaluation of stroke severity is crucial for predicting clinical outcomes, with standard assessment tools being the Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE) and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). This study aims to utilize Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict stroke severity using these two distinct scales.

To assess dataset skewness and detect feature importance, we applied Pearson's second coefficient test of skewness and the Ordinary Least Squares method, respectively. Using two sampling strategies, holdout and five-fold cross-validation, we developed five machine learning (ML) models alongside a feed-forward deep neural network (DNN) for the multiclass classification and regression prediction of glioblastoma patient survival.

This issue has raised concerns about the widespread nature of this disease around the world. The experience with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has increased awareness about pandemics among researchers and health authorities.

Feature selection (FS) methods have been indicated to be effective in feature reduction as well as in identifying risk factors related to prediction of clinical disorders. This paper examines the prediction of patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) using machine learning (ML) and attempts to identify risk factors related to the diagnosis of AUD.

Background: Prediction of length of stay (LOS) at admission time can provide physicians and nurses insight into the illness severity of patients and aid them in avoiding adverse events and clinical deterioration. It also assists hospitals with more effectively managing their resources and manpower.
Methods: In this field of research, there are some important challenges, such as missing values and LOS data skewness.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess the performance and clinical feasibility of machine learning (ML) algorithms in prediction of in-hospital mortality for medical patients using vital signs at emergency departments (EDs).
Design: A systematic review was performed.
Setting: The databases including Medline (PubMed), Scopus and Embase (Ovid) were searched between 2010 and 2021, to extract published articles in English, describing ML-based models utilising vital sign variables to predict in-hospital mortality for patients admitted at EDs.
Robotic rehabilitation can offer effective solutions, facilitating physiotherapist work, and helping patients regain their strength. Visualizing results of rehabilitative training could give a better insight into the factors that contribute to progress and measure the exact progress by every session. This paper aims to present a set of prototype dashboards to analyze and visualize data from robotic rehabilitation in order to help the patients measure their exerted force progress throughout the training period.

Early detection of deterioration at hospitals could be beneficial in terms of reducing mortality and morbidity rates and costs. In this paper, we present a model based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network used in deep learning to predict the illness severity of patients in advance. Hence, by predicting health severity, this model can be used to identify deteriorating patients.
