- - The Occupational Disease Surveillance System (ODSS) studied breast cancer risks linked to different job sectors among Ontario workers from 1983 to 2016, tracking cases via the Ontario Cancer Registry.

Trending autoregulatory indices during treatment for traumatic brain injury.
J Clin Monit Comput

Our goal is to use automatic data monitoring for reliable prediction of episodes of intracranial hypertension in patients with traumatic brain injury. Here we test the validity of our method on retrospective patient data. We developed the Continuous Hemodynamic Autoregulatory Monitor (CHARM), that siphons and stores signals from existing monitors in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU), efficiently compresses them, and standardizes the search for statistical relationships between any proposed index and adverse events.
