Transformer- and Generative Adversarial Network-Based Inpatient Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescription Recommendation: Development Study.

Background: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners usually follow a 4-step evaluation process during patient diagnosis: observation, auscultation, olfaction, inquiry, pulse feeling, and palpation. The information gathered in this process, along with laboratory test results and other measurements such as vital signs, is recorded in the patient's electronic health record (EHR). In fact, all the information needed to make a treatment plan is contained in the EHR; however, only a seasoned TCM physician could use this information well to make a good treatment plan as the reasoning process is very complicated, and it takes years of practice for a medical graduate to master the reasoning skill.

Synthesis and characterization of nano-crystalized HfC based on an aqueous solution-derived precursor.

Nano-crystalized HfC was successfully synthesized based on an aqueous solution-derived precursor using hafnium tetrachloride and sucrose as raw materials. The precursor can be converted to pure phase HfC after pyrolysis at ∼600 °C and subsequent carbothermal reduction reaction at ∼1600 °C, with a ceramic yield of around 46.3%.

On standardization of basic datasets of electronic medical records in traditional Chinese medicine.

Background And Objective: Standardization of electronic medical record, so as to enable resource-sharing and information exchange among medical institutions has become inevitable in view of the ever increasing medical information. The current research is an effort towards the standardization of basic dataset of electronic medical records in traditional Chinese medicine.

Methods: In this work, an outpatient clinical information model and an inpatient clinical information model are created to adequately depict the diagnosis processes and treatment procedures of traditional Chinese medicine.
