Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have the potential to improve patient care. We developed the Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes Mellitus (CAD/DM) Smart Form as a documentation-based application that provides decision support for the management of chronic diseases. Results of a pilot study suggest that the CAD/DM Smart Form has the potential to improve patient care.

Background: Gene signatures derived from transcriptomic-causal networks offer potential for tailoring clinical care in cancer treatment by identifying predictive and prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to uncover such signatures in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients to aid treatment decisions.
Methods: We constructed transcriptomic-causal networks and integrated gene interconnectivity into overall survival (OS) analysis to control for confounding genes.

The growing demand for clean and sustainable energy sources has prompted the investigation of numerous renewable and ecologically friendly options. Among these, geothermal energy is particularly noteworthy because of its widespread availability, compact size, and consistent, weather-independent power production. A geothermal play fairway analysis (GPFA) model was created for the study area, which is located in Békés county, southeastern Hungary.
