AI Article Synopsis

  • Text mining techniques were applied to identify surgical site infections (SSIs) from unstructured clinical notes, enhancing SSI detection.
  • In conjunction with data from an integrated electronic medical record, this approach was able to identify all 22 SSIs found by traditional hospital surveillance.
  • Additionally, it uncovered 37 more SSIs that traditional surveillance methods missed, demonstrating its effectiveness.

Article Abstract

Text mining techniques to detect surgical site infections (SSI) in unstructured clinical notes were used to improve SSI detection. In conjuction with data from an integrated electronic medical record, all of the 22 SSIs detected by traditional hospital-based surveillance were found using text mining, along with an additional 37 SSIs not detected by traditional surveillance.

Growing cannabis use has made it the most widely cultivated and trafficked illicit drug globally according to the World Health Organization, with 147 million people consuming cannabis-derived products (CDPs) in various product forms and constituency. Despite restrictions in certain countries, unregulated access can still be found on the dark web which specializes in trafficking of illicit goods. The objective was to systematically collect data from multiple marketplaces to identify types of cannabis products offered for sale.

Gradient porous carbon has become a potential electrode material for energy storage devices, including the aqueous zinc-ion hybrid capacitor (ZIHC). Compared with the sufficient studies on the fabrication of ZIHCs with high electrochemical performance, there is still lack of in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms of gradient porous structure for energy storage, especially the synergistic effect of ultramicropores (<1 nm) and micropores (1-2 nm). Here, we report a design principle for the gradient porous carbon structure used for ZIHC based on the data-mining machine learning (ML) method.

Study on the foam production characteristics of air self-suction foam generator by jet.

Sci Rep

Key Laboratory of Gas and Fire Control for Mines, Ministry of Education, Xuzhou, 221116, China.

Confined space fires could easily cause serious casualties and property damage, and foam is an effective means of preventing confined space fires. The existing foam generator does not have both momentum and foam expansion rate (FER) and is poorly suited to confined spaces. In order to develop a foam generator suitable for confined space fire protection, an in-depth analysis of the physical foaming characteristics of self-suction foam is required, and the structure of the foam generator is optimized accordingly.

Impact of civil war on the land cover in Myanmar.

Environ Monit Assess

January 2025

College of Geoscience and Surveying Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), Beijing, China.

Exploring the response relationship between civil war, population and land cover change is of great practical significance for social stability in Myanmar. However, the ongoing civil war in Myanmar hinders direct understanding of the situation on the ground, which in turn limits detailed study of the intricate relationship between the dynamics of the civil war and its impact on population and land. Therefore, this paper explores the response relationship between civil war conflict and population and land cover change in Myanmar from 2010 to 2020 from the perspective of remote sensing using the land cover data we produced, the open spatial demographics data, and the armed conflict location and event data project.
