Objective: The research attempted to develop search filters for biomedical literature databases that improve retrieval of studies of clinical relevance for the nursing and rehabilitation professions.

Methods: Diagnostic testing framework compared machine-culled and practitioner-nominated search terms with a hand-tagged clinical literature database.

Results: We were unable to: (1) develop filters for nursing, likely because of the overlapping and expanding scope of practice for nurses in comparison with medical professionals, or (2) develop filters for rehabilitation, because of its broad scope and the profession's multifaceted understanding of "health and ability."

Conclusions: We found limitations on search filter development for these health professions: nursing and rehabilitation.

Kell is one of the most complex blood group systems, with a highly polymorphic genetic background. Extensive allelic variations in the gene affect the encoded erythrocyte surface protein Kell. Genetic variants causing aberrant splicing, premature termination of protein translation, or specific amino acid exchanges lead to a variety of different phenotypes with altered Kell expression levels or changes in the antigenic properties of the Kell protein.

An effective heuristic for developing hybrid feature selection in high dimensional and low sample size datasets.

BMC Bioinformatics

December 2024

Department of Software Science, Dankook University, Youngin, Gyeonggi, South Korea.

Background: High-dimensional datasets with low sample sizes (HDLSS) are pivotal in the fields of biology and bioinformatics. One of core objective of HDLSS is to select most informative features and discarding redundant or irrelevant features. This is particularly crucial in bioinformatics, where accurate feature (gene) selection can lead to breakthroughs in drug development and provide insights into disease diagnostics.

The identification of peptides is a cornerstone of mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Spectral library-based algorithms are well-established methods to enhance the identification efficiency of peptides during database searches in proteomics. However, these algorithms are not specifically tailored for tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomics due to the lack of high-quality TMT spectral libraries.
