Social media are proposed as a complementary data source for detection and characterisation of adverse drug reactions. While signal detection algorithms were implemented for generating signals in pharmacovigilance databases, the implementation of a graphical user interface supporting the selection and display of algorithms' results is not documented in the medical literature. Although collecting information on the chronology and the impact of adverse drug reactions is desirable to enable causality and quality assessment of potential signals detected in patients' posts, no tool has been proposed yet to consider such data. We describe here two approaches, and the corresponding tools we implemented for: (1) quantitative approach based on signal detection algorithms, and (2) qualitative approach based on expert review of patient's posts. Future work will focus on implementing other statistical methods, exploring the complementarity of both approaches on a larger scale, and prioritizing the posts to manually evaluate after applying appropriate signal detection methods.

Article Synopsis
  • A new eco-friendly electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor using carbon quantum dots (CN QDs) was developed for highly sensitive detection of vitamin K (VK).
  • The sensor combined nickel-cobalt nanocages (NiCo NCs) with CN QDs, enhancing luminescent properties and allowing for efficient signal amplification when applied to a poly-L-cysteine film.
  • It demonstrated a detection range for VK between 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L, with a low limit of detection at 1.65 × 10⁻⁹ mol/L, and showed effective recoveries in food samples, indicating its practical application.

Identifying antioxidant phenolic compounds (APs) in food plays a crucial role in understanding their biological functions and associated health benefits. Here, a bifunctional Cu-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (Cu-BTC) nanozyme was successfully prepared. Due to the excellent laccase-like behavior of Cu-BTC, it can catalyze the oxidation of various APs to produce colored quinone imines.

Modeling Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images is crucial for numerous image processing applications and aids ophthalmologists in the early detection of macular abnormalities. Sparse representation-based models, particularly dictionary learning (DL), play a pivotal role in image modeling. Traditional DL methods often transform higher-order tensors into vectors and then aggregate them into a matrix, which overlooks the inherent multi-dimensional structure of the data.
