Purpose: To examine (1) how much participation is represented in the benchmark Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) resource, and (2) to what extent that representation reflects the definition of child and youth participation and/or its related constructs per the family of Participation-Related Constructs framework.
Materials And Methods: We searched and analysed UMLS concepts related to the term "participation." Identified UMLS concepts were rated according to their representation of participation (i.e., attendance, involvement, both) as well as participation-related constructs using deductive content analysis.
Results: 363 UMLS concepts were identified. Of those, 68 had at least one English definition, resulting in 81 definitions that were further analysed. Results revealed 2 definitions (2/81; 3%; 2/68 UMLS concepts) representing participation "attendance" and 18 definitions (18/81; 22%; 14/68 UMLS concepts) representing participation "involvement." No UMLS concept definition represented both attendance and involvement (i.e., participation). Most of the definitions (11/20; 55%; 9/16 UMLS concepts) representing attendance or involvement also represent a participation-related construct.
Conclusion(s): The representation of participation within the UMLS is limited and poorly aligned with the contemporary definition of child and youth participation. Expanding ontological resources to represent child and youth participation is needed to enable better data analytics that reflect contemporary paediatric rehabilitation practice.

Identifying the molecular mechanism of blood stasis syndrome through the symptom phenotype-genotype association approach.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Korean Medicine Data Division, Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine, Daejeon, Republic of Korea.
In traditional medicine (TM), blood stasis syndrome (BSS) is characterized by insufficient blood flow, resulting in a group of symptoms such as fixed pain, a dark complexion, bleeding, and an astringent pulse. While BSS pathology has been previously explored, its molecular mechanisms remain elusive owing to challenges in linking TM symptoms to genes. Our study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying BSS using a phenotype-genotype association approach.

This study suggests a way to utilize the existing medical ontology and natural language processing techniques to extract major medical concepts from lay vocabularies of health consumers on social media and group them based on the defined semantic types in the ontology. Diabetes-related discussions on Tumblr was used to test the efficiency of SpaCy and the Markov-Viterbi algorithm to map lay medical terms to the defined medical concepts in the UMLS. The system discussed in this paper can better analyze free texts, take care of word ambiguity and extract the lifestyle indicators from the daily life discussions of diabetic people on Tumblr.

Article Synopsis
- The review emphasizes the necessity of integrating machine learning workflows into hospital settings to align with clinical practices and real-world data.
- The paper discusses the development and implementation of a novel clinical NLP service within the UK's National Health Service, focusing on creating a framework to incorporate expert clinical insight into NLP models.
- The project has generated over 26,000 annotations and demonstrated various clinical uses of named entity recognition, suggesting that NLP services will soon be essential in healthcare.
KSDKG: construction and application of knowledge graph for kidney stone disease based on biomedical literature and public databases.

Purpose: Kidney stone disease (KSD) is a common urological disorder with an increasing incidence worldwide. The extensive knowledge about KSD is dispersed across multiple databases, challenging the visualization and representation of its hierarchy and connections. This paper aims at constructing a disease-specific knowledge graph for KSD to enhance the effective utilization of knowledge by medical professionals and promote clinical research and discovery.

The growth of biomedical literature presents challenges in extracting and structuring knowledge. Knowledge Graphs (KGs) offer a solution by representing relationships between biomedical entities. However, manual construction of KGs is labor-intensive and time-consuming, highlighting the need for automated methods.
