Issues obstructing progress in data mining for improved health outcomes include data quality problems, data redundancy, data inconsistency, repeated measures, temporal (time-contextual) measures, and data volume. Related issues involve theoretical and technical problems involving uncertainty management, missing data and missing values, and matching appropriate data mining techniques to patient data sets. Results of data mining research in progress are reported for Duke University's perinatal database that contains nearly a decade of clinical patient data, 71,753 database (patient) records and 4-5000 variables per patient.

Data-driven modeling of background radiation structure utilizing matrix profile in nuclear security.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, 78249, USA.

The inherently stochastic nature of radiation emissions makes modeling background radiation structure a particularly challenging research area. In source identification scenarios, which are critical to nuclear security, the complexity of background radiation modeling is intensified by dynamically changing factors that influence radiation measurements. Consequently, accurately modeling and estimating background radiation can significantly improve our nuclear security capabilities by enhancing the detection of anomalies within radiation data.

Mining microbial and metabolic dark matter in extreme environments: a roadmap for harnessing the power of multi-omics data.

Adv Biotechnol (Singap)

August 2024

State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Plant Stress Biology and Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhuhai), School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, 510275, PR China.

Extreme environments such as hyperarid, hypersaline, hyperthermal environments, and the deep sea harbor diverse microbial communities, which are specially adapted to extreme conditions and are known as extremophiles. These extremophilic organisms have developed unique survival strategies, making them ideal models for studying microbial diversity, evolution, and adaptation to adversity. They also play critical roles in biogeochemical cycles.

The rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) is a widely utilized tool for evaluating environmental impacts in municipal solid waste management. However, the traditional RIAM (T-RIAM) method includes ambiguities in its scoring classification, which can hinder decision-making accuracy. This study introduces a modified RIAM approach, enhancing classification precision by refining impact categories, making it particularly valuable for projects constrained by time and resources.

Drug-induced heart failure: a real-world pharmacovigilance study using the FDA adverse event reporting system database.

Front Pharmacol

January 2025

Shengli Clinical College of Fujian Medical University, Department of Pharmacy, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital, Fuzhou, China.

Objective: Although there are certain drug categories associated with heart failure (HF), most of the associated risks are unclear. We investigated the top drugs associated with HF and acute HF (AHF) reported in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Methods: We reviewed publicly available FAERS databases from 2004 to 2023.
