The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

7.0K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.9K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Embryonic Stem Cells

32.5K
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are undifferentiated pluripotent cells, meaning they can produce any cell type in the body. This gives them tremendous potential in science and medicine since they can generate specific cell types for use in research or to replace body cells lost due to damage or disease.

Machines

579
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. One example of a machine is the cutting plier, which is used to cut wires by applying forces to its handles. When equal and opposite forces are exerted on the handles of the cutting plier, they cause the cutting edges to come together and apply equal and opposite reaction forces on the wire, which are greater than the applied forces.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

28.1K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

Area of Science:

  • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
  • Medical informatics
  • Machine learning in healthcare

Background:

  • Unrelated donor stem cell transplant success relies on donor availability, not just genetic matching.
  • Approximately 50% of potential donors in the National Marrow Donor Program are unavailable post-match, with disparities across demographic subgroups.
  • Existing methods for assessing donor availability are laborious and often inaccurate at the individual level.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a machine learning model for predicting individual unrelated donor availability.
  • To improve the efficiency of donor selection in unrelated donor stem cell transplantation.
  • To reduce the time to transplant for patients requiring hematopoietic stem cell transplants.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a machine learning approach to predict the availability of registered stem cell donors.
  • Trained and evaluated the predictive model on a large dataset of 44,544 donor requests.
  • Assessed model performance using the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Main Results:

  • The machine learning model achieved a predictive performance of 0.77 AUC on the test cohort.
  • Demonstrated the capability of machine learning to accurately estimate individual donor availability.
  • Highlighted the potential for enhanced donor data to improve availability predictions.

Conclusions:

  • A machine learning-based predictor can accurately estimate individual stem cell donor availability.
  • Implementing this predictor during donor selection can significantly reduce the time to transplant.
  • This approach offers a more precise alternative to extrapolating group averages for individual donor assessment.
