Biostatistics: Overview01:20

Biostatistics: Overview

435
Biostatistics plays a crucial role in understanding and analyzing data in healthcare and biology. Biostatisticians conduct experiments, gather evidence, and draw meaningful conclusions using statistical methods and techniques. Different variables form the foundation of biostatistical analysis, allowing researchers to understand and interpret data effectively. These variables are classified into different types, each serving a specific purpose in statistical analysis.
Discrete variables are...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.0K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Clinical Trials01:16

Clinical Trials

9.9K
Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Overview01:20

Pharmacokinetic Models: Overview

1.4K
Pharmacokinetic models utilize mathematical analysis to achieve a detailed quantitative understanding of a drug's life cycle within the body. They are instrumental in simulating a drug's pharmacokinetic parameters, predicting drug concentrations over time, optimizing dosage regimens, linking concentrations with pharmacologic activity, and estimating potential toxicity.
There are three primary types of models: empirical, compartment, and physiological. Empirical models, with minimal...

  • Medical informatics

Background:

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) is crucial for extracting information from unstructured biomedical and clinical text.
  • Existing NLP tools often require significant adaptation or lack performance for specialized scientific domains.
  • The Stanza library provides a foundation for developing domain-specific NLP capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate novel neural NLP packages tailored for syntactic analysis and named entity recognition (NER) in biomedical and clinical English.
  • To extend the capabilities of the Stanza library for specialized scientific language processing.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation and training of NLP pipelines using the Stanza library, incorporating public (CRAFT treebank) and private annotated radiology reports.
  • Development of neural network-based models for tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, lemmatization, dependency parsing, and NER.
  • Comparative evaluation against established NLP libraries (CoreNLP, scispaCy) and state-of-the-art models (BioBERT, BioNLP CRAFT winners).

Main Results:

  • Achieved superior performance in syntactic analysis compared to retrained scispaCy and CoreNLP models, matching top systems from the CRAFT shared task.
  • Demonstrated substantial outperformance over scispaCy for NER and achieved performance comparable or superior to BioBERT.
