Concepts of Health and Illness

15.4K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Concepts and Prototypes

225
The human nervous system handles vast amounts of information by translating sensory stimuli into neural impulses, which the brain processes, creating thoughts expressed through language or stored as memories. The brain also synthesizes information from emotions and memories, which significantly influence thoughts and behaviors. This intricate process creates a comprehensive mental picture.
The brain organizes this information using concepts, which are mental categories grouping linguistic data,...

Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

7.9K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Natural and Artificial Concepts

266
In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis I

2.8K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.
There are thirteen domains...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic01:26

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

4.4K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • Health Informatics
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Accurate identification of health concepts in free text is crucial for biomedical informatics.
  • Large language models (LLMs) excel at concept extraction but struggle with mapping to unique identifiers.
  • Mapping concepts to unique identifiers (e.g., UMLS CUIs) enhances data integration and interoperability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a neural embedding approach for mapping health concepts to Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Concept Unique Identifiers (CUIs).
  • To evaluate the performance of this approach using annotated COVID-19 signs and symptoms data.

Main Methods:

  • Created a vector store with embeddings for 57,819 unique concepts and their corresponding CUIs.
  • Tested three combinations of neural embeddings and vector stores.
  • Compared the neural embedding approach against a baseline string match method.

Main Results:

  • The neural embedding approach demonstrated a significant performance improvement of over 200% compared to the baseline string match method.
  • The method showed promising results for mapping health concepts to CUIs.
  • Further improvements are needed for seamless integration with large language models.

Conclusions:

  • Neural embedding offers a superior method for mapping health concepts to unique identifiers in biomedical NLP.
  • This approach has the potential to improve data interoperability in health informatics.
  • Continued research is necessary to optimize performance for advanced LLM applications.
