Human Activity Recognition Using Inertial, Physiological, and Environmental Sensors
This survey focuses on critical role of machine learning in developing Human Activity Recognition applications based on inertial sensors in conjunction with physiological and environmental sensors.
Discovery and Validation of Urinary Molecular Signature of Early Sepsis
The first ever study to use urinary cellular gene expression to study sepsis. Researchers identified alterations in gene expression unique to systemic and kidney-specific pathophysiologic processes using whole-genome analyses of RNA isolated from the urinary cells of sepsis patients.
Clinical Trajectories of Acute Kidney Injury in Surgical Sepsis: A Prospective Observational Study
Among critically ill surgical sepsis patients, persistent AKI and the absence of renal recovery are associated with distinct early and sustained immunologic and endothelial biomarker signatures and decreased long-term physical function and survival.
Audiovisual Modules to Enhance Informed Consent in the ICU: A Pilot Study
Audiovisual modules may improve knowledge and comprehension of commonly performed ICU procedures among critically ill patients and caregivers who have no healthcare background.
Extended vertical lists for temporal pattern mining from multivariate time series
In this paper, the problem of mining complex temporal patterns in the context of multivariate time series is considered. A new method called the Fast Temporal Pattern Mining with Extended Vertical Lists.
Reinforcement learning in surgery
Patients and physicians make essential decisions regarding diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. These actions should be performed or deferred under time constraints and uncertainty regarding patients’ diagnoses and predicted response to treatment. This may lead to cognitive and judgment errors.

Metabolic Syndrome and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: These findings suggest that metabolic syndrome was associated with increased risks of ARDS and death in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The association with ARDS was cumulative for…
Association of persistent acute kidney injury and renal recovery with mortality in hospitalised patients
CONCLUSIONS: It is essential to identify patients at risk of developing persistent AKI and no renal recovery to guide treatment-related decisions.
Executive summary of the artificial intelligence in surgery series
As opportunities for artificial intelligence to augment surgical care expand, the accompanying surge in published literature has generated both substantial enthusiasm and grave concern regarding the safety and efficacy of…
Association of Postoperative Undertriage to Hospital Wards With Mortality and Morbidity
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study found that admitted patients at increased risk for postoperative complications who were undertriaged to hospital wards had increased mortality and morbidity compared with a risk-matched…
