The International Classification of Diseases-11 (ICD-11) chronic pain classification includes about 100 chronic pain diagnoses on different diagnostic levels. Each of these diagnoses requires specific operationalized diagnostic criteria to be present. The classification comprises more than 200 diagnostic criteria. The aim of the Classification Algorithm for Chronic Pain in ICD-11 (CAL-CP) is to facilitate the use of the classification by guiding ...

© 2018 The Authors Health inequalities continue to grow despite continuous policy intervention. Work, one domain of health inequalities, is often included as a component of social class rather than as a determinant in its own right. Many social class classifications are derived from occupation types, but there are other components within them that mean they may not be useful as proxies for occupation. This paper develops the exposome, a ...

Backgound and study aim Advanced endoscopic imaging has revolutionized the characterization of lesions during colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to create a new classification for differentiating subcentimetric hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps, and deeply invasive malignant lesions using blue-light imaging (BLI) with high definition, with and without optical magnification, as well as to assess its interobserver concordance. Methods A ...

Het evidence-based medicine principe indachtig, is het duidelijk dat systemen terondersteuning van klinische beslissingen zeer nuttige hulpmiddelen kunnen zijn in deklinische praktijk. Er zijn ontelbare toepassingen voor dergelijke systemen, deels doorde vooruitgang in het domein van de computationele intelligentie. Deze systemen helpenclinici bij het nemen van belangrijke beslissingen, maar kunnen hen uiteraard nietvervangen. Het blijkt echter ...

The huge amount of documents available in the legal domain calls for computational tools supporting efficient and intelligent search and filtering of information. Over the last several years, machine-learning oriented research in information retrieval and document classification has spawned a number of systems capable of handling structural content management, helping users to automatically or semi-automatically identify relevant structured ...

Pachyonychis paradoxus Clark, 1860 and Pachyonychus paradoxus Melsheimer, 1847 are two species of Alticini whose strikingly similar names have led to significant confusion in the past. Recent study of American Oedionychina Chapuis, 1875 raised doubts about the validity of the subtribal placement of Pachyonychis Clark. Although general characteristics put this genus in Oedionychina, other features, especially the unusual shape of the pronotum, ...

No official stage classification for thymic malignancies has been defined by the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer and the American Joint Commission on Cancer. The International Thymic Malignancy Interest group (ITMIG) has selected the Masaoka system1 with the modification proposed by Koga et al.2 as the one that will be used, 3 until a scientifically validated system is defined in the next edition of the international tumor staging manuals ...

AIM: To identify the most relevant factors with respect to the management of fracture-related infection (FRI) and to develop a comprehensive FRI classification that guides decision-making and allows scientific comparison. METHOD: An international group of FRI experts determined the preconditions, purpose, primary factors for inclusion, format and detailed description of the elements of an FRI classification through a consensus driven process. ...

Correctly identifying sleep stages is important in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. This paper proposes a joint classification-and-prediction framework based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatic sleep staging, and, subsequently, introduces a simple yet efficient CNN architecture to power the framework. Given a single input epoch, the novel framework jointly determines its label (classification) and its neighboring ...
