It is observed that a person with no medical knowledge can still partially understand contents of Turkish radiology reports. Based on this observation, one rule based method and one data driven method for information retrieval from Turkish radiology reports are proposed. Both methods lack use of medical ontologies and medical lexicons in order to test the limits of the observation in isolation of other factors.

Not just data: A method for improving prediction with knowledge
Yet, Barbaros; Fenton, Norman; Tai, Nigel; Marsh, William (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01)
Many medical conditions are only indirectly observed through symptoms and tests. Developing predictive models for such conditions is challenging since they can be thought of as 'latent' variables. They are not present in the data and often get confused with measurements. As a result, building a model that fits data well is not the same as making a prediction that is useful for decision makers. In this paper, we present a methodology for developing Bayesian network (BN) models that predict and reason with la...
A systematic review of the reliability of objective structured clinical examination scores
Brannick, Michael T.; Erol-Korkmaz, H. Tugba; Prewett, Matthew (2011-12-01)
CONTEXT The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is comprised of a series of simulations used to assess the skill of medical practitioners in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. It is often used in high-stakes examinations and therefore it is important to assess its reliability and validity.

Objectives: Oxidative stress is a known risk factor for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the main cause of ischemic stroke. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) omega-1 and omega-2, members of phase II enzymes, play a role in the antioxidant system. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), C419A and A424G in GST omega genes can cause a decrease in enzyme activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between these polymorphisms and ischemic stroke risk in a Turkish population.

The goal of this study is to analyze and understand the risks of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with respect to the provinces of Turkey according to the results of spatial analysis.
Automated cancer stem cell recognition in H&E stained tissue using convolutional neural networks and color deconvolution

The analysis and interpretation of histopathological samples and images is an important discipline in the diagnosis of various diseases, especially cancer. An important factor in prognosis and treatment with the aim of a precision medicine is the determination of so-called cancer stem cells (CSC) which are known for their resistance to chemotherapeutic treatment and involvement in tumor recurrence. Using immunohistochemistry with CSC markers like CD13, CD133 and others is one way to identify CSC. In our wor...
