Term-Blast-Like Alignment Tool For Concept Recognition In Noisy Clinical Texts., Tudor Groza, Honghan Wu, Marcel E Dinger, Daniel Danis, Coleman Hilton, Anita Bagley, Jon R Davids, Ling Luo, Zhiyong Lu, Peter N Robinson

Faculty Research 2023

MOTIVATION: Methods for concept recognition (CR) in clinical texts have largely been tested on abstracts or articles from the medical literature. However, texts from electronic health records (EHRs) frequently contain spelling errors, abbreviations, and other nonstandard ways of representing clinical concepts.

RESULTS: Here, we present a method inspired by the BLAST algorithm for biosequence alignment that screens texts for potential matches on the basis of matching k-mer counts and scores candidates based on conformance to typical patterns of spelling errors derived from 2.9 million clinical notes. Our method, the Term-BLAST-like alignment tool (TBLAT) leverages a gold standard corpus for typographical …

Methods: Using a brief web-based survey, comprised of both closed-ended and open-ended questions, health science library professionals provided feedback on the new PubMed.

A Selective Guide To Solo Bass Trombone Repertoire From 1961 To Present, Andrew Amadeus Ortega

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

This document includes works that were composed specifically for bass trombone from as early as 1961 to 2021. Each piece is categorized and presented with an evaluation in addition to a level of performance preferable for collegiate students to professional performers. Commentary has also been included discussing challenging areas as well as providing information necessary to perform the …

DESIGN: Stepped wedge, cluster-randomised trial, with clusters comprised of eligible manuscripts submitted to each participating journal between 1 November 2018 and 31 October 2019.

SETTING: Thirteen medical journals.

PARTICIPANTS: Manuscripts were eligible for inclusion if they were submitted to a participating journal during the study period, presented results from the primary analysis of a clinical trial, and were peer reviewed.

INTERVENTIONS: During the control phase, there were no changes to pre-existing peer review practices. After journals …

From Start To Finish: Examining Factors Associated With Higher Likelihood Of Publication Among Abstracts Presented At An International Infectious Diseases Scientific Meeting, Asia J. Johnson, Christopher M. Bland, Chengwen Teng, Lily Zheng, J Colin Hungerpiller, Morgan Easterling, Sarah Arnold, Madeline Dean, Carrington Royals, P. Brandon Bookstaver

Faculty Publications

Background The landscape of infectious diseases research by interprofessional teams continues to change in both scope and engagement. Limited information exists regarding publication metrics and factors associated with publication of abstracts presented at professional infectious diseases meetings.

Methods This was a retrospective, observational study evaluating abstracts presented at IDWeek in 2017 and 2018. The primary endpoint was the proportion of abstracts that were subsequently published in peer-reviewed journals. Factors associated with publication were evaluated, and a description of publication metrics was reported.

Results Of the 887 abstracts analyzed from the IDWeek meetings, 236 (26.6%) were published. Significantly more abstracts were …

Gender Parity In Authorship Of Published Randomized Clinical Trials In Stroke Neurology From 2000 To 2021., Noor F Shaik, Ali A Saherwala, Diana L Tzeng

Department of Neurology Faculty Papers

Gender parity is a crucial goal in clinical medicine so that women have equal access and representation. Although approximately half (46%) of US neurology residents and fellows are female, proportions of female assistant, associate, and full professors are 49%, 41%, and 23%, respectively. This has far-reaching effects, from clinical publications to invited speakerships.Although a study noted increasing trends in female authorship in high-impact neurology journals the current literature lacks evidence on a more informative benchmark—first and last authorship in randomized clinical trials (RCTs), which is typically considered for career advancement. This study assessed annual proportions and trends of female first …
