Beyond MELD Score: Association of Machine Learning-derived CT Body Composition with 90-Day Mortality Post Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement by Elhakim, Tarig, Mansur, Arian, Kondo, Jordan, Omar, Omar M. F., Ahmed, Khalid, Tabari, Azadeh, Brea, Allison, Ndakwah, Gabriel, Iqbal, Shams, Allegretti, Andrew S., Fintelmann, Florian J., Wehrenberg-Klee, Eric, Bridge, Christopher, Daye, Dania

“…Patients who died within 90 days of TIPS had significantly higher MELD (18.9 vs. 11.9, p < 0.001) and lower SMA (123 vs. 144.5, p = 0.002), SMI (43.7 vs. 50.5, p = 0.03), SFA (122.4 vs. 190.8, p = 0.009), SFI (44.2 vs. 66.7, p = 0.04), VFA (105.5 vs. 171.2, p = 0.003), and VFI (35.7 vs. 57.5, p = 0.02) compared to those who survived past 90 days. There were no significant associations between 90-day mortality and BMI (26 vs. 27.1, p = 0.63), SMD (30.1 vs. 31.7, p = 0.44), or VSR (0.97 vs. 1.03, p = 0.66). …”

Ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials probed by time-and-momentum-resolved techniques by Su, Yifan

“…Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) and time-and-angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) are tools that I co-developed with my colleagues at MIT in the past several years. Supplemented by the time-resolved X-ray diffraction (trXRD) setup at free electron laser facilities around the world, they provide direct access to lattice (UED and trXRD) and electronic (trARPES) structures in quantum materials on an ultrafast timescale of a few hundred femtoseconds. …”

Machine learning-based approaches for large-scale temporal data analytics by Seyed Ali Majid Zonoozi

“…From a data analysis standpoint, there is significant utility to be gained by discovering the patterns in the data, in order to understand the trend of changes in the past and future. In this study, by considering different types of changes that occur in temporal data, including changes in underlying data distribution, recurring concepts and outliers, different machine learning-based models are proposed to track the changes, predict future values and detect abnormal patterns in temporal settings. …”
