Integrated clinical decision support : assessing opportunities and outcomes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Medical calculators play an important role as a component of specific clinical decision support (CDS) systems that synthesize measurable evidence and can introduce new medical guidelines and standards. Understanding the ... -
An interventional informatics approach to development and evaluation of population-based health and web technologies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Interventional informatics is the use of health information technology (HIT) that drives evidence-based and evidence-generating practices to inform an improved health delivery system. Current HIT lacks movement towards ... -
Large-scale analysis, management, and retrieval of biological and medical images
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Biomedical image data have been growing quickly in volume, speed, and complexity, and there is an increasing reliance on the analysis of these data. Biomedical scientists are in need of efficient and accurate analyses of ... -
Large-scale soybean genome-wide variation workflow and association analysis using deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] With the advances in next-generation sequencing technology and significant reduction in sequencing costs, it is now possible to sequence large collections ... -
Measuring the speed and efficacy of clinical decision-making when comparing two different data visualizations for medications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Background: The percentage of patients with polypharmacy needs is increasing among a growing patient population. As a result, the amount of time health care professionals require to make clinical decisions based on current ... -
A novel and dynamic prediction engine for practicing precision medicine to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Cancer remains the second major cause of death in the United States over the last decade. Chemotherapy is a core component of nearly every cancer treatment plan. Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) are the two ... -
Protein transport : bioinformatics methods for understanding protein subcellular localization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Eukaryotic cells contain diverse subcellular organelles. These organelles form distinct functional cellular compartments where different biological ... -
Steps in transforming the Missouri Cancer Registry (MCR) from anincidence registry to a survival registry : estimate and interactively visualize female breast cancer burden in Missouri senatorial districts and assess the usability of the Missouri Cancer Registry and Research Center's (MCRARC'S) published interactive maps
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Female breast cancer (FBC) is the most common invasive cancer among women of all races and ethnicities in the United States (US). About 12 percent of women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some ... -
A study of unplanned 30-day hospital readmissions in the United States : early prediction and potentially modifiable risk factor identification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Unplanned hospital readmissions greatly impair patients' quality of life and have imposed a significant economic burden on American society. The pressure to reduce costs and improve healthcare quality has triggered the ... -
Study on the feasibility of data sharing and collecting consumer wearable and mobile survey data to assess physical and mental health status : data quality and study challenges using an opt-in panel
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The use of opt-in panel for health research and smartphones are still in their infancy, and the impact of how opt-in panel members share their ... -
Studying macromolecular interactions on the large scale : a bioinformatics approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Characterization of macromolecular interactions is not only critical for understanding how macromolecules perform their biological functions, such as ... -
Understanding genome composition of eusocial hymenopteran insects
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Genome sequencing of the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera), a model for the biology and evolution of eusocial behavior, has revealed unusual genome compositional characteristics, including a low but heterogeneous GC ... -
Utilizing blockchain technology for clinical trial optimization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Clinical trials are the cornerstone of treatment discovery because they provide comprehensive scientific evidence on the safety, efficacy, and optimal use of therapeutics. However, current clinical trials are facing multiple ...
