Open Source R Medical Software

OmicSelector is an environment, Docker-based web application, and R package for biomarker signature selection (feature selection) from high-throughput experiments and others. It was initially developed for miRNA-seq (small RNA, smRNA-seq; hence the name was miRNAselector), RNA-seq and qPCR, but can be applied for every problem where numeric features should be selected to counteract overfitting of the models. Using our tool, you can choose features, like miRNAs, with the most significant diagnostic potential (based on the results of miRNA-seq, for validation in qPCR experiments).

Pain2D are programs which were developed for the automated pain drawing collection and classification of diseases on the basis of pain drawings in pen-and-paper and digital form for research purposes. Pain2D is currently not a diagnostic tool, but is aimed at scientists, physicians and anyone interested in the automated analysis of pain drawings.

In recent years, hospital readmissions have increased, affecting public evaluations and pay-for-performance measures. A study developed a predictive model for 90-day hospital readmission in patients undergoing elective vascular procedures. The best predictive model was Shrinkage Discriminant Analysis, which considered variables such as length of stay, comorbidity scores, procedure type, and admission type. The model indicates that efforts to reduce vascular readmissions should prioritize emergency procedures. This risk stratification allows for better identification and prevention of unnecessary readmissions, crucial in an environment where preventing unplanned readmissions is increasingly important.
