A Case Base View of Heart Failure Predisposition Risk
Vicente, Henrique; Martins, M. Rosário; Duarte, Margarida; Miguel, Patrícia; Grañeda, José M.; Caldeira, Filomena; Vilhena, João; Neves, JoãoHeart failure stands for an abnormality in cardiac structure or function which results in the incapability of the heart to deliver oxygen at an ideal rate. This is a worldwide problem of public health, characterized by high mortality, frequent hospitalization and reduced quality of life. Thus, this work will focus on the development of a decision support system to assess heart failure predisposing risk. The fra...
An Integrated Soft Computing Approach to Hughes Syndrome Risk Assessment
Vilhena, João; Martins, M. Rosário; Vicente, Henrique; Grañeda, José M.; Caldeira, Filomena; Gusmão, Rodrigo; Neves, João; Neves, JoséThe AntiPhospholipid Syndrome (APS) is an acquired autoimmune disorder induced by high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies that cause arterial and veins thrombosis, as well as pregnancy-related complications and morbidity, as clinical manifestations. This autoimmune hypercoagulable state, usually known as Hughes syndrome, has severe consequences for the patients, being one of the main causes of thrombotic dis...
An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Thrombophilia Risk
Vilhena, João; Vicente, Henrique; Martins, M. Rosário; Grañeda, José M.; Caldeira, Filomena; Gusmão, Rodrigo; Neves, João; Neves, JoséThrombophilia stands for a genetic or an acquired tendency to hypercoagulable states, frequently as venous thrombosis. Venous thromboembolism, represented mainly by deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is often a chronic illness, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the cause of the disease, the most appropriate treatment, the length of treatment or preven...
Antiphospholipid Syndrome Risk Evaluation
Vilhena, João; Vicente, Henrique; Martins, M. Rosário; Grañeda, José M.; Caldeira, Filomena; Gusmão, Rodrigo; Neves, João; Neves, JoséThe antiphospholipid syndrome is an acquired autoimmune disorder produced by high titers of antiphospholipid antibodies that cause both arterial and veins thrombosis as well as pregnancy-related complications and morbidity, as clinical manifestations. This autoimmune hypercoagulable state, often associated with coronary artery disease and recurrent Acute Myocardium Infraction, has severe consequences for the pa...
