Global variation in diabetes diagnosis and prevalence based on fasting glucose ...
Zhou, Bin; Sheffer, Kate E.; Bennett, James E.; Gregg, Edward W.; Danaei, Goodarz; Singleton, Rosie K.; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Mishra, AnuFasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are both used to diagnose diabetes, but these measurements can identify different people as having diabetes. We used data from 117 population-based studies and quantified, in different world regions, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes, and whether those who were previously undiagnosed and detected as having diabetes in survey screening, had elevated FPG,...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of ...

Testing extensive use of NER tools in article classification and a statistical ...
Lourenço, Anália; Conover, Michael; Wong, Andrew; Pan, Fengxia; Abi-Haidar, Alaa; Nematzadeh, Azadeh; Shatkay, Hagit; Rocha, L. M.We participated (as Team 81) in the Article Classification (ACT) and Interaction Method (IMT) subtasks of the Protein-Protein Interaction task of the Biocreative III Challenge. For the ACT we pursued an extensive testing of available Named Entity Recognition (NER) tools, and used the most promising ones to extend our the Variable Trigonometric Threshold (VTT) linear classifier we successfully used in BioCreativ...
