Abstract Adverse drug events (ADEs) are the fourth leading cause of death in US and cost billions dollars annually increased healthcare costs. However, few machine-readable databases ADEs exist, limiting opportunity to study safety on a broader, systematic scale. Recent advances Natural Language Processing methods, such as BERT models, present an accurately extract relevant information from unstructured biomedical text. As such, we fine-tuned PubMedBERT model ADE terms descriptive text FDA...
Cancer staging is an essential clinical attribute informing patient prognosis and trial eligibility. However, it not routinely recorded in structured electronic health records. Here, we present BB-TEN: Big Bird - TNM Extracted from Notes, a generalizable method for the automated classification of stage directly pathology report text. We train BERT-based model using publicly available reports across approximately 7000 patients 23 cancer types. explore use different types, with differing input...
Incomplete reporting of a study's methods and results hinders efforts to evaluate reproduce research findings in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), leading potential harm. While CONSORT guidelines were established ensure transparency reproducibility RCTs, comprehensive adherence assessment has been infeasible at scale. We demonstrate that GPT-4o-mini used out the box achieves state-of-the-art performance evaluating RCT quality (F1 score: 0.85; precision: 0.96), with validated by expert...
Freshwater forested wetlands account for ~76% (918 M ha) of the total global wetland extent. However, freshwater are difficult to distinguish from upland forest due canopy coverage, abundance wetland-nonwetland mosaics, seasonal hydropatterns, and fewer readily observable connections large surface water bodies relative marshes other emergent habitats. Therefore, ecosystems often misclassified as forests in carbon accounting models, underestimating soil organic (SOC) storage. This study...
Abstract Scientists are increasingly exploring soil carbon (C) stabilization processes that protect organic C from microbial decomposition. Mineral‐associated matter (MAOM) is considered one of the most protected pools C, but remains understudied in wetland soils relative to upland soils. Using complementary intact core and bottle incubation studies, this research investigated how fine sediment addition, form dredged sediment, impacts respiration MAOM coastal vary by (SOM) content particle...
The need for practical, repeatable, and technically sound ecosystem assessment methods remains essential to natural resource management. Rapid methodologies determining condition function continue expansion, especially within wetlands. Few studies determine the accuracy of rapid approaches by applying quantitative parameters, with respect biogeochemical functions. Functional measurements require extensive sampling analytical expertise, beyond financial time constraints most restoration...
Abstract The accurate and timely identification of soil morphological indicators anaerobic conditions is critical for the proper documentation hydric soils prolonged saturation. Iron monosulfide (FeS) forms under following complexation Fe reduced S to form insoluble, black very dark gray (value ≤ 4, chroma 1) concentrations and/or coatings. These features are observable as soft masses or pore linings dispersed throughout matrix in concentrated zones FeS. Variation environmental result a wide...
Over 300,000 ha of forested wetlands have undergone restoration within the Mississippi Alluvial Valley region. Restored forest successional stage varies, providing opportunities to document wetland functional increases across a large scale chronosequence using Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) approach. Results from >600 restored study sites spanning 25 year indicate that: 1) assessment variables increased toward reference conditions; 2) generally follow expected recovery trajectories; and 3) functions...
The Sarracenia spp. (pitcher plant) bogs located along the southern Gulf of Mexico represent a unique natural resource characterized by endangered and endemic wetland floral communities that include number carnivorous plants (e.g., pitcher Drosera [sundews]). Despite prevalence obligate plant species indicators hydrology, soils underlying this niche ecosystem often lack clear hydric soil morphology, posing challenges to delineation management. National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils an...
