Using A Natural Language Processing Tool For Electronic Health Records In Assessing Colonoscopy Quality
Jun 25, 2012
A new study shows that natural language processing programs can "read" dictated reports and provide information to allow measurement of colonoscopy quality in an inexpensive, automated and efficient manner. The quality variation observed in the study within a single academic hospital system reinforces the need for routine quality measurement... Read More

The study, published in the journal Brain, is the first to investigate overall cancer risk in MS patients in North America... Read More
Darwin's Principles Say Cancer Will Always Evolve To Resist Treatment But Natural Selection May Also Hold Key To Thwarting Drug Resistance
Jun 25, 2012
According to researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center, cancer is subject to the evolutionary processes laid out by Charles Darwin in his concept of natural selection. Natural selection was the process identified by Darwin by which nature selects certain physical attributes, or phenotypes, to pass on to offspring to better "fit" the organism to the environment...
