Preoperative Expectations Do Not Independently Predict Two-Year Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Hand and Wrist Surgery by Brandon Leon, MD, Samir Kaveeshwar, MD, Yanni Kevas, MD, Daniel Rivkin, BS, Matheus B. Schneider, MD, Leah E. Henry, MD, Evan L. Honig, MD, Michael A. McCurdy, MD, Raymond A. Pensy, MD, Christopher G. Langhammer, MD, Ralph Frank Henn, III, MD

“…Worse preoperative expectations were significantly associated with smoking, worker’s compensation or other legal claim, a greater number of prior surgeries, and worse baseline PROMIS physical function, fatigue, and anxiety (P < .05). Bivariate analysis indicated that greater preoperative expectations were associated with better 2-year PROMIS physical function, PROMIS pain interference, PROMIS fatigue, PROMIS depression, numeric pain scale, surgical satisfaction questionnaire scores, met expectations, and the Brief Michigan Hand Questionnaire (P < .05). …”

miRAW: A deep learning-based approach to predict microRNA targets by analyzing whole microRNA transcripts. by Albert Pla, Xiangfu Zhong, Simon Rayner

“…We collected more than 150,000 experimentally validated homo sapiens miRNA:gene targets and cross referenced them with different CLIP-Seq, CLASH and iPAR-CLIP datasets to obtain ∼20,000 validated miRNA:gene exact target sites. Using this data, we implemented and trained a deep neural network-composed of autoencoders and a feed-forward network-able to automatically learn features describing miRNA-mRNA interactions and assess functionality. …”
