The Zika virus (ZIKV) belongs to the genus Flavivirus, together with Dengue virus, yellow fever virus, and West Nile virus. The virus, which was first found in Africa in 1947, has spread across the world owing to a lack of effective drugs or vaccines. The complete genome sequence of ZIKV is now available; it includes three structural and seven non-structure genes arranged in the order of capsid, pre-membrane, envelope, NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5. Two geographically distinct lineages are known, i.e., Asian and African, but ZIKV exhibits differences in clinical progression among regions.

Over the past few years, the novel appeal and increasing popularity of social networks as a medium for users to express their opinions and views have created an accumulation of a massive amount of data. This evolving mountain of data is commonly termed Big Data. Accordingly, one area in which the application of new techniques in data mining research has significant potential to achieve more precise classification of hidden knowledge in Big Data is sentiment analysis (aka optimal mining). A hybrid approach using Naïve Bayes and Random Forest on mining Twitter datasets is presented here as an extension of previous work. Briefly, relevant data sets are collected from Twitter using Twitter API; then, use of the hybrid methodology is illustrated and evaluated against one with only Naïve Bayes classifier. Results show better accuracy and efficiency in the sentiment classification for the hybrid approach.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer affecting women worldwide but is curable if diagnosed early. Routinely, expert pathologists visually examine histology slides for assessing cervix tissue abnormalities. A localized, fusion-based, hybrid imaging and deep learning approach is explored to classify squamous epithelium into cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grades for a dataset of 83 digitized histology images. Partitioning the epithelium region into 10 vertical segments, 27 handcrafted image features and rectangular patch, sliding window-based convolutional neural network features are computed for each segment. The imaging and deep learning patch features are combined and used as inputs to a secondary classifier for individual segment and whole epithelium classification. The hybrid method achieved a 15.51% and 11.66% improvement over the deep learning and imaging approaches alone, respectively, with a 80.72% whole epithelium CIN classification accuracy, showing the enhanced epithelium CIN classification potential of fusing image and deep learning features.

Despite key advances in healthcare informatics and management, little progress to address supply chain process-related problems has been made to date. Specifically, key healthcare supply chain processes include product recalls, monitoring of product supply shortages, expiration, and counterfeits. Implementing and executing these processes in a trusted, secure, efficient, globally accessible and traceable manner is challenging due to the fragmented nature of the healthcare supply chain, which is prone to systemic errors and redundant efforts that may compromise patient safety and impact health outcomes adversely. Blockchain, combined with the Internet of things (IoT), is an emerging technology that can offer a practical solution to these challenges. Accordingly, IoT blockchain offers a superior way to track and trace products via a peer-to-peer distributed, secure, and shared ledger of the blockchain network. This article highlights key challenges related to healthcare supply chains, and illustrates how IoT blockchain technologies can play a role in overcoming these challenges now and in the near future.

Disruptive innovation has transformed business activities as well as individuals throughout a variety of industries. In healthcare, the implementation of electronic health records (EHR) innovation has changed the way healthcare organizations handle patient records. Despite the potential benefits EHR can bring to healthcare organizations, there is evidence to show that healthcare providers are avoiding EHR innovations. Little research in information system mainstream research has addressed this phenomenon. To understand EHR avoidance, a mid-range theory is evoked from this textual analysis of responses gathered from healthcare providers at a large international hospital. The data was analyzed by applying a revealed causal mapping technique (RCM). Results of the study revealed not only the key constructs surrounding EHR avoidance, but also the underlying concepts that are shaping each of these constructs. This study demonstrated that the use of the RCM methodology yielded concepts and constructs of EHR avoidance that are not suggested by generalized theory, and revealed main interactions and linkages between these constructs.

In this article, a new algorithm to select the relevant features is proposed for handling microarray data with the specific aim of increasing classification accuracy. In particular, the optimal genes are extracted using filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms. Here, the use of non-parametric regression algorithm called Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) followed by proposed Random Forest Statistical Test (RFST) algorithm are being studied. The study evaluates the comparative performance of the results of RFST and MARS with existing algorithms on ten standard microarray datasets. For performance analysis, three parameters are taken into consideration, namely, the number of selected features, runtime, and classification accuracy. Experimental results indicate that different feature selection algorithms yield different candidate gene subset; therefore, a Hybrid approach is applied to determine the best candidate genes to provide maximum information about the disease. The findings foretell that the RFST is performing better on six out of ten datasets whereas MARS is performing better on other datasets.

This study was conducted among Vietnamese marriage-migrant women to investigate the effect of both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid healthcare trainings on their knowledge and attitude towards CPR, self-efficacy, and first-aid. The experimental and control groups revealed statistically significant differences across all dependent variables: knowledge of CPR (t = 3.26, p = 0.002); attitude towards CPR (t = 4.46, p = 0.019); self-efficacy during CPR (t = 2.77, p = 0.010); and finally, knowledge on coping with emergency situations (t = 2.77, p = 0.008). A significant difference was indicated in their knowledge and attitude towards CPR, self-efficacy, and first aid depending on whether they attended the healthcare training program, which suggested its educative effect. CPR training and relevant information should be continually provided to Vietnamese marriage-migrant women to maintain this effect, and help provide them with guidelines to deal with an emergency situation faced by their family or neighbors.
