Chemotherapy medication errors nursing education and review of literatures

Cancer chemotherapy has a narrow therapeutic window, and patients with cancer often cannot physically tolerate mistakes. Errors in treating patients also have been associated with damages and legal problems such as loss of reputation and confidence in the doctor and hospital, financial loss in law courts, and most importantly risks for patients. Prevention of error is a matter of remaining vigilant, having systems in place to expose mistakes, and having a culture among co-workers that error prevention is a priority.

Computational methods towards image-based biomarkers and beyond

Over the last decades the use of artificial intelligence techniques for biomedical data analysis has been incredibly popular and has opened numerous opportunities to improve medical diagnosis. Especially in the recent years, there has been a drastic development of large-scale databases (genomics, proteomics, imaging), which has given the opportunity to apply deep learning techniques. Particularly in computer vision, convolutional neural networks have rapidly become the tool of choice for the analysis of images.
