-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Understanding the true incidence and prevalence of a disease has tremendous value for the biopharmaceutical industry, particularly for orphan diseases that affect a minority of the population (in the US, the definition of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This work is an attempt to explain wide variations in drug licensing deal value by using regression modeling to describe and predict the relationship between oncology drug deal characteristics and their licensing deal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This work investigates the nature of the memory mechanisms utilized in language comprehension. Through the use of the Speed Accuracy Tradeoff (SAT) paradigm (Wickelgren, 1977), healthy young adults were studied for the use ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Clinical documentation by physicians and nurses has struggled to evolve with advancing technology and societal requirements. Originally designed as a physician's personal notes for a patient, the modern medical record ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)(cont.) The EWS models were then tested in a forward, casual manner on a random cohort of 500 ICU patients to mimic the patients' stay in the unit. The model with the highest performance achieved a sensitivity of 0.85 and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Fifteen years ago lin-4 was reported to be the first endogenous small non-coding, but interfering RNA structure involved in developmental timing in C. elegans. First thought not, or only rarely, to occur in mammals, microRNAs ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Composite hydrogels find increasing use as biomaterials because the addition of a filler often improves on the material properties of the original matrix, or provides new optical, magnetic, conductive or bioactive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Merging of clinical systems and medical databases, or aggregation of information from disparate databases, frequently requires a process where vocabularies are compared and similar concepts are mapped. Using a normalization ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Health communications use factual information or/and personal testimonials to inform and influence individual decisions that enhance health. Increasingly, Web and other computer-based systems are being used to communicate ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Pharmaceutical productivity, as measured by annual output of new molecular entities and new therapeutic biologics, has fallen significantly since reaching a peak in 1996. According to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This thesis asks one basic question: how do "vertical" disease- or intervention-focused global health programs impact the underlying health systems of the nations they serve? Vertical programs-health aid focused on a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Investors have difficulty funding the life sciences because of the high risks involved in research and development and commercialization of new products. Risk in the biopharmaceutical industry is the result of scientific, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The purpose of this research is to investigate potential strategic variables that executives at small to mid-sized biopharmaceutical companies should consider during the period of a drug launch. Bringing a product to market ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Location tracking systems in healthcare produce a wealth of data applicable across many aspects of care and management. However, since dedicated location tracking systems, such as the oft mentioned RFID tracking system, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Some have argued that the genetic differences between continentally defined groups are relatively small and unlikely to have biomedical significance. In this study, the extent of variation between continentally defined ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Collective intelligence techniques have been used to predict stock prices, customer purchasing habits, movies and books preferences for years, yet they remain unused in the medical profession. With the increasing adoption ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Here we describe an experimental method for measuring the acoustic transmission matrix of the middle-ear using otoacoustic emissions. The experiment builds on previous work that uses distortion product otoacoustic emissions ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)I study several aspects of the value in performing oncology clinical trials using screening biomarkers to preferentially select and enroll responders. From trial reports and investigational reports on potential biomarkers, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)My first hypothesis in this thesis is that there is significant value vested in traditional Chinese medicine that can be captured by converting them into ethical drugs through scientific analysis, screening and validation. ...
