“…This study showed that metformin use cannot improve the overall survival rate of patients with advanced EHCC ([95% CI]: -17.05-0.375, t=−1.889, P value = 0.061), but the survival time of patients with drainage treatment from control group (n=496) was significantly shorter than that of patients with drainage treatment from the study group (n=113), and the difference was statistically significant (z=−2.230, P value = 0.026). There were significant differences between metformin used before or after the diagnosis of advanced EHCC (OR[95% CI], 3.432[2.617-4.502]; P value = 0.001) in survival time. …”

Personalised Affective Classification Through Enhanced EEG Signal Analysis by Joseph Barrowclough, Nonso Nnamoko, Ioannis Korkontzelos

“…Notably, the Decision Tree algorithm consistently excelled in the personalised mode, achieving an accuracy improvement of 0.85% ([Formula: see text]) on the MUSE dataset and a 4.30% improvement on the DEAP dataset, which was also statistically significant ([Formula: see text]). Both Decision Tree models were more efficient than their generalised counterpart with 1.270 and 23.020-s efficiency gain on the MUSE and DEAP datasets, respectively.Conclusions This research concludes that smaller, personalised models are a far more effective way of conducting affective classification, and this was validated with both small (MUSE) and large (DEAP) datasets consisting of EEG samples from 4 to 32 subjects, respectively.…”
