Dialysis: when to start or when to stop?

Sir, There have been several recent discussions around the timing of initiation of dialysis [1,2]. There remains little scientific consensus on when to start and on which clinical and biochemical parameters we base this decision. In the broadest sense, dialysis should serve to decrease morbidity and/or mortality whilst maintaining or improving quality of life. It is almost assumed that renal re...

Time to talk about timing--when to start, stop and change anti-migratory drugs in MS.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MSJ JOURNAL Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease, and the relapsing–remitting form of MS (RRMS) is widely considered to be the most inflammatory phenotype of MS. There are currently eight approved therapies for patients with RRMS. Not surprisingly, all of these medications are anti-inflammatory. The mechanisms of action of agents that were approved in the 1990s ...

When to Stop-and-Frisk

This project was intended to demonstrate the bias that machine learning algorithms may learn. We wanted to explore the impact bias has on these algorithms and explore the methods that help correct these biases. Given data about stop-and-frisks instances, we ran several different models on the data and maximized the accuracies achieved by these models. After tuning the hyper parameters of the mo...
