BACKGROUND Fine needle aspiration is the main diagnostic tool used to assess thyroid nodules. OBJECTIVES To correlate FNA cytology results with surgical pathological findings in two teaching medical centers across the Atlantic. METHODS We retrospectively identified 484 patients at Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem and Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, by means of both preop...

The SINAI research group presents some results obtained after performing a brief analysis to the query logs from The European Library(TEL). The objective of the LogCLEF task is to analyze user behavior with a focus on multilingual search. The analysis carried out in this paper is related to the languages used in sessions, the number of interactions per session and the separability of sessions a...

This paper describes the SINAI team participation in the ImageCLEF campaign. In this paper we only explain the experiments accomplished in the medical task. We have experimented with query expansion and the text information of the collection. For expansion, we carry out experiments using MeSH ontology and UMLS separately. With respect to text collection, we have used three different collections...

This paper reports our work on CLEF and CrossLanguage Information Retrieval using CLEF resources. We aim to construct a highly languageindependent CLIR model. To accomplish this objective, several problems must be overcome: text translation or pseudo-translation and merging the obtained results for each language for a given query. Three issues of text-translation are investigated: the impact of...

This paper describes the SINAI team participation in the ImagePhoto CLEF campaign. Last years translation approaches and different Information Retrieval systems were tested. In 2008 the imagePhoto task does not include multilingual queries, so translation methods are not necessary. This year the baseline experiment uses the parameters that obtain the best results in past campaigns. The novelty ...
