Background/Aims: As risk of colorectal neoplasm is varied even in persons with “average-risk,” risk evaluation and tailored screening are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of high-risk adenoma (HRA) in healthy individuals and determine the characteristics of advanced neoplasia (AN) among individual polyps.Methods: Asymptomatic adults who underwent the first lifetime screening colonoscopy at the Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center (SNUH GC) were recruited from 2004 to 2007 as SNUH GC Cohort and were followed for 10 years. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between the subjects with and without AN (≥10 mm in size, villous component, and/or high-grade dysplasia and/or cancer) or HRA (AN and/or 3 or more adenomas). For individual polyps, correlations between clinical or endoscopic features and histologic grades were evaluated using a decision tree method.Results: A total of 6,047 subjects were included and 5,621 polyps were found in 2,604 (43%) subjects. Advanced age, male sex, and current smoking status were statistically significant with regards to AN and HRA. A lower incidence of AN was observed in subjects taking aspirin. In the decision tree model, the location, shape, and size of the polyp, and sex of the subject were key predictors of the pathologic type. A weak but significant association was observed between the prediction of the final tree and the histological grouping (Kendall's tau-c = 0.142, p < 0001).Conclusions: Advanced neoplasia and HRA can be predicted using several individual characteristics and decision tree models.

Beauty is a precious asset for everyone. Everyone wants to have a healthy face. Unfortunately, there are always those problems that pops out on its own. For example, acnes, freckles, wrinkles, dull, oily and dry skin. Therefore, nowadays, there are a lot of beauty clinics available to help those who wants to solve their beauty troubles. But, not everyone can enjoy the facilities of those beauty clinics, for example those in the suburbs. The uneven distribution of doctors and the expensive cost of treatments are some of the reasons. In this research, the system that could help the patients to find the solution of their beauty problems is built. The decision tree method is used to take decision based on the shown schematic. Based on the system’s experiment, the average accuracy level hits 100%. Index Terms–Acnes, Decision Tree, Dry Skin, Dull, Facial Problems, Freckles, Wrinkles, Oily Skin, Eexpert System.

AbstractCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally, and the early identification of high risk is crucial to prevent the disease and to reduce healthcare costs. Short life expectancy and increased mortality among the Roma are generally accepted (although not indeed proven by mortality analyses) which can be partially explained by the high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) among them. This study aims to elaborate on the prevalence of the most important CVD risk factors, assess the estimation of a 10-year risk of development of fatal and nonfatal CVDs based on the most used risk assessment scoring models, and to compare the Hungarian general (HG) and Roma (HR) populations. In 2018 a complex health survey was accomplished on the HG (n = 380) and HR (n = 347) populations. The prevalence of CVRS was defined and 10-year cardiovascular risk was estimated for both study populations using the following systems: Framingham Risk Score for hard coronary heart disease (FRSCHD) and for cardiovascular disease (FRSCVD), Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) and Revised Pooled Cohort Equations (RPCE). After the risk scores had been calculated, the populations were divided into risk categories and all subjects were classified. For all CVD risk estimation scores, the average of the estimated risk was higher among Roma compared to the HG independently of the gender. The proportion of high-risk group in the Hungarian Roma males population was on average 1.5–3 times higher than in the general one. Among Roma females, the average risk value was higher than in the HG one. The proportion of high-risk group in the Hungarian Roma females population was on average 2–3 times higher compared to the distribution of females in the general population. Our results show that both genders in the Hungarian Roma population have a significantly higher risk for a 10-year development of cardiovascular diseases and dying from them compared to the HG one. Therefore, cardiovascular interventions should be focusing not only on reducing smoking among Roma but on improving health literacy and service provision regarding prevention, early recognition, and treatment of lipid disorders and diabetes among them.

One of the health problems in Indonesia is the problem of nutritional status of children under five years. Cases of malnutrition are not only a family problem, but also a state problem. The nutritional status of children under five years can be assessed by measuring the human body known as "Anthropometry". To be able to carry out anthropometric examinations and measurements in order to find out the nutritional status of children under five, they can go to public health service places such as the Posyandu. We went to the KENANGA Posyandu located in Wonorejo, Kerasaan sub-district, Simalungun district. The purpose of this study will be to test the model for the classification of nutritional status of children under the WHO-2005 reference standard by utilizing data mining techniques using the Decision Tree method C4.5 Algorithm.
