Particular steps of this type of data fusion are described in the sections " SVM-RFE" and " Classification of individual and fused plasma and CSF datasets".
The fusion was achieved by using the approach described in the " Materials and methods" section (subsections " SVM-RFE" and " Classification of individual and fused plasma and CSF datasets").
To make a distinction between patients with and without evidence of plasma leakage an additional classification could be useful [ 4, 5].
In this study, we aim to investigate the evolution of the Chinese medicine syndrome in myocardial infarction induced heart failure and to confirm the feasibility of the Zheng classification by plasma metabonomics in a syndrome and disease combination animal model.
Diagnosis of diabetes is based on the American Diabetes Association criteria for diagnosis and classification of diabetes (i.e. casual plasma glucose > 11.1 mmol/L or a fasting plasma glucose > 7.0 mmol/L and symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss) 10.
This chapter gives brief general classification of main plasma phenomena and describes different types of plasma particle collisions, waves and instabilities, plasma-wall transition, electron emission mechanisms and wall ablation in the presence of relatively hot plasmas.
Clinical information including ascites, pleural effusion and circulatory disturbance as a result of plasma leakage were collected to enable disease classification.
The following data were collected: age, sex, CDC classification of HIV, CD4 and lymphocyte counts, plasma HIV RNA load, history of drug allergy, concomitant medication.
The clinical classification of hyperglycemia was based on fasting plasma glucose levels greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL, or on taking medication for diabetes.
AKI was defined at ICU admission based on the risk, injury, failure, loss of kidney function, and end-stage kidney disease (RIFLE) classification, using plasma creatinine changes.
