Publication Citation Count: Yıldırım, Pınar; Tolun, Mehmet R., "Induction for radiology patients", Electronic Healthcare, Vol.1, pp.208-220, (2009).Induction for radiology patients(Springer, 2009) Yıldırım, Pınar; Tolun, Mehmet R.; 101956This paper represents the implementation of an inductive learning algorithm for patients of Radiology Department in Hacettepe University hospitals to discover the relationship between patient demo-graphics information and time that patients spend during a specific radiology exam. ILA has been used for the implementation which generates rules and the results are evaluated by evaluation metrics. According to generated rules, some patients in different age groups or birthplaces may spend more time for the same radiology exam than the others.Article Citation Count: Yildirim, Pinar...et al. "Mining Medline for the Treatment of Osteoporosis", Journal of Medical Systems, Vol. 36, No. 4, pp. 2339-2347, (2012)Mining Medlıne for the Treatment of Osteoporosis(Springer, 2012) Yıldırım, Pınar; Çeken, Çınar; Hassanpour, Reza; Esmelioğlu, Sadık; Tolun, Mehmet R.; 101956In this paper, we consider the importance of osteoporosis disease in terms of medical research and pharmaceutical industry and we introduce a knowledge discovery approach regarding the treatment of osteoporosis from a historical perspective. Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease in which osteoporotic fractures are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality and impaired quality of life. Osteoporosis has also higher costs, for example, longer hospital stays than many other diseases such as diabetes and heart attack and it is an attractive market for pharmaceutical companies. We use a freely available biomedical search engine leveraging text-mining technology to extract the drug names used in the treatment of osteoporosis from MEDLINE articles. We conclude that alendronate (Fosamax) and raloxifene (Evista) have the highest number of articles in MEDLINE and seem the dominating drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis in the last decade.Article Citation Count: Yildirim, Pinar...et al. "Prediction of Similarities Among Rheumatic Diseases", Journal Of Medıcal Systems, Vol. 36, No. 3, pp. 1485-1490, (2012)Prediction Of Similarities Among Rheumatic Diseases(Springer, 2012) Yıldırım, Pınar; Çeken, Çınar; Hassanpour, Reza; Tolun, Mehmet R.; 101956We introduce a method for extracting hidden patterns seen in rheumatic diseases by using articles from the widely used biomedical database MEDLINE. Rheumatic diseases affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide and lead to substantial loss of functioning and mobility. Diagnosing rheumatic diseases can be difficult because some symptoms are common to many of them. We use Facta system as a biomedical text mining tool for finding symptoms and then create a dataset with the frequencies of symptoms for each disease and apply hierarchical clustering analysis to find similarities between diseases. Clustering analysis yields four distinct types or groups of rheumatic diseases. Although our results cannot remove all the uncertainty for the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases, we believe they can contribute to the diagnosis of rheumatic diseases to a certain extent. We hope that some similarities exposed can provide additional information at the stage of decision-making.
