Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2... by Michael, Brauer

“…We separated risk factors into three groups according to trajectory over time: those with a decreasing attributable burden, due largely to declining risk exposure (eg, diet high in trans-fat and household air pollution) but also to proportionally smaller child and youth populations (eg, child and maternal malnutrition); those for which the burden increased moderately in spite of declining risk exposure, due largely to population ageing (eg, smoking); and those for which the burden increased considerably due to both increasing risk exposure and population ageing (eg, ambient particulate matter air pollution, high BMI, high FPG, and high SBP). …”

Predicting infarction growth rate II using ANFIS-based binary particle swarm optimization technique in ischemic stroke by Afnan Al-Ali (16888695)

“…One such promising technique, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), has shown potential, but it faces the 'curse of dimensionality' and long training times as the number of features increased. This paper introduces an innovative, automatic method that combines Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) with ANFIS architecture, achieves reduction in dimensionality by reducing the number of rules and training time. …”
