Abstract: A system and related method exchange medical information with a medical management system. The method comprises receiving, using a processor of a code point resolver, from the medical management system, medical text via a network interface. A code point is a single standardized medical terminology code (SMTC) that corresponds to a medical concept contained within the medical text. The method further applies rule-based logic to process the medical text to form a localized mapping of a text portion of the medical text to a plurality of candidate SMTCs (CSMTCs) that are related to at least one metathesaurus concept entity (MCE) in a metathesaurus, and to determines the code point from the CSMTCs. The method transmits, via the network interface, to the medical management system, the code point.

Abstract: Techniques for cognitively interpreting comparative statements are provided. A corpus of documents associated with treatment of a first medical disorder is received. Relative efficacies for a plurality of therapies are determined by, for at least a first respective document in the corpus of documents, identifying and extracting, using one or more natural language processing techniques, a conclusion specified within natural language text of the respective document, where the conclusion includes a comparison between two or more therapies of the plurality of therapies, determining a sentiment of the extracted conclusion, with respect to at least one therapy of the plurality of therapies, and identifying one or more cohorts of patients that are associated with the conclusion. A knowledge graph is generated based on the relative efficacies.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system device for receiving, at a computing device, a plurality of candidate therapy options, a corpus of therapy data, and a set of therapy recipient cohorts. At least a portion of therapy data may be filtered from the corpus of therapy data based upon, at least in part, the plurality of candidate therapy options and the set of therapy recipient cohorts. A graph may be generated to include a plurality of nodes representative of the plurality of candidate therapy options and a plurality of connections between the plurality of nodes indicating a sentiment factor with respect to the plurality of candidate therapy options based upon, at least in part, the at least a portion of therapy data filtered from the corpus of therapy data. Using the graph, a ranked list of the plurality of candidate therapy options may be generated.

Abstract: An invention is described for securely deploying a provable identity for virtual machines (VMs) in a dynamic environment. In an embodiment, a fabric controller instructs a VM host to create a VM and sends that VM a secret. The fabric controller sends that same secret (or a second secret, such as the private key of a public/private key pair) to the security token service along with an instruction to make an account for the VM. The VM presents proof that it possesses the secret to the security token service and in return receives a full token. When a client connects to the deployment, it receives the public key from the security token service, which it trusts, and the full token from the VM. It validates the full token with the public key to determine that the VM has the identity that it purports to have.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for facilitating coordination between a fabric controller of a cloud-computing network and a service application running in the cloud-computing network are provided. Initially, an update domain (UD) that includes role instance(s) of the service application is selected, where the service application represents a stateful application is targeted for receiving a tenant job executed thereon. The process of coordination involves preparing the UD for execution of the tenant job, disabling the role instance(s) of the UD to an offline condition, allowing the tenant job to execute, and restoring the role instance(s) to an online condition upon completing execution of the tenant job.

Abstract: The movement of a Virtual IP (VIP) address from cluster node to cluster node is coordinated via a load balancer. All or a subset of the nodes in a load balancer cluster may be configured as possible hosts for the VIP. The load balancer directs VIP traffic to the Dedicated IP (DIP) address for the cluster node that responds affirmatively to periodic health probe messages. In this way, a VIP failover is executed when a first node stops responding to probe messages, and a second node starts to respond to the periodic health probe messages. In response to an affirmative probe response from a new node, the load balancer immediately directs the VIP traffic to the new node's DIP. The probe messages may be configured to identify which nodes are currently responding affirmatively to probes to assist the nodes in determining when to execute a failover.
