The dynamics of hepatitis B transmission with treatment and vaccination: A case study in the Ili Region of Xinjiang, China, by a physics-informed neural networks approach.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a leading cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide, and long-term control relies on sustained immunization and effective reduction of transmission. In high-burden settings, vaccination programs have expanded substantially, but there still exist differences in the immune response effect after vaccination and the phenomenon of post-vaccinati...

Immunological Drug-Drug Interactions in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: Mechanisms, Clinical Evidence, and Artificial Intelligence.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy, producing durable responses across multiple malignancies. However, treatment outcomes may be influenced by immunological drug-drug interactions (DDIs) arising from commonly prescribed concomitant medications. Unlike classical pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic DDIs, these interactions operate through systemic m...

Single-cell and machine learning reveal ROS-associated heterogeneity in hepatocellular carcinoma for precision medicine.

BACKGROUND: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical regulators of tumor development and progression, yet their clinical significance and cellular m...

The Combination of Machine Learning and Metabolomics for the Clinical Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

The early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lacks biomarkers with a high sensitivity and specificity. This study was to find sensitive and s...

Hemovigilance in a Brazilian Amazon blood center: A temporal analysis of 5-year consumption patterns.

BACKGROUND: The transfusion of blood components remains a cornerstone in the management of hematological and onco-hematological diseases. Effective bl...

Single-cell and deep learning identify hypoxia-responsive lncRNAs predicting outcomes in colorectal cancer.

Emerging evidence highlights hypoxia-responsive long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as potential modulators in tumor biology. In this study, we explored th...

Machine learning to predict survival in patients treated for hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review.

A predictive 14-gene signature and FLI1 inhibition overcome tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte dysfunction in triple-negative breast cancer.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype lacking effective targeted therapies. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors such as pemb...

Copper transporters promote the malignant progression of glioblastoma by regulating the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment via the SLC31A1-WNT5A axis.

BACKGROUND: The prognosis for patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains extremely poor, a challenge largely attributable to the complex nature of its m...

Application of machine-learning algorithms to identify the key determinants of risk for HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B in primary care settings.

BACKGROUND: Testing for Blood-Borne-Viruses (BBVs) such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV)...

Involved nodal versus elective neck radiotherapy (INVERT) for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a prospective phase II randomized controlled trial protocol.

BACKGROUND: Definitive chemoradiotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) carries significant long-term toxicities, with elective ne...

Screening of Sepsis Diagnostic Biomarkers Based on Fumarate Metabolism-Related Genes with Analysis of Immune Infiltration and Subtype Identification.
