A potential new way to facilitate HCV elimination: The prediction of viremia in anti-HCV seropositive patients using machine learning algorithms.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The present study was undertaken to design a new machine learning (ML) model that can predict the presence of viremia in hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody (anti-HCV) seropositive cases.

HBCVTr: an end-to-end transformer with a deep neural network hybrid model for anti-HBV and HCV activity predictor from SMILES.

Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) are significant causes of chronic liver diseases, with approximately 350 million infections globally. To accelerate the finding of effective treatment options, we introduce HBCVTr, a novel ligand-based drug design (LBDD) method for predicting the inhibitory activity of small molecules against HBV and HCV. HBCVTr employs a hybrid model consisting of double en...

Investigation of the effectiveness of a classification method based on improved DAE feature extraction for hepatitis C prediction.

Hepatitis C, a particularly dangerous form of viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, is a major socio-economic and public health...

Machine-learning-based plasma metabolomic profiles for predicting long-term complications of cirrhosis.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The complications of liver cirrhosis occur after long asymptomatic stages of progressive fibrosis and are generally diagnosed lat...

An artificial intelligence-generated model predicts 90-day survival in alcohol-associated hepatitis: A global cohort study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) poses significant short-term mortality. Existing prognostic models lack precision for 90-day mo...

A natural language processing algorithm accurately classifies steatotic liver disease pathology to estimate the risk of cirrhosis.

BACKGROUND: Histopathology remains the gold standard for diagnosing and staging metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The ...

Machine learning framework develops neutrophil extracellular traps model for clinical outcome and immunotherapy response in lung adenocarcinoma.
