Computer-aided diagnosis system for thoracic computed tomography of rib fractures in older emergency patients: A preliminary study.

The peculiarities of older individuals related to osteoporosis and hyperostosis may lead to a higher rate of misdiagnosis of rib fractures on computed tomography (CT) images in older than in middle-aged/young people when using radiologist-only reading. However, none of these studies on rib fracture computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems grouped patients by age or evaluated the value of using CAD ...

Machine learning model based on clinical and imaging features for predicting fungal infections in children with leukemia.

BACKGROUND: Due to immunosuppression, mucosal barrier injury, and prolonged neutropenia resulting from both the disease and chemotherapy, along with the frequent use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and glucocorticoids, children with leukemia are at a high risk of invasive fungal disease (IFD). The present study aimed to develop an effective machine learning model to predict fungal infections in chil...

Proteomic and machine learning analysis predicts treatment response signatures in Myasthenia Gravis.

BACKGROUND: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a prototypical antibody-mediated autoimmune disease with variable treatment responses with a need for biomarkers...

[Construction and validation of a prognostic prediction model for children-onset initial steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome].

Transcriptomic profiling identifies immunotherapy-responsive phenotypes in microsatellite-stable metastatic colorectal cancer.

Conventional immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remain largely ineffective in microsatellite-stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC), where lo...

Dissecting PCD-driven molecular landscapes in AML: a multi-omic framework for prognostication and therapeutic targeting.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a molecularly heterogeneous malignancy with poor prognosis, necessitating robust biomarkers for risk stratificati...

Multi-omics analysis identifies GINS1 as a prognostic biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma, linked to macrophage polarization and tumor cell survival.

This study aimed to identify essential genes driving lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression by integrating CRISPR-Cas9 dependency data from the Cancer...

Machine learning-based identification of basement membrane-related signature to predict recurrence and immunotherapy benefit in bladder cancer.

The basement membrane (BM) plays a critical role in regulating bladder cancer (BC) progression. However, a BM-related signature for predicting BC recu...

A myeloid immunosuppressive phenotype defines primary refractoriness to atezolizumab Plus bevacizumab in hepatocellular caarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Despite improved outcomes with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (A+B) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), primary refractoriness (PRef), chara...

Predicting survival in extremely preterm infants: A multicenter machine learning study from Spain.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Accurately predicting outcomes in extremely preterm infants remains a major challenge in neonatology. Traditional scores suc...

Machine learning prediction of childhood nephrotic syndrome outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Children with steroid-resistant, frequently relapsing, and steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome experience high disease and treatment-rela...

RRBP1 promotes osimertinib resistance by activating fatty acid oxidation-dependent metabolic and immune reprogramming in EGFR-Mutant lung adenocarcinoma.

Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor that improves clinical outcomes in patients with E...

AI-driven discovery of synergistic combinations from Psoralea corylifolia fruit for treating osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND: Estrogen-deficient osteoporosis demands safe and effective therapies. Psoralea corylifolia fruit (PCF), a phytoestrogenic herbal medicine ...
