Identifying acute kidney injury subphenotypes using an outcome-driven deep-learning approach.

OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI), a common condition on the intensive-care unit (ICU), is characterized by an abrupt decrease in kidney function within a few hours or days, leading to kidney failure or damage. Although AKI is associated with poor outcomes, current guidelines overlook the heterogeneity among patients with this condition. Identification of AKI subphenotypes could enable targeted...

Rapid and precise detection of cancers via label-free SERS and deep learning.

Early, express, and reliable detection of cancer can provide a favorable prognosis and decrease mortality. Tumor biomarkers have been proven to be closely related to tumor occurrence and development. Conventional tumor biomarker detection based on genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic methods is time and equipment-consuming and always needs a specific target marker. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering...
