Role of Serum and Urinary Hepcidin in Young Females of Reproductive Age in North India.

 Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional disorders in the world affecting young females of the reproductive age group. Indeed, an ideal screening test should be capable of identifying iron deficiency long before developing anemia. Henceforth, the present study was aimed to determine utility of hepcidin in iron deficiency and to see its correlation with different iron indices.  This...

Biologically informed deep neural network for prostate cancer discovery.

The determination of molecular features that mediate clinically aggressive phenotypes in prostate cancer remains a major biological and clinical challenge. Recent advances in interpretability of machine learning models as applied to biomedical problems may enable discovery and prediction in clinical cancer genomics. Here we developed P-NET-a biologically informed deep learning model-to stratify pa...
