BACKGROUND: Manually extracted imaging-based body composition measures from a single-slice area (A) have shown associations with clinical outcomes in patients with cardiometabolic disease and cancer. With advances in artificial intelligence, fully au...
BACKGROUND: Alterations in ileal Paneth cell (PC) density have been described in gut inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease (CD) and could be used as a biomarker for disease prognosis. However, quantifying PCs is time-intensive, a barrier for ...
BACKGROUND: Due to its late stage of diagnosis lung cancer is the commonest cause of death from cancer in the UK. Existing epidemiological risk models in clinical usage, which have Positive Predictive Values (PPV) of less than 10%, do not consider th...
BACKGROUND: While many patients seem to recover from SARS-CoV-2 infections, many patients report experiencing SARS-CoV-2 symptoms for weeks or months after their acute COVID-19 ends, even developing new symptoms weeks after infection. These long-term...
BACKGROUND: Depressive symptoms are rising in the general population, but their associated factors are unclear. Although the link between sleep disturbances and depressive symptoms severity (DSS) is reported, the predictive role of sleep on DSS and t...
BACKGROUND: Deployment and access to state-of-the-art precision medicine technologies remains a fundamental challenge in providing equitable global cancer care in low-resource settings. The expansion of digital pathology in recent years and its poten...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart arrhythmia worldwide and is linked to a higher risk of mortality and morbidity. To predict AF and AF-related complications, clinical risk scores are commonly employed, but their predictive...
BACKGROUND: Electroencephalography (EEG) has a long history as a clinical tool to study brain function, and its potential to derive biomarkers for various applications is far from exhausted. Machine learning (ML) can guide future innovation by harnes...
The human transcriptome predominantly consists of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), transcripts that do not encode proteins. The noncoding transcriptome governs a multitude of pathophysiological processes, offering a rich source of next-generation biomarkers....
