PURPOSE: Xerostomia commonly occurs in patients who undergo head and neck radiation therapy and can seriously affect patients' quality of life. In this study, we developed a xerostomia prediction model with radiation treatment data using a 3-dimensio...
BACKGROUND: Ontology has attracted substantial attention from both academia and industry. Handling uncertainty reasoning is important in researching ontology. For example, when a patient is suffering from cirrhosis, the appearance of abdominal vein v...
PURPOSE: To assess the utility of deep learning in the detection of geographic atrophy (GA) from color fundus photographs and to explore potential utility in detecting central GA (CGA).
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was: To test whether machine learning classifiers for transition zone (TZ) and peripheral zone (PZ) can correctly classify prostate tumors into those with/without a Gleason 4 component, and to compare the performa...

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance during treatment is associated with a better prognosis among patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Significant gaps remain in our understanding on how to predict HBsAg seroclearance accurately and ...
The growing body of knowledge in biomedicine is too vast for human consumption. Hence there is a need for automated systems able to navigate and distill the emerging wealth of information. One fundamental task to that end is relation extraction, wher...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Risk prediction models aim at identifying people at higher risk of developing a target disease. Feature selection is particularly important to improve the prediction model performance avoiding overfitting and to identify the...
BACKGROUND: Drug candidates often cause an unwanted blockage of the potassium ion channel of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG). The blockage leads to long QT syndrome (LQTS), which is a severe life-threatening cardiac side effect. Therefore...
BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy is an emerging approach in cancer treatment that activates the host immune system to destroy cancer cells expressing unique peptide signatures (neoepitopes). Administrations of cancer-specific neoepitopes in the form of synt...
