Plasma proteomics provides a unique opportunity to enhance disease prediction by capturing protein expression patterns linked to diverse pathological processes. Leveraging data from 2,923 proteins measured in 53,030 UK Biobank participants, we develo...
BACKGROUND: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is generally thought to be neuroprotective, yet results have been inconsistent. Here, we present a comprehensive study of MHT use and brain characteristics in females from the UK Biobank.
In recent years, post-mortem imaging has advanced with techniques such as Post-Mortem Computed Tomography (PMCT) and Post-Mortem Magnetic Resonance imaging (PMMR). PMCT is particularly useful for assessing skeletal injuries, vascular lesions, and est...
BACKGROUND: The atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is associated with dementia. However, the risk factors of dementia in patients with ASCVD remain unclear, necessitating the development of accurate prediction models.
In this study, we present a comprehensive pipeline to train and compare a broad spectrum of machine learning and deep learning brain clocks, integrating diverse preprocessing strategies and correction terms. Our analysis also includes established met...
Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinct adipose subtype comprising more than 10% of fat mass in healthy humans. However, the functions and pathophysiological correlates of this tissue are unclear, and its genetic determinants remain unknown. Here, w...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: An in silico quantitative score of coronary artery disease (ISCAD), built using machine learning and clinical data from electronic health records, has been shown to result in gradations of risk of subclinical atherosclerosis, cor...

Participation in research is supposed to be voluntary and informed. Yet it is difficult to ensure people are adequately informed about the potential uses of their biological materials when they donate samples for future research. We propose a novel c...
AIMS: This study aims to compare the performance of contemporary machine learning models with statistical models in predicting all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to develop a user-friendly mortality risk prediction tool...
