Predicting incident cardiovascular disease among African-American adults: A deep learning approach to evaluate social determinants of health in the Jackson heart study.

PloS one
The present study sought to leverage machine learning approaches to determine whether social determinants of health improve prediction of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). Participants in the Jackson Heart study with no history of CVD at baselin...

Algorithmic Fairness of Machine Learning Models for Alzheimer Disease Progression.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Predictive models using machine learning techniques have potential to improve early detection and management of Alzheimer disease (AD). However, these models potentially have biases and may perpetuate or exacerbate existing disparities.

On the use of aspect-based sentiment analysis of Twitter data to explore the experiences of African Americans during COVID-19.

Scientific reports
According to data from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as of June 2020, a significant number of African Americans had been infected with the coronavirus disease, experiencing disproportionately higher death rates compared to other...

Parental Perceptions on Use of Artificial Intelligence in Pediatric Acute Care.

Academic pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Family engagement is critical in the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based clinical decision support tools, which will play an increasing role in health care in the future. We sought to understand parental perceptions of co...

Application of deep learning algorithm on whole genome sequencing data uncovers structural variants associated with multiple mental disorders in African American patients.

Molecular psychiatry
Mental disorders present a global health concern, while the diagnosis of mental disorders can be challenging. The diagnosis is even harder for patients who have more than one type of mental disorder, especially for young toddlers who are not able to ...

Optimizing hepatitis B virus screening in the United States using a simple demographics-based model.

Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects >290 million persons globally, and only 10% have been diagnosed, presenting a severe gap that must be addressed. We developed logistic regression (LR) and machine learning (ML; random forest) mod...

Deep learning prediction of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in African Americans by copy number variation.

Experimental biology and medicine (Maywood, N.J.)
Current understanding of the underlying molecular network and mechanism for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is lacking and incomplete. Previous studies suggest that genomic structural variations play an important role in the pathogene...

Ensemble machine learning of factors influencing COVID-19 across US counties.

Scientific reports
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) the causal agent for COVID-19, is a communicable disease spread through close contact. It is known to disproportionately impact certain communities due to both biological susceptibility and...

Clinical characteristics and oncological outcomes in negative multiparametric MRI patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

The Prostate
BACKGROUND: Efforts are ongoing to try and find ways to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies without missing clinically significant prostate cancers (csPCa). The utility of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in detecting...

Robust performance of deep learning for automatic detection and segmentation of brain metastases using three-dimensional black-blood and three-dimensional gradient echo imaging.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether a deep learning (DL) model using both three-dimensional (3D) black-blood (BB) imaging and 3D gradient echo (GRE) imaging may improve the detection and segmentation performance of brain metastases compared to that using...
