MRI-derived quantification of hepatic vessel-to-volume ratios in chronic liver disease using a deep learning approach.

European radiology experimental
BACKGROUND: We aimed to quantify hepatic vessel volumes across chronic liver disease stages and healthy controls using deep learning-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis, and assess correlations with biomarkers for liver (dys)function and ...

Screening for Parkinson's disease using "computer vision".

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Identifying bradykinesia is crucial for diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD). Traditionally, the finger-tapping test has been used, relying on subjective assessments by physicians. Computer vision offers a non-contact and cost-effective al...

Circulating cell-free RNA signatures for the characterization and diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
People living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) experience heterogeneous and debilitating symptoms that lack sufficient biological explanation, compounded by the absence of accurate, noninvasive diagnostic tools. To add...

Machine Learning-Based Analysis of Lifestyle Risk Factors for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: Retrospective Case-Control Study.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) varies among individuals and is related to a variety of lifestyle factors in addition to the presence of chronic diseases.

Non-invasive acoustic classification of adult asthma using an XGBoost model with vocal biomarkers.

Scientific reports
Traditional diagnostic methods for asthma, a widespread chronic respiratory illness, are often limited by factors such as patient cooperation with spirometry. Non-invasive acoustic analysis using machine learning offers a promising alternative for ob...

Altered gray matter morphometry in psychogenic erectile dysfunction patients: A Surface-based morphometry study.

Scientific reports
Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED) is a prevalent male sexual dysfunction lacking organic etiology. Endeavors have been made in previous studies to disclose the brain pathological mechanisms of pED. However, the cortical morphological characteris...

Data Collection for Automatic Depression Identification in Spanish Speakers Using Deep Learning Algorithms: Protocol for a Case-Control Study.

JMIR research protocols
BACKGROUND: Depression is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Although common, it remains difficult to diagnose due to its heterogeneous symptomatology. Mental health questionnaires are currently the most used assessm...

Uncovering locomotor learning dynamics in people with Parkinson's disease.

PloS one
Locomotor learning is important for improving gait and balance impairments in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). While PD disrupts neural networks involved in motor learning, there is a limited understanding of how PD influences the time course of...

Prediction of postoperative visual cognitive impairment using graph theory and machine learning based on resting-state brain networks.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Visual cognitive impairment is among the most common postoperative cognitive dysfunctions, significantly impacting recovery and quality of life in elderly patients. However, effective preoperative prediction methods remain lacking. We dev...

Non-invasive breath testing to detect colorectal cancer: protocol for a multicentre, case-control development and validation study (COBRA2 study).

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer in the United Kingdom. The five-year survival rate from CRC is only 10% when discovered at a late stage, but can exceed 90% if diagnosed early. Symptoms related to CRC can be non-sp...
