Genetic analyses of eight complex diseases using predicted continuous representations of disease.

Cell reports methods
We evaluated whether predicted continuous disease representations could enhance genetic discovery beyond case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS) phenotypes across eight complex diseases in up to 485,448 UK Biobank participants. Predicted ph...

Perceived social support in the daily life of people with Parkinson's disease: a distinct role and potential classifier.

Scientific reports
Motor outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) have long been the primary diagnostic criteria and treatment targets. While non-motor outcomes of PD impact daily well-being, they are rarely targeted by interventions or utilized for classification. Despite...

Lysophospholipid metabolism, clinical characteristics, and artificial intelligence-based quantitative assessments of chest CT in patients with stable COPD and healthy smokers.

Scientific reports
The specific role of lysophospholipids (LysoPLs) in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not yet fully understood. We determined serum LysoPLs in 20 patients with stable COPD and 20 healthy smokers using liquid chromato...

A longitudinal cohort study uncovers plasma protein biomarkers predating clinical onset and treatment response of rheumatoid arthritis.

Nature communications
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory condition posing challenges in identifying biomarkers for onset, severity and treatment responses. Here we investigate the plasma proteome in a longitudinal cohort of 278 RA patients, alongside 60 ...

AI-Driven segmentation and morphogeometric profiling of epicardial adipose tissue in type 2 diabetes.

Cardiovascular diabetology
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with cardiometabolic risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its spatial distribution and structural alterations remain understudied. We aim to develop a shape-aware, AI-based method for automated ...

Machine learning and discriminant analysis model for predicting benign and malignant pulmonary nodules.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary Nodules (PNs) are a trend considered as the early manifestation of lung cancer. Among them, PNs that remain stable for more than two years or whose pathological results suggest not being lung cancer are considered benign PNs (BP...

EEG microstate analysis in children with prolonged disorders of consciousness.

Scientific reports
Prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) in children lack objective and effective diagnostic methods to assess consciousness states, hindering targeted treatment selection and delaying recovery. It remains unclear whether EEG microstate analysis, ...

Determination of lung cancer exhaled breath biomarkers using machine learning-a new analysis framework.

Scientific reports
Exhaled breath samples of lung cancer patients (LC), tuberculosis (TB) patients and asymptomatic controls (C) were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ten volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified as possible biomarke...

Raised Leptin and Pappalysin2 cell-free RNAs are the hallmarks of pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia with fetal growth restriction.

Nature communications
Preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR) complicate 5-10% of pregnancies and are major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Here we demonstrate that measuring circulating cell-free RNAs (cfRNAs) from maternal plasma can a...

Artificial intelligence-based diabetes risk prediction from longitudinal DXA bone measurements.

Scientific reports
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious global health concern that poses a significant threat to human life. Beyond its direct impact, diabetes substantially increases the risk of developing severe complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular disea...
