The association between maternal exposure to ten neonicotinoid insecticides and preterm birth in Guangxi, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Preterm birth (PTB) is a primary cause of mortality among newborns globally. Prenatal exposure to environmental pollutants has been suggested to increase the PTB risk. Studies have shown NEOs may be linked to adverse birth outcomes. However, the impa...

Investigation of serum neuroserpin levels in pregnant women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia: a prospective case-control study.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
OBJECTIVE: Neuroserpin, a serine protease inhibitor, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Given the central role of inflammation and neurological involvement in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, this study aimed ...

Reduced blood EPAC1 protein levels as a marker of severe coronary artery disease: the role of hypoxic foam cell-transformed smooth muscle cells.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cells loaded with cholesterol (foam-VSMCs) play a crucial role in the progression of human atherosclerosis. Exchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP 1 (EPAC1) is a critical protein in the regulation of vascular t...

Explainable Machine Learning Models for Colorectal Cancer Prediction Using Clinical Laboratory Data.

Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center
IntroductionEarly diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) poses a significant clinical challenge. This study aims to develop machine learning (ML) models for CRC risk prediction using clinical laboratory data.MethodsThis retrospective, single-center stu...

Using machine learning involving diagnoses and medications as a risk prediction tool for post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) in primary care.

BMC medicine
BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to determine whether the application of machine learning could predict PASC by using diagnoses from primary care and prescribed medication 1 year prior to PASC diagnosis.

Machine learning technique-based four-autoantibody test for early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a multicenter, retrospective study with a nested case-control study.

BMC medicine
BACKGROUND: Autoantibodies represent promising diagnostic blood-based biomarkers that may be generated prior to the first clinically detectable signs of cancers. In present study, we aimed to identify a novel optimized autoantibody panel with high di...

The clinical significance of an AI-based assumption model for neurocognitive diseases using a novel dual-task system.

Scientific reports
Dual-task composed of gait or stepping tasks combined with cognitive tasks has been well-established as valuable tools for detecting neurocognitive disorders such as mild cognitive impairment and early-stage Alzheimer's disease. We previously develop...

Machine Learning-Based Diagnostic Prediction Model Using T1-Weighted Striatal Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Early-Stage Parkinson's Disease Detection.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD) typically relies on clinical evaluations, often detecting it in advanced stages. Recently, artificial intelligence has increasingly been applied to imaging for neurodegenerative disorders....

Deciphering Gut Microbiome in Colorectal Cancer via Robust Learning Methods.

Genes
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide and is closely linked to the gut microbiota. Identifying reproducible and generalizable microbial signatures holds significant potential for enhancing early detection ...

Classification of schizophrenia spectrum disorder using machine learning and functional connectivity: reconsidering the clinical application.

BMC psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Early identification of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder (SSD) is crucial for effective intervention and prognosis improvement. Previous neuroimaging-based classifications have primarily focused on chronic, medicated SSD cohorts. However, ...
