AI-supported versus manual microscopy of Kato-Katz smears for diagnosis of soil-transmitted helminth infections in a primary healthcare setting.

Scientific reports
Soil-transmitted helminths primarily comprise Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and hookworms, infecting more than 600 million people globally, particularly in underserved communities. Manual microscopy of Kato-Katz thick smears is a widely ...

Breath profiles in paediatric allergic asthma by proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry.

BMJ open respiratory research
INTRODUCTION: Enhancing paediatric asthma diagnosis is crucial. Molecular analysis of exhaled breath is a rapidly evolving field aimed at harnessing established and innovative technologies for clinical applications. This study evaluates the feasibili...

Comprehensive analysis and experimental validation of BST1 as a novel diagnostic biomarker for pediatric sepsis using multiple machine learning algorithms.

European journal of pediatrics
Bone marrow stromal cell antigen-1 (BST1) expression is elevated in a variety of human diseases, but its relationship with pediatric sepsis is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the expression of BST1 in pediatric sepsis patients and its value ...

Changes in Epidemiological Characteristics of Varicella and Breakthrough Cases in Ningbo, China, From 2010 to 2023: Surveillance Study.

JMIR public health and surveillance
BACKGROUND: Varicella is a prevalent respiratory infectious disease. Continuous monitoring is essential to understand evolving epidemiological patterns, particularly given the impact of vaccination and recent nonpharmacological interventions.

Rate of brain aging associates with future executive function in Asian children and older adults.

eLife
Brain age has emerged as a powerful tool to understand neuroanatomical aging and its link to health outcomes like cognition. However, there remains a lack of studies investigating the rate of brain aging and its relationship to cognition. Furthermore...

Fecal gut microbiota and amino acids as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers of Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

Gut microbes
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Fecal calprotectin (FCP) has limited specificity as diagnostic biomarker of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), leading to unnecessary invasive endoscopies. This study aimed to develop and validate a fecal microbiota and ...

Air Pollution and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Unveiling Multipollutant Risks and Sociodemographic Influences in California.

Environmental health perspectives
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with increasing prevalence worldwide. Air pollution may be a major contributor to the rise in ASD cases. This study investigated how the risk of ASD associated with prenatal...

Identifying determinants of under-5 mortality in Bangladesh: A machine learning approach with BDHS 2022 data.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Under-5 mortality in Bangladesh remains a critical indicator of public health and socio-economic development. Traditional methods often struggle to capture the complex, non-linear relationships influencing under-5 mortality. This study le...

Interpretable web-based machine learning model for predicting intravenous immunoglobulin resistance in Kawasaki disease.

Italian journal of pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children that is treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). However, 10-20% of cases exhibit IVIG resistance, which increases the risk of coronary complications. E...
