BACKGROUND: Advancements in artificial intelligence and the development of shape models that quantify normal head shape and facial morphology provide frameworks by which the outcomes of craniofacial surgery can be compared. In this work, the authors ...
Pediatric obesity can drastically heighten the risk of cardiometabolic alterations later in life, with insulin resistance standing as the cornerstone linking adiposity to the increased cardiovascular risk. Puberty has been pointed out as a critical s...

Children worldwide are becoming increasingly inactive, leading to significant wellness challenges. Initial findings from our research team indicate that robots could potentially provide a more effective approach (compared to other age-appropriate toy...
The use of targeted agents in the treatment of pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) relies on the determination of molecular status. It has been shown that genetic alterations in pLGG can be identified non-invasively using MRI-based radiomic features ...
OBJECTIVES: Holistic segmentation of CT structural alterations with 3D deep learning has recently been described in cystic fibrosis (CF), allowing the measurement of normalized volumes of airway abnormalities (NOVAA-CT) as an automated quantitative o...

BACKGROUND: Identification of factors that affect graft survival in kidney transplantation can increase graft survival and reduce mortality. Artificial intelligence modelling enables impartial evaluation of clinician bias. This study aimed to examine...
OBJECTIVES: Natural language processing and machine learning have the potential to lead to biased predictions. We designed a novel Automated RIsk Assessment (ARIA) machine learning algorithm that assesses risk of violence and aggression in adolescent...
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis with global public health impact, particularly in poor socio-economic settings in tropical regions. Transmitted through urine-contaminated water or soil from rodents, dogs, and livestock, leptospirosis causes over a millio...
