Development of Machine Learning Models for Predicting Radiation Dermatitis in Breast Cancer Patients Using Clinical Risk Factors, Patient-Reported Outcomes, and Serum Cytokine Biomarkers.

Clinical breast cancer
BACKGROUND: Radiation dermatitis (RD) is a significant side effect of radiotherapy experienced by breast cancer patients. Severe symptoms include desquamation or ulceration of irradiated skin, which impacts quality of life and increases healthcare co...

Plasma Cytokine and Chemokine Profiles Predict Efficacy and Toxicity of Anti-CD19 CAR-T Cell Therapy in Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Clinical lymphoma, myeloma & leukemia
BACKGROUND: Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL); however, durable complete responses are achieved in only 30% to 40% of patients. Additionally, CAR-T therapy...

Decoding the cytokine code for heart failure based on bioinformatics, machine learning and Bayesian networks.

Biochimica et biophysica acta. Molecular basis of disease
BACKGROUND: Despite maximal pharmacological treatment guided by clinical guidelines, the prognosis of heart failure (HF) remains poor, posing a significant public health burden. This necessitates uncovering novel pathological and cardioprotective pat...

Immunological composition of human milk before and during subclinical and clinical mastitis.

Frontiers in immunology
Mastitis, an inflammatory condition affecting more than 25% of breastfeeding women, is usually associated with reduced milk secretion, pain, and discomfort, which often leads to early cessation of breastfeeding. Although the etiology of mastitis is m...

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes associated with the vitamin D pathway related to clinical and therapeutic outcomes of American tegumentary leishmaniasis.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
BACKGROUND: The vitamin D pathway contributes to the microbicidal activity of macrophages against infection. In addition to induction of this pathway, interferon-gamma (IFNγ), interleukin (IL)-15, and IL32γ are part of a network of pro-inflammatory ...

Effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Chinese propolis on dental pulp stem cell viability, migration and cytokine expression.

PeerJ
BACKGROUND: Propolis is a natural substance produced by honeybees that has various biological properties including, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Although previous studies have evaluated the antimicrobial effects of pro...

Cytokine profiles as predictors of HIV incidence using machine learning survival models and statistical interpretable techniques.

Scientific reports
HIV remains a critical global health issue, with an estimated 39.9 million people living with the virus worldwide by the end of 2023 (according to WHO). Although the epidemic's impact varies significantly across regions, Africa remains the most affec...

Machine learning identifies cytokine signatures of disease severity and autoantibody profiles in systemic lupus erythematosus - a pilot study.

Scientific reports
Disrupted cytokine networks and autoantibodies play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. However, conflicting reports and non-reproducibility have hindered progress regarding the translational potential of cytokines ...

Identification and validation of interferon-stimulated gene 15 as a biomarker for dermatomyositis by integrated bioinformatics analysis and machine learning.

Frontiers in immunology
BACKGROUND: Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the skin and muscles. It can lead to increased mortality, particularly when patients develop associated malignancies or experience fatal complications such as pulmonary ...
